Actually, I don't think you can post a binding poll with these three options, as option #3 was posted only 12 hours ago.
 
And also, proposal 3 is a bit strange. It would lead to city states?

Proposal 1 would be the only one complying to our COL binding us to geopgraphically based borders.
#2 and #3 are in no way geo-based :-)

the poll should also differentiate between #1 and #1 with the province of bohemia combined with province #2.

after all, i think this poll is not binding at all as it doesnt comply to the prediscuss-act.
 
@Dis - Ah, but Option #2 does follow geographical boundries. It follows the coast NW from Bavaria to the forests, then cuts SW to the Mountains. It then follows the Mountains SE to the forests and encircles them. We then use the unknown lands as a border to move further SE and then cut NE to the Moutains with the gold. We then follow the coast line back up to Bavaria. We may have discovered what was beyond the unknown area's border, but at the time the map was made, it was a perfect natural border.

And as far as your third little paragraph about #1, you're going to have to draw up a map, post it, and discuss it.
 
cyc: well, even with the unknown lands it is obvious the proposal 2 does not follow the geo borders when the land is uncovered.
there is no geo border at point 4 there so why cut the valey in half?
 
Abstain - I don't like any of them. ;)
 
I too voted Abstain.

It seems a bit premature at this point since we only have three cities and there is still a lot of unexplored territory within a stone's throw of our capital.

If we are to create our provincial borders based on landmarks and natural geographical boundaries, then we should at least explore the surrounding area to determine what those boundaries are. As we "explore" towards Azteca during the next few turn chats, we will undoubtedly reveal more of our surrounding terrain, and will be better equipped to draw up provincial borders that make sense.
 
I second fortyJ. We can start defining borders with 5 cities latest and should urgently explore the black areas.
 
I am voting abstain. None of these seem particularly logical, based on geography or need. I urge the border planners to come up with a plan that, in general, has bavaria and the northern sea-facing valley as a province, has the broad valley south of the doughnut forest as a second province, and has the area from the eastern isthmus and east (toward america) as another. Just an idea, but that's my thought. Sorry I don't have time to draw a map
 
I humbly submit the following border proposal for our first province, Bohemia.

I suggest the following border because:
  • It is consistent with the natural geographical boundaries.
  • It provides enough room for 8 to 10 cities (not too small and not too large for a governor to manage).

Man, I like FortyJ's map for Bohemia. It entails all the points we've discussed for our borders, including the even distribution of the corruption/waste zone. 2 more provincial boundries could easily be split off of that. Good work.
 
Since I abandoned the one city capital province idea, I will have to agree with fortyJ and Cyc.
