New Borders! Approval Poll.

[Sir Donald III]

This poll is basically the Second phase in determining New Provinces. This is in advance of a vote on an addition to the Code of Laws regarding adding provinces, yet this process is in line with the new proposal. (Since I wrote it )

Anyway, this is a multi-slot referendum. Please review each map and check each box you approve of. No Maximum.

A proposal must gain 10 Votes (slightly more than 55% of 18) in order to be considered for the next step. The Governors of "all affected Provinces" (read: Zarn) will have to individually sign off on or reject each proposal on its own merit. The Top 3 of these Proposals will go before the People.

After this post is a list of maps of each individual proposal, followed by the "Text Translation".

The first phase was a long discussion thread.

General philosophies and the proposed new law are in this thread.

And Finally, Slice the Pie. Sir Donald's Proposal.

 

[MSTK]

Can you please make these more easy to see? The borders are kind of hard to make out.

 

[Sir Donald III]

Now, for the Text Stuffs.

For Single Province Proposals (Chieftess, Provolution, and Rik), due to how my upcomming legislation defines Provinces, I have put the "other" cities in a land I have codenamed "Externia". (EDIT: This was to distinguish these from "Unorganized Territories" in other proposals.)

Chieftess: Rue Zarnia (Red)
Zarnia: Fanatikku, Furuyama, Immo, Zojoji, Epolenep, Shorin-Ryu, Klingon 1, Corrino, Odawara, Osgiliath, Sto'vo'kor, ("Ironport", "Culture Hill", Hlobane, Neapolis, Eridu, Akkad) (11 Japanatican, 2 Future sites, 4 Foreign cities.)
Externia: Regent, Windurst, ("Roman Iron", "North Horses", "Wheat Hill") (2 Jap cities)


Provolution's New Version: The Power of Five! (Pink)
Zarnia: Fanatikku, Immo, Zojoji, Shorin-Ryu, Osgiliath (5 Jap Cities)
Rokubishi (Future): Furuyama, Epolenep, ("Ironport", "Culture Hill", Akkad, Eridu, Neapolis) (2 Jap Cities, 2 Future Sites, 3 Foreign Cities)
Externia: Odawara, Regent, Corrino, Klingon 1, Sto'vo'kor, Windurst, ("Roman Iron", "North Horses", "Wheat Hill", a whole lot of foreign cities) (6 Jap Cities, 3 Future Sites)

Note: Rokubishi has been accepted as a possible addition by Provo, but has been classified as a "future" Division, pending the approval of the first division.


Blackheart: Northern territory (Yellow)
Zarnia: Fanatikku, Immo, Zojoji, Shorin-Ryu, Corrino (5 Jap Cities)
Rokubishi: Furuyama, Epolenep, Odawara, Regent, Klingon 1, ("Ironport", "Culture Hill", Neapolis, Eridu, Akkad) (5 Jap Cities, 1 Site)
Northern Territory (includes North Unorganized): Osgiliath, Sto'vo'kor, Windurst, (Swazi) (3 Jap Cities)
Other Unorganized: "Roman Iron"


Epimethius: Boxilvania (Green)
Zarnia: Fanatikku, Immo, Zojoji, Shorin-Ryu, Corrino, Klingon 1 (6 Jap Cities)
Steppe: Odawara, Regent, ("Roman Iron", Neapolis, Eridu) (2 Jap cities, 1 Future Site)
Highlands: Furuyama, Epolenep, ("Ironport", "Culture Hill", Akkad) (2 Jap Cities, 2 Future Sites)
Unorganized: Osgiliath, Sto'vo'kor, Windurst, ("NorthWestern Sites") (3 Jap Cities)


Cyc: Centra Provincia (Light blue)
Zarnia: Fanatikku, Furuyama, Zojoji, Immo (4 Jap Cities)
Southlands: Epolenep, Regent, ("Ironport", "Culture Hill", Neapolis, Eridu, Ellipi, Akkad) (2 Jap Cities, 2 Future Sites)
Northlands: Osgiliath, Sto'vo'kor, Windurst, ("North Horses", "Wheat Hill", Swazi) (3 Jap Cities, 2 Future Sites)
Eastlands: Shorin-Ryu, Odawara, Corrino, Klingon 1, ("Roman Iron", Hlobane, Intombe, Pompei, Antium, Pisae) (4 Jap Cities, 1 Future Site)


Rik Meleet: River Country (Dark Blue)
Zarnia: Fanatikku, Zojoji, Shorin-Ryu, Corrino, Osgiliath, Sto'vo'kor, (Hlobane) (6 Jap Cities, 1 Foreign City)
Externia: Furuyama, Immo, Epolenep, Odawara, Regent, Klingon 1, Windurst, ("Ironport", "Culture Hill", "Roman Iron", "North Horses", "Wheat Hill", many foreign sites.) (7 Jap Cities, 5 Future Sites)


Sir Donald: Piece of the Pie (Purple)
Zarnia: Fanatikku, Immo, Shorin-Ryu, Odawara, Corrino, Klingon 1, ("Roman Iron", Intombe, Pompei, Antium) (6 Jap Cities, 1 Future Site)
Rokubishi: Furuyama, Epolenep, Regent, ("Ironport", "Culture Hill", Pisae, Neapolis, Eridu, Ellipi, Akkad) (3 Japanese Cities, 2 Future Sites)
Northlands: Zojoji, Osgiliath, Sto'vo'kor, Windurst, ("North Horses", "Wheat Hill", Swazi, Hlobane) (4 Jap Cities, 2 Future Sites.)

Note: My proposal will be supplemented by future Divisions of at least Zarnia and Rokubishi.

 

[Sir Donald III]

Final Notes:

Fanatikku has been bolded because of its status as National capital and, if my legislation passes, Provincial Capital. The Governors of future Provinces will determine their Capitals.

Also, the colors by each proposal, these refer to this map. Ignore the Orange there.

I'm sorry about the size, but I thought it necessary to cover the entire breadth of the Japanatican Nation.

Finally, don't you think this is better than 7 polls at once?

EDIT: Remember, vote on Every one you like.

 

[Cyc]

After careful study of all the maps, I have come to the conclusion that Cyc's is the best one.

 

[Civman2004]

I'd be pretty happy with Cyc's, Blackheart's or Provo's. Must admit, I'm not a huge fan of the proposals where city workers are working tiles outside their own province

 

[invy]

Voted for blackhearts, epi's and cyc's proposals, in no special order.

 

[Provolution]

To defend my own proposal, it is the only map that has a clear division of lowlands (Zarnia), Highlands (Rokubishi, Japanese for Six Diamonds) and creates room for a distinct Northern Province and a distinct Eastern Province based on a combination of geographic criteria. Additionally, this model is very applicable as each governor faces a separate, not several enemies at large, beyond that, each province is equipped with each their iron resource, each province would have a critical landmass and and a critical number of cities, these cities will have all the land tiles within the province these belong too. Finally, this model is scalable with military conquest, separates role of the Capital province with the frontier provinces, and measures up tidily luxury clusters by province, one diamond province, one silk province and one wines province, as well as the second northern silk province. This model creates clarity symmetry and in general a political balance between the future governors, which is the most fair and at the same token the more geographically appealing and tidy borderset we can muster.

 

[Sir Donald III]

Thanks for playing. Since Centra Provincia was the only one to reach 10 votes, it will be the only one to advance ti the Governor's Desk.

 

[Cyc]

I thank everyone who voted for my proposal.

 

[blackheart]

Maybe we should repoll this with the top 3 options, 18 votes is a little lackluster.

 

[Chieftess]

Looks like a winner (though I must admit, Zarnia's borders look ugly. :/). Has to be the smallest capital province ever -- save for DG2 when we had a district.

 

[Black_Hole]

Looks like a winner (though I must admit, Zarnia's borders look ugly. :/). Has to be the smallest capital province ever -- save for DG2 when we had a district.

the reason i like centria was all the cities in zarnia had borders going around their temple radius, so some of the city tiles wont be in other provinces like on some of the other proposals
