    I meant that little disputed area between Morocco and Maurtantia. Not the whole thing. I would like to come here, I fixed up my unrealistic posts in the other thread (World 2400).
    For there is [another] kind of violence, slower but just as deadly, destructive as the shot or the bomb in the night. This is the violence of institutions -- indifference, inaction, and decay. This is the violence that afflicts the poor, that poisons relations between men because their skin has different colors. - Bobby Kennedy (Mindless Menance of Violence)

      Scott I dub thee claims mod! You seem to know more about what's realistic in a claim than I do.

        The US doesn't even have 700,000....

        But in reality, a 2.9 million man army was actually used by the Soviets for many years, and they were a successful (used loosely) country.

        China too.

        1.5 million is a tremendous army, and people should shy away from even 600,000 especially these huge european countries...

        Hell I've got Vietnam, who has the third largest army in the world and I've got a little more than a million men.

          I think that as long as someone realistically has the resources to support more than 1.5 million men than they should be able to have more soldiers if they want too.

            Mao, go ahead and take China. I will take Japan.

              Giancarlo, I believe your claim of all of the Iberian Peninsula, Morocco, and the entire Western Sahara explains why we treat you this way.


              Western Sahara is a disputed territory of Morroco in northwesretn Africa. Giancarlo did not mean all of the western Sahara desert. His claim is smaller than many others which have already been accepted.

                The US's army only numbers some hundred thousand.

                  Then we should cut down on claims. Yes, than Giancarlo should have been more specific the first time.

                    But you have to remember, how many posters can we realisticall expect to get? I mean, there isn't exactly a steady stream of newbies coming in. And if we leave large countries like NPCs we'll basically be interacting with ourselves or the mods to gain new territory.

                        Fast Eddie: Scandinavia, in total, has a little over... hmm... counting... 24 million people... more or less half of Spains population. I'd say the claim is valid.

                          I reserve Russia for Darth Veda. It just wouldn't be the Big Huge thread without him.

                            T-Head Russia isn't split! At the moment it is to poor and broken to do much of anything. I recognize the reservation of Russia.

                              Bearcat... Both parts are unclaimed... meaning if a player wants ALL of Russia, then I remove the line... But, as it's reserved, I won't have to do that
