thank you Linguifex for keeping this alive :]
and I think you can just post the picture as an attachment. I still do it and I have never gotten a message about an image quota or anything.
good work, very creative!

I put The Boink on an island since ol bofosh couldn't tell the difference between water and land.

Fixed it again.

Thank you, it looks really interesting, but next time please save it in PNG. (JPG makes it look all pixellated)
Don't worry, I'll redo it though.

yes, please keep going.
I'm tempted to make a new country, but I want to see what other people's ideas are.
patiku copied my thread and it's getting more attention
you can put as many countries as you want. It's inspiring.

This is seriously awesome. Thank you!
I hope this continues.

I changed Virélatteristi to its original color because yellow is used to indicate members of the Sjelt Pact Organisation (SPO).

And JPGistanis...bred...and migrated to a New World ,JPGistan 2.0...

Sure.

okay, just take the new map, erase Virélatteristi and draw the new borders.

Oh wait, the blue is the ocean and the white the land? Goddamn am I ever dense. Somehow that failed to dawn on me all this time, leading me to assume that I had carved out an island for my country when in fact I had drawn a line through an inland sea. If only I had figured that out sooner, I would ...

thank you treskro! :]
do you have any more information about Thebekoxa?

The Freethinker's Republic: The Freethinker Republic was established to give refuge to Freethought, which is a philosophical viewpoint that holds opinions should be formed on the basis of logic, reason, and empiricism, rather than authority, tradition, or other dogmas.

Fixed. The Freethinker's Republic has been created. Still waiting for a description of the country from my boyfriend. The Longitude of Freedom is a demilitarized zone. The Sjelt Pact Organisation (SPO): Alfava, Tirpazen, and Urnenchu are all one color because they are allied. Öömi, Fantana, Karakeo ...

I appreciate those of you who paid attention to the directions, but please save as .PNG not .JPG (it messes it up) and also I know colors look nice but eventually it's going to cause problems. This was an experiment to see what would happen. It's pretty much a free-for-all but don't take up the whol...

I hate you.

I was not sure exactly what landmasses you wanted borders drawn around, so I picked one of the northern landmasses. I was picturing something vaguely Scandanavian, cold and remote but also enlightened. The name means "Cold land" in one of my conlang projects. You seem to have just drawn a line. If ...

Copy and paste to MSpaint (or whatever)
Draw your borders with a thin medium-gray pencil
Name it with a small black Arial font.
Post new picture.
Go.

My theory is that some conworlders feel obliged to start from the very beginning of civilization and work their way from there.
Like I do...and then I overwhelm myself.
It's probably because I don't want to start in the middle because then I would have to work backwards like Zomp did.

what?

I'm setting a goal for myself. I don't know where it will take me, but it seems like a great challenge. I want to learn all the Nordic languages each up to a semi-fluent level. Danish Swedish Norwegian Finnish Icelandic Faroese maybe... I know I know inb4 can't become fluent blahblahblah . I mean I ...

-no articles (a, the) -no gender -no singular/plural. although they have -tachi if you want to emphasize that it's plural. i think? -5 vowels and 11 consonants which makes 48 syllables. Very easy to pronounce! -free word order in a sentence. -they have two syllabaries called Hiragana and Katakana. -...

I'm 17 and I want to learn Arabic because of the career opportunities and it is high in demand. But Arabic has many dialects that are very different from each other. If I speak standard Arabic then they wouldn't understand me! :x I don't even think it's worth majoring in a foreign language because t...

i'm having trouble imagining what it looks like. do you have any drawings or anything?

My first language is English, and my ancestors probably spoke English, or maybe Welsh, Irish Gaelic, Scottish Gaelic, or German.
yeah I know...not very interesting.
