Sorry, just had to comment.
From what I understand, Ceretis is planning to expand into that land, though he hasn't done it yet. I think you should talk with him, so that this doesn't set off any flames if you gain this land. Then again, it may not, but it's better to not risk it.

Alright, I think I'll be defending my claim here since I filed it earlier, and the RP has long been in session. I'll be updating my claim with East and West Rhuvanland later today, like around 7:45 PM EST.Syrixia:Well, it looks like I'll have to find another new location for Rhuvanland.19chickens:Hello! I would like to claim a location on the map, and hereby submit an image for consideration by the Cartography team. I understand that you would prefer the border to be done in white, though I hope this will do.

We are farming the question out to Bels due to conflicts of interest. But there are three points.Syrixia:Alright, I think I'll be defending my claim here since I filed it earlier, and the RP has long been in session.

A.) This is your second claim and first claims generally take precident.
2.) You yourself asked us to halt the claim, you can't both say don't add it then backtrack and say you own it
III.) In reality your RP doesn't necessarily cement an area. The only thing shape, size and etc are even mentioned really is in the image in the OP.
Yes, but the area was chosen because of a previous post you made. You said Ryccia's island was too far away so I chose the way that was possibly the shortest length of sailing from Syrixia. It's as close as one can get. Also, I didn't say don't add it at all. I said wait to the next update, by which the RP should be near over or over, to add it.
Ok, it's my job to adjudicate this claim dispute. There is no formalized method for this, so I'm going to consider the following criteria;
1. Order that the claims where made in
2. Existing claims; size, location, number
3. Extent of claim
In general, I believe that the claim made first should receive first consideration. First come, first served has to be the general rule. In regards to existing claims, first time claims should receive consideration over secondary claims in general; however where someone wishes to extend their existing claim into adjacent territory this should be judged on the same basis as a first time claim. Thirdly, where there are two conflicting claims the smaller claim should generally be given consideration over the larger claim.
Finally, I reserve the right to take into consideration other factors according to my own whim when making my decision.
According to the three criteria I have established, this matter is tied;
1. Syrixia
2. Bluezone
3. Tied
Syrixia made his claim first; however, this is a secondary claim for him whilst Bluezone has made no previous claims. Their claims are also largely of the same size (going by Syrixia's latest version).
As such, I have chosen to rule in Syrixia's favor due to the fact that he made claimed the area first, and has established an IC basis for such a claim. Whilst this is not his first claim on the map, the fact that he and several other players have an ongoing roleplay centered around this area is signifigant.

Thank you, Belschaft. 
And, as I said, Bluezone, there are two other areas to choose from that fit your history. Or, if you want, you could edit your nation's history like I did when my old islands were deleted!

The physical map. Bluezone could claim mountains but they would be smaller than any of the ones on the physical map.
No, I will not be updating the physical map to add user defined mountain ranges. The map will be updated when the new continents are added at a point in the future - these will include new rivers, lakes and mountain ranges.

Nierr, I am mostly done with the Tir na Andalucia territorial expansion role play (just a few minor things to wrap it all up). I'd like to make the claim to have it added to the map however is part of a new continent the cartography team is discussing / working on adding. Do you (or Lore) have any time frame of when the new continents will be added?

An update on this: Drafts have been passed around the map team and I've received some feedback. The process is annoyingly slow but is ongoing.Nierr:
No eta for new landmasses because that would just be setting people up for disappointment.

If you apply for Citizenship (which has almost no required responsibilities, just don't commit any criminal acts, which are easy to avoid), I'm sure you'll get a Mentor from Home Affairs that can teach you about RPing within a few days. Alternatively, contact Andrew, Bootsie, or Cascadia about Mentoring; I'm sure they'd be happy to set you up with a Mentor. If you already have a Mentor, ask them for assistance.

Quite. Which isn't my problem. My problem is that it's wasted work if, as Syrixia says, Cronaal is going to be divided for "1 to 2 updates". So I'm going to get rid of the division in three weeks time? Why should I, therefore, add in the division?
