This map uses color coding to display the various alliances of the Mediterranean region. Please make claims on the claims sub-forum.

The MMA is an alliance and Even if it's not as many nations as the Confederacy it needs to be shown as well. And the TMR also.

Agreed. The head or other authority of these organizations should make claim posts on who they have in each.
There seems to be several mutual members. I can't think of a way to portray this on a single map. Possibly more than one alliance map threads have to be created.

What could be done is to make the multiple members colored in stripes. The colours would represent the different alliances.

ummm... I was just wondering. What happened to my land in Africa in Tunisia.

That's how we used to do it. A diagonal line of one color followed by the other in alternating stripes, or one going one way and another going the other.

Fair enough. since you haven't requested the Vitosoprano land you were given instead, there will be a total land exchange to your former lands. Vitosoprano's land will remain were it was till an end of debate is reached.
I've thought of the stripes method already. However it doesn't solve the problem of someone being a member of three or more alliances membership which right now is conceivable and might be more so in the future. Would lead to an aesthetically displeasing effect easily(and even three stripes are a stretch).
Another alternative I was thinking was making a separate thread for each alliance type. As in, Military alliances, commercial based alliances, Transportation means alliances etc. Might be easier for new members to check them out and see what they want to involve themselves into and what alliance they want in, or knowing which they violate if they do specific actions.

True... that would be good to organize them. However, then you're in a situation with where to put the Confederacy. We span all three of those. Could we possibly have our own thread area on the forum to handle all of our affairs?

What was done before and since the alliance map isn't about looking pretty, was dots were used to add onto the alliances. As 3 alliances are pretty much the max you can pretty much be in, but still you could alternate the colors on the dots also. It can be difficult when the nation joins too many alliances but awell. And no one is getting their own section on the forums. You have made plenty of topics where you already work your issues.

With Vitosoprano gone, I doubt it could be done if we wanted. I know I have administration clearance and still can't do it.(Or maybe I was doing something wrong?) There will be no more areas from now on in this forum, until some of the board creators return.
Dots are interesting as a concept. I'm thinking pretty large dots for the most part, at least 3 times the size of the capital.
