Seriously, I've claimed Peru + Chile
I claimed Patagonia, which includes parts of Chile and Argentina, as shown here:
Are referring to Chilean lands not covered by that?
No, I'm pretty sure I made my claim before you, if not, alright.

Atlas has been a most confusing kingdom throughout the years, fluctuating between the statuses of major power and satellite state. Originally founded by many Arab-Berber tribes in modern-day Morocco, they immigrated to the Oran Cape, founding their first city, Aouni, there.
After focusing on maritime industry and fishing, the now unique brand of Arab-Berbers, which are called Atlaseans, started to develop their own culture, and in a way, language. After Houd al-Settati consolidated his reign by the first and last monarch vote, he started his own dynasty, the Settat Dynasty. Mastering archery and cavalry, their expansion into the mainland and coast of Dzaïr was unexpected to both neighboring tribes and to Atlaseans themselves. Under the reign of his grand-son, Aadil al-Sari', they used their newfound influence on the region and annexed the Tripolitanian coast. His marriage to a converted Catholic duchess, Mariyya al-Nasraniyya, merged his extensive nation with the small duchy based on the Cyrenaican coast. It is believed that his love for Mariyya enticed him to rename his dynasty to Nasr.
After years of internal strife between Aadil's children, Harun and Zain, and an eventual partition of the kingdom in Harunian Atlas and Zaïnian Qaranaysa, they were united by Zain, with help of Tuareg mercenaries. These Tuareg would then be betrayed and tricked into raidinig the salt mines in Taghaza and Gao, even briefly seizing Tombuktu, before losing the latter to local tribesmen due to lack of organization and investment. 'Oqrah has developed into a metropoli rivaling the biggest and fanciest of the world since the annexation of the salt mines and the importance of Sahrawi trade routes. Other big cities are: Zainiyya, Dascor, Aouni, Settat and Ra'in.
While Sunni at core, Atlas is believed to be very liberal and at times neglecting of it's religion. Zaïn and Atlas' biggest challenges remain to establish themselves as a rivaling force to neighboring nations, create a stable dynasty and succession, and eventually, successful expansion into their original lands, or even to untouched lands.
ATLAS, A PROVINCIAL OVERVIEW
ZAÏNIAN LANDS:
By far the richest region of Atlas, this land was the birthplace of the nation. Aouni's status as the 'mother city' gives it a unique status of respect, however, beyond the privilegies it has, Aouni has been suffering from a steady decline in industrial importance and population due to the shift from maritime to terrestrial culture pushed by Zaïn I and it's dangerous proximity to the neighboring Republic.
The 'Oqrah region north of the Silsilat Atlas is undoubtedly the best for agriculture and settlements, located between the mountains and the Mediterranean, it has benefited greatly under the rule of Zaïn. After the decision was met that the capital would be changed from Aouni to 'Oqrah, desert merchants and sea-farers started to put the city in primary focus. It's greatest growth came when Zaïn raided and conquered the salt mines of Gao and Taghaza and brought back the spoils to his new capital.
Wad Shams and Tindouf are considered rest cities for the merchants traveling from one side of the continent to the other, the newfound oil in the region has catapulted both of the villages into the status of major cities.
Turah al-Sahara is scarcely populated, the biggest settlement being Aïn Sbaa, which doesn't exceed the 5.000 mark.
HARUNIAN LANDS:
Haruniyya, Sirte and Mariniyya are the most populated regions of the territory, all except Haruniyya have great ports and are of a maritime/mercantile focus, Haruniyya is going through the process of reconstruction, after a revolt led by an apparent heir of Harun, Zaïn's dead brother. It has great potential to steal the shine from 'Oqrah, which some say causes the King to stall the construction processes and hinders it's growth.
The south is barely populated, with Sabha being the biggest settlement with 70.000.
The Sudan is a militant buffer region, almost exclusively occupied by Atlasean troops.
MALI:
The relatively new additions to the empire are still very militant at places, which makes the Atlasean settlement plans in Ghao, Taghaza and Mayrit (in Bilad al-Jahl) very slow, Wad Aswad shows promise, as individuals from Harunia and Zaïnia started to build gas stations and outposts along the Niger.

Relax, since they are feudal without modernization the population (which is bigger than otl England) is not feasible and they will starve so fast you will be able to get in and throw the rest of the demented out to make it anew.
I believe claims last only until the next day, rather than 24 hours. Here is a quote from the rules:
"You can make 1 country per day (this may change to 1 per page, but for now, it is 1 per day), unless they are super tiny countries, in which case, 2 or 3 is fine (by super tiny, I mean Luxembourg sized!). You can use the rest of the day to fill in the history of the country. By 1 per day, it does not mean you have to wait 24 hours to post a new country, it means you have to wait until the next day. So you could post one at 11PM on one day, then wait one hour and post another one for the next day."
This, if we're going by the same definition of next day, also seems to make it somewhat clear when it comes to claims:
"You make a claim, then, before the day is done, you make your country."
I'll let you take Canada, but I would like for there to be a clarification so that, in the future, the rules may be followed more effectively.
EDIT:
With that in mind, I'll claim the Peloponnese.

Claiming Namibia, Angola, Botswana, and all land between Western Mozambique, Southern Congo, and South Africa.
Then I came Angola, Zambia, Botswana, and the same borders, minus wherever Tyriet's nation is.
Can we get a list of what is claimed and what is not?

If you take all of the west coast, the FEA - Alaskan lore doesn't make sense, which it should.
I also claim Sinaloa region of OTL Mexico.
Well forgive me that I was busy yesterday, it's not like I'm claiming Greece still
Updated the mop to properly display all countries now:
Also note that I rename Red Eagle to Baltic League since the former is a stupid name and I do not wish to add to your meme and dumb world screwing and instead make a logical and enjoyable alternate world.

Updated Map, I believe. @Kaisersohaib did I get your country right?(Tunis was taken already). Any problems?
Oh I Just saw your map Afaslizo. My fourth country wasn't added, the one on the coast of Guinea. And I think Kaiser claimed Mali as well.
Fair enough. We both missed something
