If someone would also do me a Greater Tunisia–type thing, that would be really helpful.
Time zones are screwing me up. How about this? Since some of these are massive, I'd say someone can make a country using some of their land (not too much), but they must keep them historically as a former part of them. Say they broke off at some point or something. I don't like all these massive empires. For now, someone can take a little land from the Islamic Union (maybe just some from Central Asia?) or from the ginormous North American country (perhaps Alaska or Texas).
Fixed the map. Readded in Iberia and a few other countries, recolored Western Roman Empire so that it looks less like the Islamic Union, and added in Carthage. All the information you gave (unless I missed a post) was that it took up Tunisia. I made the borders differ from OTL Tunisia, but other than that it is pretty much the same. If you want the borders changed, let me know.
@silentsam5 Does my Claim on the Japanese islands have validity and can I make another nation or should I wait until 24 hours have passed since my last Claim?
You can only make one country per day, and the country must be claimed beforehand. If you withdraw a claim, you can make a new one. If it has been 24 hours since you claimed and you haven't made a country for it, then someone else can take the claim. For your question, your claim is valid if it is less than 24 hours since you made it, or if someone hasn't taken it. Withdraw your claim if you want to make a new one.
I mean, this would be my current claim. Should I wait 24 hours from my first post or can I go ahead and make a new nation. Also what timezone should we use to symbolize the start of a new day?
By 24 hours, I just mean the day needs to be the next day, so you can make one at 11 PM one day, and then 2 hours from then (which would be the next day). But then you wouldn't be able to make another for 23 hours at least.
Time zone? By the bottom of a post it has the time, where it says somethin like "silentsam5,Yesterday at 22:38". Whatever time zone that is.

Okie dokie. I think that might be your timezone and I think it should be Eastern Time. Could you add it into the rules at the start that at the start of each day, according to your timezone, everybody has 1 claim for a larger nation and then the Luxembourg size rules. This claim is renewed when a new day starts according to Eastern Time, just so that everybody knows when the time is and from what time they have to convert to their local time. I shall now make my Japan.
I'd like to claim the eastern coast of Canada which has not yet been taken by Megamurrica.

Official Name: The Republic of Japan 日本共和国
Commonly Used Name(s): Japan, Nippon, Yamato
Government Type: Parliamentary democracy
Current Ruling Party: The Social Democrats
Capital: Tokyo
Head of State: HE Matsumoto Yuki, Prime Minister of the Republic of Japan
Cultures: Japanese (98%), Finnish(1%), other (1%)
Languages: Japanese [official language]
Religions: Shinto, Buddhism (majority and largely shared believers ca 80 percent)
Population: 127 million
Founding Date: 660 BC, claims due to foundation.
Date of Max Extent: 1920
Location: The Japanese home islands, the Kurills, the Ryukyuan Archipelago
Brief History: Japanese history is largely shared until the Sengoku era with the OTL Japan. During the Sengoku era the Imperial family was toppled from even their quite figurative position and after a Northern Daimyo named Yoshinobu Hiroshi gathered enough power to make a march to claim the Shogunate, the Sengoku era ended. Yoshinobu was met on the fields in front of Kyoto by a coalition of Southern daimyo. The battle of Kyoto as it was to be known in later years was a disgraceful defeat for the Southern Coalition, who were betrayed when the Daimyo and his forces from the area currently known as Hiroshima defected and caused much damage in the enemies rear. The man named Yoshinobu marched into Kyoto and claimed the title of Shogun, this title now lacking the Imperial backing had lost all meaning so a new system was devised and Yoshinobu claimed the title of Emperor, forging some documents and bloodline to prove that he infact was an imperial decendant. The Sengoku Era ended in the year 1600 AD
This charade went on for some 200 years, when a tyrant bearing the name of Juuichiro was dethroned and and the Republic of Japan was declared alongside large scale modernisation projects. The Finnish Kingdom, alongside other nations in Europe, offered help to the Japanese in modernisation and in result gained an ally in the Pacific. The Finnish-Japanese Treaty of Mutual Cooperation was formed in the year 1820 AD and with that Japan had secured Finland as a useful ally for years to come. The Finns helped rebuild a republican Japan after their own federation was formed and this has highly influenced Japanese policy towards the egalitarian path.
Japan alongside many was rocked by the Socialist Revolution in the Islamic Union, though it didn't share a landborder with the Islamic giant, it did feel a threat to its citizens living in the Finnic State and its trade routes to its Western Ally. This saw a reorganisation of the Japanese military to focus more on keeping its enemies as far away from the Home Islands as possible and thus saw a ramping up of the amount spent on the Navy and Air Force. Military tradition is valued in this nation, but unlike their Finnic allies, Japan has no mandatory military service. Rather opting to fight with superior firepower, than a Hedgehog type Defence Force.

Whenever someone updates the map next, can they recolor Japan or the Chinese nation? They are a bit too similar.
EDIT: And I'm about as far from EST as one can get!

Official Name: Grand Trade Republic of the Spice Islands
Commonly Used Name(s): Spice Empire
Government Type: Democratic Republic
Current Ruling Party (if applicable): Conservatives
Capital: New Iconium(on Java)
Head of State: Doge Simon Alexia IV
Cultures: Greek 35%, Latin 31%, 24% Pacific Islander
Languages: 38% Greek, 34% Latin, 18% Other
Religions: 98% Catholic, 2%Other
Population: 70 Million
Founding Date: 1798
Date of Max Extent: Current
Location: All of the Indonesian Islands and New Guinea as well
Brief History:
The first colony founded by the Christian Empire in 1439. It grew and grew, as many native Imperials came to the Islands for a new life. After several hundred years of steady immigration the Imperial descendants are still living and thriving in peace with the natives. This was the center of much of the trade in the East, and this territory grew wealthy. In 1798, they declared their independence, being the first colony to break away from the great maritime Empire. Very wealthy and happy, this burgeoning nation has reestablished ties with the Christian Empire in friendship, but only with the Kingdom of Siam in 1870. This was to provide both military protection and bring increased wealth and trade to all three countries.
With the Empire's help it has become a great maritime power- though not as great as the Christian Empire. It is no where near as developed as the Christian Empire, but it is more advanced than Siam. Even though it does not have the wealth, education system or defenses as the Christian Empire, they are trying to develop. There has recently having trouble in New Guinea with natives.
But, As the sun rises, they say, we will also rise.

Claiming Alaska and about half of the OTL west coast Canada. This will be a nation that split off of the FEA.
Really? That is what seemed to me to be the correct one considering the possible options. Use timeanddate.com, what timezone does it tell you that you are in or use the Account Preferences, what timezone is that set to.
Also, I might be blind but I cannot find the East Asian Nation.
The forum is set to some time zone by EST (it may be EST), but I am waaay far from EST.
And the nation that encompasses most of the coast of China and all of Korea
