Borders and Claims

Borders and Claims

Borders and Claims are a method of making it illegal for towns and nations to exist in a certain area. They are created to enforce a nation's rule over a region, remove rights from individuals and to force towns to join a nation.

Claimblocking

Claimblocking is a semi-illegal (if taken too far) method to block other nations / towns to claim into areas, this can be done by entirely surrounding the town, which is illegal because it totally blocks town's expansion. A better use is just to have large panhandles, or stretches of thin land that can even be seen in real life geography, in places like Oklahoma, Zambia, Croatia, Afghanistan, and most famously, the entire goddamn country of Chile. These are usually actually to reach geographical locations, such as rivers and water in general.

Examples of claimblocking towns are: The_Wall, Venezuela (a huge strip of land almost entirely circling their capital form 10 chunks away.)

Tiers of Enforcement

Super Heavy

These are nearly entirely fictional. No non-citizens are allowed anywhere near the border and will be chased off the border.

Heavy

Any town or nation in the area shall be declared war upon and invaded if they do not leave.

Shared

The area is shared between multiple nations, those who aren't a part of this are banned.

Nonexistent

The nation has borders, but they are not enforced.
