Re: Land Move

The new law, about expansions, does not include the option for
additional expansions to be approved by Congress. Once you have
hit your max, that's it, no more. In addition when you move you
only get the amount of land you already have. You can't expand
by moving. The law was deliberately written this way to prevent
such issues as the "Great Quebec Controversy" and other such
issues as had previously cropped up in that vein.
This is the text of the current land claim law:
--- Quote ---
> Realizing: A standard unit of measurement dictating rules of
territory is needed for a society to exist in peace.
>
> Acknowledging: The right to land, sovereign in the state's
rights to own.
>
> Noting: A progression of growth is desired and shall be
governed by Congress.
>
> Congress Hereby Mandates:
> Section 1: That each State shall, upon admission to the
NeoConfederate States, be given their choice of land no larger
than 32,020 sq mi (82,931. km2) of any unclaimed land owned by
the NCSA. After the state has resided in the region for five
days from their addition to the map, they may apply for a
one-time free expansion, which is also limited to 32,020 sq mi
(82,931. km2), this is in addition to their existing territory.
A State may role play one additional expansion in addition to
its free expansion. This expansion is limited to 16,010 sq mi
(41,465.5 km2). A state may change the entirety of its claim
only once. However, the new area being moved to must be of the
same size and the state does not regain any expansions used.
>
> Section 2: All territory that is owned by a single state must
be contiguous, and may not be separated by another state,
unclaimed land, or any body of water larger than Lake Superior.
Islands, such as Hawaii, are exempt from this, but are limited
to the immediate islands in their main cluster. A state's
territory may not posses a corridor.
>
> Section 3: No land under the sovereign reign of a state shall
be annexed by another state either through claim, war, or any
other forceful means. Land may be acquired by means of peaceful
trade, not as a resolution to a war. If a state is found to have
more land than is legally acceptable, it may be taken to court
in order to settle the discrepancy. It is the responsibility of
the Prosecutor to provide evidence, via mathematical
measurements, of the accused state's land compared to the land
limit approved by law to the best of their abilities.
>
> Section 4: Congress designates the Secretary of the Interior
to approve claims, or such person as may be making the map if
there be no Secretary of the Interior. In either case such
person shall be responsible for enforcing the provisions of this
law and assuring that all approved claims meet the standards set
forth by it. Congress reserves the right to revoke any claim,
however, revocation of a claim must be taken under consideration
by Congress no later than seven (7) days after its initial
approval.
>
> Definitions:
> Lake Superior square mileage/kilometrage: 31,700 square miles
or 82,170 square kilometres
> unclaimed land: Any land on the map left blank (or white), not
colored in to denote state held territory.
> Contiguous: Touching; in contact with.
> Corridor: A thin stretch of land 3/4 longer that it is wide
that separates two states, a state and potentially claimed land,
or 2 plots of potentially claimed land.

Sparta, rules to me are rules. It does not say that I have the
legal ability to overturn or overlook a state moving. The law
clearly states that a state may change its land claim only once.
I will not break the law to suit your wants. Now, if you want to
"leave" the region (wink wink hint hint notice quotations around
leave) and apply as a state again, then I couldn't help but to
accept your claim. But you aren't a new state, are you? ;)

You do realize that if a state leaves the region long enough to
"reset" their landclaim their old one is null and void as if
they had ceased to exist and they start all over again?
