OpenGeofiction
Bloregia, Inara, Pretany, Shilesia, Utterland and Welstand-Westrijk have already started the first steps of the formation of a Northwestern Uletha Union. This is more than just a paper empire feeding. More than just a fictional agreement. This pretends to be a real agreement between users, reflected on the fictional ground of OGF, in order to share experience and work together for the development of the area. At this point, we are discussing a constitution draft. Make me know if anyone of the next countries are interested to join:
Garlis, Kalm, Ventria, Isztianorszag, Grossherzogtum Ertelden, Ionadalba, Wesmandy, Cernou, Tircambry, Nordurland, Rutstinaskunta Ylevälfivet, Vinnmark, Koban, Galicja, Lanyenja, Svedonia, Pohjolsmaa nad Vandern.

Kobáň is interested in joining. (note: I am not very active because of software issues (dead notebook at home and cannot map at work :-) ) )

Thanks for this great initiative!
Garlis, Grossherzogtum Erfeldien, Ístzianország, Kalm, and Ventria are very interested in joining.
However, I’m going to be a father in a few days and practically don’t have time for OGF at the moment. So please feel free to add “my” countries to the members list. I don’t know if you already have a capital in mind? I would love to see the NWUU capital in one of the smaller countries near the Vinn Sea (maybe even Kirchenburg?).
If you want to “de-centralise” the administrative/political/juridical/… functions (a bit like in the European Union), I offer the following cities (for any function that for some reason won’t be placed within the NWUU capital; I selected them to be all quite close to the “imaginary central point of the NWUU” and also not to be too large cities in all cases, as I think that having some smaller cities with NWUU functions is more interesting):
I wouldn’t be too sad if none of my cities will get a NWUU seat of any kind and I understand that people/countries with more current activity have an advantage here. But if there’s something you want to add in one of those city (maybe the NWUU international railway regulation authority - I’m addicted to railways), feel free to do so.
I hope you understand that currently I will be in a more “passive OGF mode”, as I will need much “family time”. :)
Kind regards

One thing that comes to my mind is: NWUU is a quite “boring” name, imho. Ever since I made up the the first part of Uletha I had the idea of an equivalent (more or less) to the EU. But “UU” seemed stupid to me. Also, Uletha is too large for such a group of states spanning over the whole continent. So later I thought that “Vinnic Union” might be good. But this seems more like an equivalent to the “Hanse”.
I still think that a more “creative” name would be nice. Maybe with some geographical references? The area of northwestern Uletha that we are talking about spans between the Vinn Sea and the surrounding states, over the Egyt mountains and eastwards to the Great Rift Sound. So the “VEG” would be a possible name (let’s to away the “U” in the abbreviaton): “Vinn-Egyts-Great Rift Sound Union”. OK, the last part is quite stupid. So how is the part of Uletha between the Egyt mountains and the Great Rift Sound called (not the country name, that’s Pretany of course). If this region has a historical name, it would be nice to include it in such a “more creative name” for the “NWUU”.
Whatever the name will be, even if the name “NWUU” is being kept - it’s OK, but I think its important to discuss this.
