Is the white line the French-Helvetian border?
Should/could Saugeais or Grand Fenwick be added to the map, depending on where exactly they are located?

- Yes, but it's also the border with Italy. Given that I don't know the actual geographic location of Saugeais or GF, I'll leave that to someone else to do. If it does, indeed fit in the realm of this map, please denote them like the borders of the other nations. BoArthur 21:24, 1 December 2008 (UTC)
- OK, after spending some time on Google Maps I can see where this is (France, Helvetia, and Italy all coming together). The World map shows G.Fenwick in the Geneva metro area, but IMHO this would actually be a better place for it. It's a bit off-topic to the French Stalemate, however.

- Geneva is just above the center-top of the map, where you can see the name "Annemasse" (beautiful little town, btw). When you say "this would actually be a better place for it," what did you have in mind? And it's not really off topic -- it refers to the map. :D BoArthur 21:24, 1 December 2008 (UTC)
- All righty... I just think that GF works better in a more out-of-the-way place, not so clearly in the shadow of a major city. (AIUI, Helvetia's inner geography is more or less the same as Switzerland *here*, just in a different language.) Somewhere along the north-south running border that begins in Italy and heads upward. Seth is the caretaker of GF; maybe he can tell us where the place is :). Benkarnell 23:20, 1 December 2008 (UTC)
- In my mind, Grand Fenwick always correlated with Pointe Rousse des Chambres (in the and the surrounding area. This would explain them having treaties with Helvetia, France and Italy, be a wine producer, and being a slightly popular B&B (probably for Geneva...) Seth 07:11, 4 December 2008 (UTC)
- Can't be too popular, or the B&B guests could quite easily cause the country to fill beyond legal capacity - not enough fire escapes. I'm sure there are signs reading, "Grand Fenwick is closed." Benkarnell 17:46, 4 December 2008 (UTC)
