Explain IBWCA to me

Founded in June of 2016, Non-Profit Organisation “Independent Bloc-Wide Cartography Agency” unites and embodies all of the map struggles of The People's Republic of The Communist Bloc that came before it. Via seamless interaction of humans with algorithms, we produce the most accurate, precise, and current maps of the region.

Q&A

Q

How often is the map updated?

A

New nations are added immediately after they apply, the NS data is updated once every day at about 7:00UTC. Nations are removed from the map as soon as the NS data suggesting that they should be arrives.

Q

What are the necessary criteria for being placed on the map?

A

Your nation needs to be located in The Communist Bloc.

Q

What are the criteria for being removed from the map?

For real though

What is this?

This is a roleplay organisation that makes roleplay maps for The Communist Bloc, which is a region in NationStates.net: an online political simulator game that allows players to create and control their very own nations.
