As far as I know there is no deadline and it doesn't matter what your mapping skills are. Jump right in and have a go!

If both deadline and mapping skill are not to matter (too much, at least), I'll take #16.
Might be an Island Kingdom, or two? Depends on how I decide their connection to the rest of the world was/is... being this far separated from the main country certainly has its effects.
Of course, I never like to be left outside of the fun stuff so still count me in.
I'm not sure between those 2 options: either gives me the last part to make it challenging or if I have to chose, it will be either 1 or 25. I'm looking forward to do a desolate land: either a death vale govern by undead or a border land with the evil kingdom land just beside it ...
So many ideas and projects. hi hi hi ...
I think a tyrant-like kingdom would be fun to create too .
Take care all and C-U at the drawing table,
Alu.
Let my fangs find your neck, during the night, so that I can drink your knowledge ...

Terrainmonkey and hans_worst I second what Ravs and Neon have said.
Baziron and Alucard great to have you onboard. Have a look around the map, see who your neighbours are and discuss shared features with them just so everyone understand what those near them have in mind. Alucard, which is it going to be?
Terrainmaonkey, we havn't got a mastermind working on backstory, races, history cultures etc. and I dont think thats the aim here. We want the process to be a bit more organic although thematic suggestions are great to spark something in the mind of the individual mappers, as has been done in this thread by Venardhi.
Neon you got thpse areas man, although I think closer inspectin will reveal thousands of tiny atolls and island chains that require intricate mapping.

I'll take the rich, untouched by the plague, western part of the coastal nation: Arkon (Number 11.) We could make a nice split in the nation. The western part ignoring the cries for help and horrible stories about the plague for the east. While the east (ravells part), which is closer to the trouble, is gathering more and more troops to deal with the problems on their eastern border. The western power see their change to increase their power in the country.
Without a background no map, right?
Spare a thought for the Groamings who live most of their lives under the constant spectre of the plague and have even built great barrier walls and fortresses along their Eastern frontiers in a vain attempt to keep it out.
But those frontiers are long overrun by the unclean and unwanted who even now gaze ever Westward from those dark musty towers and seek the clean air and water of the plains and the healing sea air beyond.

damn.. i go to a con, and everything is taken...
Ok I'll go with 15!
Got to have someone covering the plauge touched lands of death.
The pen is truly mightier then the sword, for with one quick stroke, a pen can kill your drawing; but the sword takes a couple hits before you drop it into negitive HP.
Welcome Kagehito, great to have you on board the project. 15 is yours.
To answer some of you questions on the other thread:
Stylstically you have a free rein but will need to use the basic map provided. There is as yet no entrenched backstory, but I really like your historical overview becasue it gels with mine (i'm 13). We still need someone to do 14 though, but interest seems to be growing quickly so I dont think we'll have a problem. the plague seems to be moving Westwards from you to me, so if you have anymore ideas that may impact on what I do in 13 let me know. I hvan't started mapping yet, but its coming together in my head.

My thoughts on the racial groups (as I view them as that more-so than individual nations).
SHERGAL: The Shergal peoples would closely resemble the Norse cultures, both in physical looks as well as cultural views. The Harsh northern regions and rugged coastlines would be reflected in their world views.
AKRON: These peoples would be like the Western Germanic peoples Mixed with the Spanish and some Mediteranian like the Greeks, Minoans and such.
ORVAELOS: I see these peoples as closely resembling the Arabian Cultures. Think Sinbad, and Ali Babba and the rest.
LINGEMERD: Here we have the Slavick peoples of the Russian Steppes.
BRINSMERD: The Mongols of our World. A harsh land of steppes, scrubland, vast forrests and harsh living.
GROAM: A dying people, in the midst of the plague lands, they are fast losing their cultural identity as they forsake their current beliefs searching for an explanation to the crisis besetting them.
THOUGHTS?
