Strathae government buys billboards and ads throughout Europe asking Christians to claim compensation from fund

The Strathae government launched their Europe wide campaign focused on nations with the highest numbers of Christian expats who have come to Strathae to work or live and study to get them to claim compensation funds of €42,300 that may be due to them for persecution during the Blairite years. The government ad campaign is to be focused on public transports , billboards at key transport centres and key leisure spots as well as adverts on bus stops and at train stations. The ad will have the slogan Sorry for Blair package as the logo with the line "Christian? Been inStrathae more than 6 months in last 20 years? APPLY NOW for your 42,300 Euros in compensation." . This is the first step in a campaign to get those who have missed out due to bank accounts and addresses changing since last contact with the Strathae government.

The government said in a statement "Still too many Christians persacuted under Blair haven't got their rightful compensation we have put in a fund for them to claim. We therefore have took the step to have adverts in key places to get their attention to claim what is rightfully theirs and not miss out. We will not cease advertisements until we are sure that everyone who is owed money has received their compensation for that dark time in our recent history." The adverts will all be in the local langauges.

Map Update Progress Post Thing

Don't mind me just casually stealing Spain's thread to highlight the WIP Unofficially-Official project to update the EU Map. All plot numbers correspond to an occupied plot, or one I thought deserved a direct analog. If you are not in any way represented on the new map DM me here or on discord and I'll get it sorted.

UPDATES:

Snapshot 1 - Random changes that I can't remember
Snapshot 2 - Random changes that I can't remember
Snapshot 3 - North America Update, South America and Carribean got some love too.

Timeline Goals

• Mid-June: Borders/Main Landmasses to be finalized
• Mid July: Topography to be finalized
• End of July: Ecoregions/Climate Maps Done
• Beginning of August: Resource Map Done ~Maybe Vote to Activate Map~
• By End of October: Official release/community vote

*Why the jump between August and November? I'm moving! To where its a surprise! Some of you may be incredible jealous once I announce it!

FAQ:

Can I make requests?: Yes. Does not mean I will promise anything however. DM them to me in discord or on the forums, if on discord pin the request in our chat pleae.

Are resources going to stay the same?: Sorta, there's going to be three resource maps. One for oil/gas, one for minerals, and one for freshwater/logging/arable land. I'm using RL datasets to kinda plot out how things will go. If you lose something most likely you will gain something new.

Why are you doing this?: For no reason than I got bored during Christmas, and then I realized how much I hate the shape of the current EU that is all.

Can we switch plots?: No.

If I have more questions?: DM Me on discord or here.
