Location/Climate/Cities

The The Royal Gansbaai Kingdoms is located on the west coast of Africa and is south of Morocco. It is mostly arid lands being located on the far west side of the Sahara. Coastal areas receive plentiful amounts of rain, but the land gets very dry very quick due to rapid evaporation. A Mediterranean Style climate exists on the Northern coasts, but traveling inland the climate changes to arid desert very fast. Moisture here evaporates before it even hits the ground. Urban areas in the nation are Massive; with large diversions between urban and rural. The largest city is Al Aium. Other major cities are Nouadhibou, Zukuraai, Sidi-Sabi & Bir Moghrein

Conflict

The country is the most peaceful African country. This is highly due to its new formation, which sprang into existence only in 1995.

PICS

Djado Airport. Currently Nouadhibou's only airport.

Summary

I would love to put this to voting now, but you don't have a history or enough images. As soon as you've added one more picture and a history, this can go up to voting immediately.

EDIT: Voting now open, with the extra image and history posted.

Glad to see you back here Marsh. 1 more pic and a history and it goes to vote!

k then,

History: The Royal Gansbaai Kingdoms are a relatively new nation. In early 1990 the city of Nouadhibou in the disputed lands South of Morocco (West Sahara), goes into complete Anarchy, after the president of Morocco, (visiting the area on a "peace" mission) is killed by a roadside bomb. This put the entire disputed area of Western Sahara into turmoil, and is remained disputed, for a longer period of time. Later that year the conflict in Nouadhibou (&West Sahara) is resolved, and a ceasefire is issued. Problems remain in the area, such as famine and political instability.

In 1993; After much dispute over the lands in West Sahara, It was decided by the several West African countries disputed over the area, (Morocco, Algeria, Mauritania, and Mali), that citizens in the boundaries would have independence as their own country, The Royal Gansbaai Kingdoms. This new country was officially deemed a country on June 21st, 1994

In 1997, Major Oil Reserves were found in lands disputed by Morocco, The Gansbaai Kingdoms, Mauritania, Algeria, Mali, and Songhai. The lands were originally disputed over Political issues and "Power". This gave even more reasons to want the area. Tensions between the countries grew over the years.

Recently in late 2008, the disputed lands were given to Gansbaai. The revenue from the oil soon made the population of Gansbaai skyrocket, and Almost every major city in the country is a commercial epi-center.

The Future... Gansbaai is looking for new land acquisitions. One is Antarctica, were it wishes to set up a research facility, and also is starting to fund a space program.

Finaly... pic.

Is this a good enough one?

I think that does it. Thomas, will you put up a poll?

wow! looks even better than last time! Love the Crescent!

I always like this CJ/MD! A yes from me.

Looks awesome!

Just one quick note about your airports. You always need to designate a number, which is based on a compass heading. You only need to designate L,C or R if there is more than one parallel runway. So, at Djado, you should remove the "C". At the second airport you have shown, you need to add a heading designator.

Apart from that, the airports look really, really, really good.

As you have provided the extra picture and a history, you have fulfilled the checklist and I have opened this application to voting.

Voted YES.

Also, I agree with Dan, number your runways.

Voted YES.

voted yes.

Yes, all the way!

Glad to see you back marsh, I vote YES

i voted YES!! Love Gansbaai! Escambia can't wait to see you back

Yes! Yes! Yes!

Voted YES

OWW OWW!!! yes

Thank you for noticing that Nate. I will close the thread now, until 1st October, when it will be re-opened. I won't take down the votes though.

(And it's a yes from me, btw)

As Gansbaai has received enough votes for readmission, I move that it be automatically readmitted on October 1.

Gansbaai is now officially readmitted into AIN. With 12 to 0 in favor

Whoo!

Welcome back marsh, glad to see Gansbaai back here

Welcome back marsh!
