Nation-The Royal Urchin
Discord Name-CongoJoJo#3197
About my nation-The Royal Urchin was founded on December 28th, 1299 by our national hero Archibald McMan. Originally untouched by man, The Royal Urchin was a beautiful tropical island with clear waters, beautiful fauna, and exotic wildlife. Until the founders arrived. The founders were a group of slaves, led by Archibald McMan, that rebelled against the pirate slavers that enslaved them. The battle was lost though, as they were outnumbered and out gunned. They were thrown into the cold dark waters of the night, left to drown alone. But not all was lost! Many had washed ashore an Island. And on this island, they could start a new. Through Archibald's leadership and guidance, they built the foundation of what the Urchin is today. To read more about The Royal Urchin, check out these links.
Not to the Claims
I would like this whole piece of land. I understand though that this option may not be available, as this could be considered for two nations. If I can't have all this land, I have picked a backup. Edit 1- I have removed my previous claim and would like this island instead.

Behind The Urchin-The Story of our nations name.
Archibald McMan, the glorious founder of our nation, saved a group of slaves and washed ashore a deserted tropical island. That island would eventually become the great nation of The Royal Urchin. Those people would become the settlers of our nation and Archibald, their leader.
But what is the story behind the Royal Urchin?
For the founders of our nation, finding food was no easy task. They were in no condition to take on the harsh and uncharted environment that surrounded them. They went days, weeks even, without food. That is until Archibald McMan found a cove filled with Sea Urchins. Enough Urchins to feed our original settlers for years and years to come.
The Urchins our people ate gave them the fuel, energy, and hope to gather their strength and build up our glorious nation. The first Urchin eaten, by Archibald McMan, has been preserved and is on display in our nations capital. That is the first urchin, The Royal Urchin. To honor the gift the first urchin had given to us, we became The Free Land of The Royal Urchin.

The Royal Urchin, a beautiful island nation. Sandy beaches, clear waters, blue skies, a cool breeze, beautiful nature, stunning wild life, one could say it's paradise.
But, how was this beautiful country founded?
Archibald McMan was a spry young man. Born somewhere on the continent of Aura on September twenty eighth, 1225. Little is known about his life on Aura, as he was a very secretive man. On his eighteenth birthday, he and a group of friends had boarded a merchants vessel. They'd had hoped that they could travel the world and see beautiful things. And for awhile, they did. Archibald and his friends visited countless nations and encountered many new faces. He went wherever the wind would take him.
One night though, when staying in a small newly founded country, Archibald decided to go on a walk. As he walked in the dark, cold, and dead night. He had felt a strange feeling. Like he wasn't alone. Like he was being watched. Like he was being, hunted. By the time he figured it out, he was too late.
BONK
Archibald was hit on the back of his head, knocking him out instantly. When he woke up, he was once again on the vast open sea. Though this time, instead of being with his friends, he was being held by a group of pirates. He wasn't alone though, there were countless others just like him, Who had been stolen, taken from their friends, who had been kidnapped in their own homes, who had been terrified for their lives.
So, the pirates put Archibald to work. So silently he worked. He hadn't known how long it was. It could have been days, weeks, months, years even. He just worked, but as he worked, he watched silently. Like an Owl in the night. Slowly he learned all about their operation. Where the pirates sold slaves, where they bought and sold cargo, what their hierarchy was. Archibald was smart, charismatic too.
Over time, he formed a plan. He gained the trusts of his fellow slaves and started a movement. They would overpower the pirates and take the ship. On the night of their operation, the night where they were to gain their freedom, tragedy struck.
A rat in their ranks. Somebody had told the pirates all about Archibald's plan. In response, the pirates threw the slaves overboard. Into the cold dark waters of the night. Archibald was rendered unconscious in all the commotion.
By the time he came around, he found himself washed up on a deserted tropical island. Though, he wouldn't let this tear him down. In fact, it was a new beginning. Quickly he gathered himself and his thoughts. He ran around the island, looking for anyone else who may have washed up on the shore. Gathering any survivors he could, saving many people in the process.
Because of his ability to stay calm and collected in tough spots, his ability to lead, and his charisma. Archibald was able to lay down the foundations of what The Royal Urchin is today.
Archibald McMan passed away on December 28th, 1299. Just days after The Royal Urchin was officially founded as an Island Nation on December 26th 1899. Because of Archibald's strength and sacrifices, The Royal Urchin is as successful as it is today.
Archibald story is told from a collection of writings, stories, pictures, and more collected from the Citizens of the Royal Urchin

I, The Royal Urchin, swear that I have, to the best of my knowledge, been completely truthful in applying for citizenship in The West Pacific and that I have no other NationStates identity that has not been made known in this application. I swear my allegiance to The West Pacific and its citizens, and I swear not to engage in hostilities against The West Pacific or to violate The Manners of Governance, or any laws made pursuant to it.
I would like this whole piece of land. I understand though that this option may not be available, as this could be considered for two nations. If I can't have all this land, I have picked a backup.
Edit 1- I have removed my previous claim and would like this island instead.

Hey that's okay, that's why I had a backup claim. I removed my claim on the conflicting island so you can keep it and the cartographers could have less confusion.
