Subject: [FH] Another NAC breakaway and world maps

G'day guys,

With the recent turn of events in Gibraltar, who's cooking up the next
NAC
(or may be that should be FSE) break away group - Independent Gibraltar?
;)

You can imagine their Defence force's motto now... along the lines of a
rock
and a hard place ;)

By the way if anyone's interested I've had a crack at getting a map with
the
coastlines as they will be about 2190. Actually I have a few versions...

1) 2m change scenario = as of today minus Pacific Atolls - most likely
case
based on current projections, but ice cover is going faster than we
though
so that may well change.
2) 5m change scenario = lose Indian and Pacific islands, delta lands go
under (mouth of Nile, Amazon, Negro, Niger etc etc) so like today but
with
bites out of it (just so happens those bites coincide with major
population
centres, especially in the 3rd world so there is a conflict trigger for
you)
- about 1-in-100 chance at present
3) 85m change scenario (i.e. ice caps go completely) = very interesting
change, with south America and Siberia turning into archipelagos,
Australia
and America getting an inland sea, Florida disappearing etc etc.
Exceptionally unlikely and if it occurred I seriously doubt you'd see
the
stability and technological advances of the GZGverse... the Kra'Vak
would be
the least of our worries! But good for a chuckle ;)

They're not great in resolution, about 1/3 of a page in size, but they
do OK
for global GZG maps ;)

I do intend on getting this up on the web eventually, but its unlikely
to
happen before early January given work commitments, so if anyone wants a
copy drop me a line at beth.fulton@csiro.au and tell me what file type
you'd
like.

Cheers

Beth
