Geographical Extent of the Domination of Eiler The Declaration of Domination provides for full control of the North Eileranian landmass by the Domination of Eiler. However, it is Domination policy to only lay formal claim to those areas which Domination forces have patrolled. The old ways of conquest are still the best. The Domination of Eiler is defined as the portion of the universe where the Domination forces has established their control in person. This is currently confined to the surface and airspace of the planet Earth, and there are no plans at present to escape this confinement. However, there are continuous plans to increase the Domination's control over Earth's surface. The Domination establishes its control in many ways. On the geographic level, the Domination establishes control the same way all animal species do: by pissing there. The Domination leadership hereby honors its animal citizens by observing this time-honored method of marking its boundaries. The Domination of Eiler has several levels of control. 1. The Domination of Eiler is centered on EilerBases. The current EilerBase and Domination World Headquarters is in Nashville-Tennessee. Previous EilerBases have been established in the Massachusetts towns of Shrewsbury, Douglas, Marlborough, Sudbury, Newton, and Hudson, the Illinois towns of Schaumburg and Palatine, and Lansing-Michigan. 2. The Infantry Domination of Eiler consists of those areas which Domination infantry may reach when fielded directly from a permanent EilerBase. 2a. The Infantry Domination can claim territories in Shrewsbury and Douglas, Massachusetts. 2b. The Domination of Eiler is not currently interested in conquest by infantry forces. The Domination currently considers its cavalry to be the ideal means of conquest. 3. The Cavalry Domination of Eiler is the Core Territory of the Domination. It consists of those areas which Domination cavalry may reach via manually-powered vehicles fielded from an EilerBase. The vehicle of choice is the bicycle. The Domination has used such vehicles to assume control of territories in New England, Illinois and Michigan. 3a. The New England Core Territories take up parts of the United States subdivisions of Massachusetts (MA), Connecticut (CT), and Rhode Island (RI). Its boundaries roughly follow the line Boston (MA) - Hudson (MA) - Worcester (MA) - Woodstock (CT) - Woonsocket (RI) - Milford (MA) - Boston. 3b. The Illinois Core Territories roughly correspond to the six northwestern townships of Cook County (Illinois, or IL) as far east as the Des Plaines River, and roughly five miles into each surrounding county as far west as the Fox River. 3c. The Michigan Core Territories extend through Lansing and East Lansing and all neighboring areas. 3d. The Tennessee Core Territories roughly correspond to the downtown, North, East, and West End districts of the city of Nashville. 3e. Washington Core Territories are Bothell-Washington and nearby communities. 3f. The Core Territories in which the Dominator currently resides, are referred to as the District of Dominance. 4. The Cavalry Dominations have often extended their range by establishing temporary EilerBases in hotels along lines of march. Territories so conquered are not considered Core Territory of the Domination; these are considered the Extended Core Territories of Eiler. 4a. The New England Extended Core Territories extends its Core Territories along a line from Quinebaug (CT) - Westerly (RI) - Block Island (RI) - Newport (RI) - Fall River (MA) - Woonsocket (RI). 4b. The Illinois Extended Core Territories extends its Core Territories in lines of march roughly three miles wide, from the edges of the Core Territories as follows: 4b1. From Elgin southward along the Fox River, as far as Batavia, Illinois. 4b2. From Crystal Lake northward roughly along the Fox River, as far as McHenry, Illinois and the Moraine Hills State Park. 4b3. From Prospect Heights, Illinois east-by-northeast as far as the closest shore of Lake Michigan. 4b4. From Des Plaines, Illinois southeast into Chicago, as far as the end of the public beach on the south side. 5. The Armor Domination of Eiler consists of those areas where the Domination has taken control via metal-shelled internal-combustion surface-travel vehicles, either under its own command or under contract to it. (That is to say, the Domination's automobiles, and public train and ferry services.) That area now crosses of North America, with boundaries roughly following the line Tampa (Florida) - Atlanta (Georgia) - Tupelo (Mississippi) - Saint Louis (Missouri) - Minneapolis (Minnesota) - Marquette (Michigan) - Moosonee (Ontario) - Goose Bay (Labrador). A line west of Minneapolis is also conquered, as far as the Pacific Ocean from Astoria-Oregon to Ketchikan-Alaska. 5a. Some areas, such as Saint Louis (Missouri), have been occupied by combined arms of the Domination, wherein an Armored carrier would transport a Cavalry vehicle to a staging area (such as East St. Louis-Illinois). These areas are considered part of the Armor Domination. 5b. The boundaries stated above are approximate. There are exceptions, such as Chibougamou (Quebec). These are considered projects of future expansion, but not given high priority. 5c. Some lands within the boundaries stated above, have been surrounded or otherwise cut off, but not yet occupied by the Domination. These are considered projects of future expansion, with particular interest in Gaspe (Quebec) and St. Johns (Newfoundland). 6. The Aerial Domination of Eiler consists of all areas of Earth's surface where the Domination has taken control by means of airplane travel. The Aerial Domination has outposts on all sides of the Armored Domination, particularly in Florida, Alabama, Louisiana, Texas, New Mexico, California, Washington-State, Nunavut, Greenland, England, France, Germany, Bermuda, and Brazil. 6a. The Aerial Domination outposts have been expanded by Domination-vendor Armored forces, as in Germany where the Aerial Domination extends roughly along the lines Berlin - Frankfurt - Munich. 6b. The Aerial Domination outposts have been expanded by Domination-vendor Cavalry forces, as in San Francisco (California). 6c. Sometimes the Domination uses airborne troops to reinforce its control within the Armored Domination, as in trips between Illinois and New England EilerBases. 7. The Domination of Eiler has ancient claim to territories as far south as Florida and as far west as Colorado. The Domination refers to these as the Ancestral Territories. 7a. The claims involve visits via surface transportation, by what would become the Domination leadership, but predate the independence of the Domination of Eiler. 7b. The Domination of Eiler is content to let the Ancestral Territories lay outside its borders, until the Domination officially establishes its control via the above means.
