Well, it is the Torphan border but Tanimbar isn't sure the Torphan's border is right up against us.  Because of Torphan's policy of isolation, Tanimbar doesn't have a accurate map of the Torphan border because no major contact has ever been made with Torphan on that border.  That border was established as a "this is what we can control" sort of thing.  I may be wrong.  I wasn't playing (obviously) when Tanimbar was created, so I may have it wrong.  Please feel free to correct my error if there is one.  Doug

  Indeed, as Master Sun Tzu said, "In death ground, fight."

By the way, which border are you pushing them towards? I've been
assuming Torphan, but you might have other plans. Whichever border,
your relations with whomever's on the other side will take a hit.
