	Physical geography
	An overview of climate, topography and landscape of the country. It is advised to also create a sketch, you can add a link to this (hosted on imgur or similar)

The state will be quite forested and also hilly with its maximum height being about 600-700ft. It will have many more evenly sized rivers compared to right now Oakley really just having the Grand Oak River.

The state will also have larger lakes on average then right now Oakley.

The climate would be a bit colder due to this area being more open to the ocean.

I don't know what parks have to be kept and what don't but I would keep them all as I really like their location.

	Human geography
	A brief description of the territory demographics, economic development, land occupation, infrastructure and mapping style

This part of the state would be a bit denser on the coast and less inland (mostly due to the amount of parks that I want to/have to keep).

Burton would be "revived" and become the largest city in the state.

I would also try to continue Port Mary but probably with a new name.

This area on the border would also be kept.

	History & culture
	A brief description of the intended culture and language

I really feel like it would be best to really start making history for Oakley once there is a timeline everyone agrees on.

I still like the idea of Oakley being admitted the the union around 1757 though.

	Past mapping
	To support your request provide links to areas of OGF mapping which showcase your mapping skill. Mapping relevant to the requested theme & geography is especially useful

Hi, and sorry for the delayed response.

You've gotten a good start in Oakley. The small down detailing here and there is nice. That said, things can still be worked on, such as landcover, scale in Fallport, the road system, etc.

Merging the two states could make sense lore-wise, but opportunities for future claimants interested in coastal states in the east also have to be considered. Providing a sketch could be helpful. --Fluffr Nuttr (talk) 00:00, 16 May 2024 (UTC)

I can make a sketch. Should have in the first place.

I already planned the counties.

EDIT: Note I can drop this idea also because I saw some islands also that could make for a fun side project MiniMapper (talk) 00:05, 16 May 2024 (UTC)

Ok first I looked at Fallport for smaller blocks and saw none other than a few next to the capitol building. The city is based off of Providence RI for block size and I found mien to be similar or larger in size. I cant find many spots that are smaller but where they are they are not for long. MiniMapper (talk) 00:28, 16 May 2024 (UTC)

Huh, I checked and Providence RI is just like that, my bad. --Fluffr Nuttr (talk) 02:19, 16 May 2024 (UTC)

Oh ok. I was really thinking that it was some blocks like the ones What pointed out to me in some spots that were smaller that I fixed but I mostly thought it was good sized. I saw 200-500ft on average MiniMapper (talk) 13:30, 16 May 2024 (UTC)

I tried to use Github Pages for the images and used ChatGPT just to make a quick template for some images. Actually like it but for now I have mode two images. One for populations of the counties (I already planned them), and one for this attempt map I made with Maperitive. This will bring you to it. MiniMapper (talk) 13:21, 17 May 2024 (UTC)

	Territory application closed
	You've made good process in mapping your current state since you first requested this annexation three months ago, but there's still plenty of space in your current state that can be mapped in greater detail before an annexation is warranted. If you want a larger state, we can consider a swap, but I concur with Fluffr_Nuttr that it's in the project's best interest to have more opportunities for more mappers to join the Southeast. --TheMayor (talk) 13:50, 17 May 2024 (UTC)
