AR120-05 - Ponquin

	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)

My overall plan stays the same as before, and as it is now. The southwest corner would be hilly with some higher peaks and lakes, marshes, and ponds intermixed. Perhaps the central Appalachian area or the Lakes region of New Hampshire are good inspiration for this. The area North of FS-1 and Anne Abbey is mostly rural and wet, with some hillier areas. The Costal area will be similar to various parts of the coast between Wilmington, NC and northern New Jersey. Then lastly, the central area will be rural with mixed in smaller urban areas, most similar to parts of Virginia and the Delmarva peninsula.

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

Ponquin is a thriving small state with a decent population for its smaller size. For its entire history, Ponquin's economy has been largely centered around its coastline and various industrial cities. Ponquin's position between Stanton and Huntington make it a strategic hub in the nation for businesses old and new to thrive. In terms of infrastructure, the current interstate layout will remain relatively the same as to what it currently is, i may tweak a few things and some parts are going to need to be renumbered. The costal areas are much denser and there isn't too much space that isn't developed and the further west you go it is more open and wilder with not a lot of development, except the Gibson area. Overall the state will be influenced by Mid-Atlantic and Appalachian infrastructure.

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

For this section I am copy and pasting what I put on my original application 2 years ago as my

The state was originally settled in the 17th century by Ingerish settlers. During the revolutionary war, Ponquin was instrumental because of it's mass production of firearms. After the civil war some of the state's major industries began leaving the state for bigger, more attractive states. Today, the state is still home to a few of these industries but not many, instead being replaced by new high-tech industry.

During the 1800's many Schwaldian and Slavonians immigrated to the state to work in the state's many factories, today they have a large influence on the state's culture.

Ponquin's primary language is Ingerish like most of the country however, Schwaldian is a very common second language.

	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.
	The {{coord}}, {{node}}, {{relation}} or {{scalehelper}} templates can optionally be used to link to the OGF map - they result in nicely formatted links. Or you can paste in a URL.

As the previous owner of AR120-05 most of the mapping there is already mine. Specifically, everything south of the Bluegill River. I have also worked on various other projects over the years including but not limited to:

Hackney, MC - A medium sized industrial town

Westchester, MC A small farm town

Elliston, MC A smaller mountain town

It appears that much else of my previous work has been either deleted from many years ago or has changed too much to call it my own, including in AR120-28 Prince James had originally been a good-sized urban town I made during a trial period as a state owner, but it has changed too much for me to claim as my own.
