Majority of the state would be fields with very little woodland even in the south. The south would have more forest to scale from the rest of the state but it would still have many gaps in it. The current mapping there gives an idea to how it would look.
Many rivers would flow to the west into the unnamed river. Some water around Eriksburg would flow directly to Lake Leighton via Zakahigan though.
The Gaudette Lakes are in a place that does not make a lot of sense in terms of geology so they would be moved south.
Temperatures would be similar to Indiana or Illinois.

| A brief description of the territory demographics, economic development, land occupation, infrastructure and mapping style |
The entire state's population could be around 2.9 million with a GDP of almost $200 billion.
Unlike Indiana the population will be spread across many smaller cities instead of one huge one. Most people would also be on the edges of the state
Eriksburg, the largest city with 500k people, would have lots of manufacturing and also be a hub for exporting goods to the rest of the state.
The second largest city with 100k people would be Springifeld with not too much to note about it other than it being an agricultural center for the area with a large cargo station to export most things.
The third largest city and also capital of the state Virestrom would have only 80k people. It would have been a historical city for the state and in general it's one of the richest cities in the state with most jobs there being office or management related. A few good sized brands may take headquarters there.
Most industries in the state would be agriculture, manufacturing, or oil mining. There are, of course, other industries but they are not nearly as prominent as those three.
Mishota would closely follow the administrative hierarchy of Michigan with Counties, Townships, Cities, and Villages (cities are separate from townships with villages are not). Townships would also be 36 square miles.
Most likely the state has had a slow in growth if not a complete halt over the past 30-40 years as most people leave for better job opportunities in places like Lake City or Wallawaukee.
The state would lack almost any form of city or port on Lake Seneppi relying mostly on rail for most things because of horrible road conditions.

 | History & culture |
|---|---|
| A brief description of the intended culture and language |
Based on the states around it there would most likely be many subgroups of Ojibwe originally in the state. The name “Mishota” could have an unknown origin as it sounds plausible to have roots in an Ojibwe language/sublanguage.
Historically the region could have undergone Vallonese occupation in the past influencing place names to have their origins in French. It would have been admitted to the union in 1815 (open to change) and have been occupied mostly through freight railways, still very present in the state. PLSS surveys would have taken place making the rural areas look similar to what you’d see in the midwestern US, especially the states of Illinois and Indiana.
 | 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}} template can optionally be used to link to the OGF map - it results in a nice formatted link. Or you can paste in a URL. |
Places made for the application:
Gonwild (though older still somewhat holds up to the theme if I just remove some forests)
Unnamed Township (I plan to finish this over the duration of the application instead of waiting to apply once completing it due to it being more rural mapping with an even smaller town)
Places I made in Oakley:
Howwe (New Bridge was made by what with small additions I made)

As said above this is an exchange for Oakley and I cant state enough that I wont step out of this (I hate myself for doing that). If you want to you can impose some sort of restriction for me to not exchange again if your worried I just want to be in a familiar theme instead of being part of three things in a theme that I have never seen in my life. I am still part of NC and Eustacia so i am not just leaving the East Coast as a whole. MiniMapper (talk) 23:11, 29 January 2025 (UTC)
