| The Territory ID (from OpenGeofiction:Territories, e.g. AR123a) and proposed name of the country |
BG04 - Lunazon
Meant to sound similar to "Luzon".
Or maybe it's too close to the real world and needs to be changed to make it sound more distinct from "Luzon".
 | Physical geography |
|---|---|
| An overview of climate, topography and landscape of the country. With the exception of Beginner territories, you should always create a sketch map to illustrate & explain your plans. You can add a link to this (hosted on imgBB, Postimages or similar, but not imgur.com) |
Mostly going to be similar to that of the Philippines, more specifically Luzon, which has mountains everywhere except for two vertical stretches of land, one of which is between Dagupan and Batangas; of which both are hopefully flat enough to build on.
 | Human geography |
|---|---|
| A brief description of the territory demographics, economic development, land occupation, infrastructure and mapping style |
Population will be around 7-ish million. The main city will be Bagong Bandila (Tagalog for "New Banner"); but it is prone to sudden change.
 | History & culture |
|---|---|
| A brief description of the intended culture and language |
First colonized by the Castellanese in 1500s; then occupied for 300 years, followed by Archantan occupation until 1946. Independence was later attained.
Again, this parallels IRL Filipino history.
 | 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. |
- My attempt at Filipino-style mapping in the New User Zone
- Lemuria, Michisaukee - but that is more American-style mapping and not really the Filipino style I want
No examples of natural mapping except maybe the Palapan Forest and the Baratanje Peninsula. Which is why I am requesting BG04 - to build up more natural mapping experience.
You may also want to see Forum:Request_help/Perfect_place_for_a_Filipino-themed_territory where I was told to get a beginner territory first before moving to a private one
