Please fill in the information below to make a territory request.

	Territory ID and proposed name
	The Territory ID (from OpenGeofiction:Territories, e.g. AR123a) and proposed name of the country

BG25

	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)

Some atolls based on the Maldives and other countries in Oceania, check what I have written below.

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

Mapping style and infrastructure would be similar to the Maldives, Marshall Islands and other oceanian countries.

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

Oceanic/Austronesian culture, language being Marshallese.

	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.

	Username & date
	Sign and date the application by typing four tildes (~~~~) without spaces or "nowiki" tags.

Additionally, I want to point out that my intent is to map atolls to build my mapping portfolio for a later territory application. To do this, I will need to shrink BG25's land area so I have enough space for them, if that is okay. I do not intend my mapping to be later moved. Angeldeshkov (talk) 16:45, 12 April 2026 (UTC)
- I have approved, but I need you to clarify: "I do not intend my mapping to be later moved" - ultimately the mapping will need to be moved to a territory, or be deleted. There are no other options. I have also made edits to the land area, please be sure to not delete the was:natural=coastline polygon. Thanks/wangi (talk) 22:30, 12 April 2026 (UTC)

	Territory application approved
	Approved, reminder that BG territories are for building up experience, not for long-term mapping. Thanks/wangi (talk)
	As you develop your territory, be sure to keep it realistic. Here are some resources you may find useful for starting out: Help:Portal, Help:Making realistic countries, Help:Making realistic cities and OpenGeofiction:Site policies
