BG26^∈^⊾^ƨ - Syskipane

	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)

The country is located between 11.4 to 12.6 degrees north which means that the country has a warm tropical climate year round, the country is surrounded by a big gulf that opens into the world ocean to the west and a smaller gulf that opens into the ocean, that is cut by a tiny bit of BG25^∈^⊾^ƨ, at the east. The part far from the sea (a.k.a. central area) is located higher

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

The country is considerably small and quite a bit of flat land is used for farming while an another important chunk of the flat land and less hilly land is used for construction/building. The country is developed enough, with a gdp per capita of $16k [40k Syskipanean Cepacks(Currency of Syskipane)] and an HDI score of 0.840. Syskipane's most crowded area is basically the whole west coast. The country has some expressways, up to 4 lanes, and limited 6 lane toll roads with high speed limits. Railroad system of the country is found in the whole west coast and some other places outside

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

During the 1400's, Syskipane was used to be union of town-states called Agun situated along the central-west coast. At 1500 to 1600's, Syskipane (then called Agun) started expanding to the east, to a higher plateau still towards the west. Later in the 1600's, Agun went all the way to the central BG26 to the mountains, At 1700's Agun became Agunese Empire and took over all of BG26 and BG25. At 1800's, the country was renamed to Syskipanese (Syskipanean) Empire because the Agunese people were a minor portion of the population (Agun is the part of BG26 on the gulf coast) Also back then BG25 became a country, At the 1900's, Syskipanese Empire sold a thin sliver of all east coast for a million Cepacks. At 1933, Syskipane became a country and at 1937 it became a republic and still is today. The culture is similar to other beginnerese countries and the language spoken is Syskiphanean which has some similar words to English and Turkish.

	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.

I have mapped in the New User Practice And Demo Zone back in july-august 2025 (and requested a non-beginner country) and made a city called Helcarm. It's now deleted.

Hi, can you summarise the limitations placed on BG territories, in your own words. The request above makes me think you may not understand them. Thanks/wangi (talk) 09:42, 18 July 2026 (UTC)

I don't understand the limitations. what are the limitations? Shenzi (talk) 22:00, 18 July 2026 (UTC)

Ok, now's your opportunity to read the territory application info, so you know what you are asking for. You will need to do that before I can proceed. /wangi (talk) 23:52, 19 July 2026 (UTC)
Ok. I read it. Shenzi (talk) 00:40, 20 July 2026 (UTC)
Feels like I'm pulling teeth here: "summarise the limitations placed on BG territories, in your own words". /wangi (talk) 08:05, 20 July 2026 (UTC)
BG territories are small and made for new users and they aren't as important as other continents. And collaboration is prohibited. Shenzi (talk) 08:13, 20 July 2026 (UTC)

	Territory application approved
	Approved. Much of the request is superfluous, given beginner territories are for building up experience, and not for long-term mapping. /wangi (talk) 16:29, 21 July 2026 (UTC)
	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
