Forum:Territory application/Expansion of Demirhan Empire (UL07a) to UL07c/d in exchange of Dregovine (UL15k)

Forums → Territory application → Territory application/Expansion of Demirhan Empire (UL07a) to UL07c/d in exchange of Dregovine (UL15k)

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

I would like to exchange Dregovine (UL15k^∈^⊾) in favour of Demirhan Empire (UL07a^∈^⊾) expansion to UL07c^∈^⊾ and UL07d^∈^⊾

	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)

I want to finish already existing geological structures already on the border, that means two mountain chains and a desert. Access to Mesembric Sea is also important as it would allow me mapping transition from cold desert climate in the north to forested and relatively warm and wet areas near the coast.

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

Two main cities include Dağezan and Kanunname, both located on the coast. I think it is logical choice, helping to justify Ardeşehir size - Dağezan - Tarsınar - Ardeşehir would naturally create important antique and medieval trade route between Mesebric and Iviran Seas. Other important city is Koşangar, historic capital of Yuğut Khanates. The area aquired in UL07c is supposed to be relatively densely populated (density > 100 ppl/km^2), especially near the seas. In areas more inland human settlements will be located mostly along river valleys. The same applies for a panhandle in former Naphon which is supposed to be relatively dry.

Estimated total population of the aquired land should be around 10-12 million.

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

Long ago Aryan (Persian) Empire existed on these lands. Later, during Turkic migration phase (~10th century) Yughut (Uzbek) invasion happened. They came, they saw, they conquered. Yughut Khaganate however was later, in early 16th century conquered by more successful Demirhan Empire.

As all the cultures except one have direct real world base, let's focus on Ashani people. Ashanis speak constructed language which is mostly based on Persian with loanwords from Arabic, Uzbek and Turkish languages, with unique substrate lower than 5% (at least at current stage of conlang development). The language is written using Latin alphabet (unlike Persian).

	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.

	Territory application approved
	Experienced and consistent user, approved. ⸺ Bixelkoven (talk) (West Uletha Admin) 21:05, 4 September 2024 (UTC)
	Careful with population densities and vegetation. The area is supposed to be mediterranean dry, but the nature cover in northwestern Alora alludes perhaps higher degrees of 'dryness'. It's good to discuss that with your new neighbor.
