	Physical geography
	An overview of climate, topography and landscape of the country. It is advised to also create a sketch, you can add a link to this (hosted on imgBB, Postimages or similar, but not imgur.com)

The country is located in a tropical region, characterized by consistently warm temperatures throughout the year and high levels of humidity. Rainfall is abundant, with a distinct wet season and a shorter dry season, supporting a variety of natural ecosystems. The terrain includes low-lying coastal plains that extend from the shoreline inland, interspersed with rivers, small lakes, and wetlands. Inland areas gradually rise into gently rolling hills and modest highlands, providing variation in elevation without extreme mountains. Vegetation is dense and diverse, ranging from mangroves and coastal scrub near the shore to tropical forests and grasslands further inland. The combination of flat coastal areas, accessible waterways, and elevated interior land creates a landscape suitable for both settlements and agriculture. Periodic tropical storms may affect the region, but overall the climate and topography support a stable, lush environment.

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

The territory has a moderate population density, with most residents living in small towns or along the coastal plains, while the interior hills are more sparsely populated. The economy is primarily based on agriculture, fishing, and small-scale trade, with some localized services and emerging industries in larger settlements. Land use is a mix of residential areas, farmland, managed forests, and natural preserves, reflecting a balance between human activity and natural ecosystems. Infrastructure includes a network of roads connecting towns and villages, small ports along the coast, and basic utilities such as electricity and water services concentrated in populated areas. Mapping style emphasizes clearly defined settlements, transport routes, natural features, and administrative boundaries, providing an organized and practical representation of the territory.

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

The territory’s culture is influenced by Latin American Spanish traditions, blended with local tropical adaptations and English-speaking influences from historical trade and regional interaction. Communities often center around agriculture, fishing, and small-scale commerce, with social life featuring markets, festivals, and communal gatherings that reflect both Spanish cultural heritage and local customs. Spanish and English are recognized as official languages, used in education, government, and daily communication. Variations in dialects and cultural practices exist between settlements, reflecting geographic diversity and historical development..
