TA216^∈⊾ - Atwileland

	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 imgur or similar)

Far north Atwileland would be a tropical desert (BWh), before blending into a savannah (Aw). South of the savannah would be a long stretch of mountains, acting as a rain shadow. This mountain range would connect to the mountain range in Raqar, most likely going through northern TA252. South of the mountain range would be a tropical rainforest (Af). Areas north of Atwileland range between 600 ~ 800m altitude, and areas south of Atwileland range between 900 ~ 1200m altitude.

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

The main demographic in Atwileland would be Atwileian, analogous of ethnic groups in Western Africa such as Nigerian and Ghanaian. There are also [Dutch] and Ingerish ethnic groups as minorities. Atwile-Ingerish and Atwile-[Dutch] communities are also prevalent.

Atwileland is centred around its main capital, Atwoba, which will have a metropolitan area population of around 12 million people. However, the next largest metropolitan areas will have populations of about 100-200k, an example of the drastic differences in Atwoba compared to the rest of the country. The total country will have a population of 17 ~ 23 million people. Atwoba would have motorways running throughout the city, two of which would extend outside of the city to connect the second, third and fourth largest towns of Atwileland. Three motorways would connect to other nations/territories. Connections between other towns would most likely be by plane or by low maintenance secondary roads.

People in rural areas would be significantly poorer than in urban areas, and land usage in rural areas would mainly be allocated to agriculture. However, economy in rural areas is slowly improving due to the newly developed rural bus systems to the cities.

The mapping style I will use for Atwileland would most likely resemble Kenyan or South African cities and towns.

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

The culture and languages of Atwileland are built on creoles between English, Dutch and the native language in the area. Akan is situated in the north, speakers of Igbo are mainly from the west and southwest, and Yoruba speakers are from the rest of the nation. Since there is much diversity in the languages spoken in Atwileland, the main lingua franca is English.

	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.
