CLIMATE - Alright so my country will have a tropical and a desert climate with average temperatures ranging between 21-29 degrees celsius. It will get drier as we go down to the coast.
TOPOGRAPHY AND LANDSCAPE - The country will have 4 layers of elevation. Lowest layer will be coastal layer. Next is an area with 400m sea level. Above that is 900m and the top is around 1400m. there will be some mountains in the middle of layers asw. The top will be more rainy but the bottom will be rather dry.

| A brief description of the territory demographics, economic development, land occupation, infrastructure and mapping style |
DEMOGRAPHICS - It's population is still yet to be determined because I might be busy with some stuff so it might end up being much less than my goal. 1 million people per year seems like a good goal.
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT - Alright
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT: Wealth - It's going to be a rather poor place (gdp/capita: $17k-$18k)
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT: HDI - its HDI is going to be very high (0.840)
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT: Economy - It will get a lot of wealth from industries because this country has a lot of industry baby. And a little bit from agriculture and stuff.
LAND OCCUPATION - I don't want the country to have biiiiig big chunks of nothing. I'll try to fill it.
INFRASTRUCTURE - I'd say its good
INFRASTRUCTURE: Buildings - It will look like Turkish buildings but the desert areas will be more different (poorer)
INFRASTRUCTURE: Roads - Smaller freeways will be built at the start. Later the bigger ones will come.
INFRASTRUCTURE: Railways - It probably won't get to every city but it will get to most.
INFRASTRUCTURE: Sea - Sea ports will be a significant trading place for Scophenia. It will also be used in public transport.
INFRASTRUCTURE: Air - There will be airports for some cities. Some other cities will have their airports merged with another cities airports because they are really close to eachother (regional).
MAPPING STYLE - Probably like any other country ig.

LANGUAGE: Scophenian. Inspired a little from Turkish and English. Uses ℸ ̣⍑¦ᓭ alphabet.
 | 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've mapped quite a few (very few) since I made this account on july 31st. The cities are going to look like example. I sent a request to claim this before but it failed.

- Hello, Shenzi. As before, I would ask that you review our verisimilitude policy about sci-fi elements on the site. This was mentioned on your previous application and still stands with relation to "layers" of elevation (not sure what that means) and also the language elements. I also mentioned last time that you may apply for a BG territory to get started, hone your skills, and work on continuing to improve. There is improvement over the last submission. Even now, however, the scaling is unfortunately wrong (sizes of buildings, distances between streets and structures, angles of curves, etc.). Since this application is merely three weeks after closing out the previous, I am going to close this one out also on the same grounds per the discussion I had with the fellow admins. If you would like a BG territory, please let me know here. I will be happy to start directing you in that way. — Alessa (talk) 19:26, 13 September 2025 (UTC)
