	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)

Borycz is defined by a landscape of gentle uplands that slope toward a large freshwater basin in the east. The Western region consists of low, rolling hills and wide valleys suitable for traditional agriculture. The Central region is a vast, flat plain covered by dense, ancient pine forests. The Eastern border is defined mostly by Lake Mszar, a large glacial lake featuring clear waters and sandy shores, surrounded by light woodland and meadows. The climate is temperate and continental.

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

The settlement of Borycz followed a west-to-east progression dictated by the terrain. Initial development was concentrated in the Western highlands, where the gentle hills provided defensable positions and fertile ground for early agricultural hamlets. As the population grew, expansion pushed into the Central Farmlands, leading to the establishment of timber-focused frontier settlements and eventually the industrial heartland of Przeciag. The Eastern Lake District was the final region to be formally settled; historically used for seasonal fishing and grazing, it has recently transitioned into an area of lakeside communities and religious retreats centered around Mszar.

Today, population centers feature a mix of 19th-century red-brick architecture and modern glass structures, while villages maintain a historic layout of long-strip settlements. The economy is driven by large-scale manufacturing, logistics, and wood harvesting, all connected by a large rail and road network that follows the contours of the landscape.

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

Borycz is a deeply religious West Glynian state where the Christic faith is a primary religion. Towns and villages are anchored by prominent churches, while the countryside is dotted with wooden chapels and roadside shrines. The culture is one of order and community, where hard work and faith are highly valued. The national currency is the Bore (฿r), and the official language is Boryczanin.
