"people will largely be living near the coast and in some fertile region not far from it, because of the already-established desert climate... prefer not to make a large sprawling road network. The largest city will likely not be directly on the coast. I imagine the whole territory to be kind of similar to an Arabic nation today (not necessarily on the political side). The main language is still to be defined but it will probably be a Western European one (there could perhaps be dialects)."

2019-07-11 zhenkang AR061 AR903 Approved "a 'placeholder' site for building up my planned fictional nation of Kanglapo" "a Vietnamese-like country, with possible Chinese influences due to it being colonised by a Chinese Empire once before... military still have a powerful influence over the nation... will be rather mountainous in the central area with more settlements on the coastlines. There will be two major cities, one at each of the coastlines."

"forest, field, and ... some rainforest. There will be a unique setup of super rocky mountains ... people will reside more along the oceans than anywhere else, therefore, tourism will be greater there. The country will not have much money due to lowered taxes, so population growth will be very slow compared to the average"

2019-03-27 Larson AR018a Approved "tropical climate ... to build the capital near the coast - To add mangrove/swamp along the coast and forest/mountains inland as nature reserves"; "plan is to add a railway to the north of the country and one along the bay. A seaport near the bay. Furthermore an airport near the capital an maybe one in the north. I will keep the highway in in the south to connect the neighbouring countries. The language will be Dutch."

Coordination with successful AR066/AR018 users suggested.

2019-03-26 Le Mathou AR332 Approved AR332 merged into AR333: "a vast equatorial forest, with many rivers. In the south a mountainous part that will be related with my existing mountain range ... in all cases I would have liked to make this place a sparsely populated area a kind of large undeveloped natural area"

2019-03-12 DudeMap555 AR054 Approved "it will have mostly towns and villages scattered around and about 1-3 Cities; English-speaking; More Towns up north; more Tropical Rainforest down south; More Developed near the coast (due to fishery, etc.); very few mountains; some rivers will be going across the country; a miniscule amount of agricultural land"

Limited motorways to 50 km max.

2019-03-08 Eretra AR004, AR011 Approved Urban west coast to farmlands, to tropical forest and mountains on the east, and from south to north, mountains, forest, farmland, mountains again (but smaller and rounder), farmland again and then the coast that will be home to 2 or three heavily populated cities, that expand inland, to create a urbanized river basin ... the eastern border would be quite open terrain, as the rivers coming from the mountains ranges that lies along the south and eastern ones would have flattened it quite a bit. Most of the population would reside on the coast, and along the rivers, but some big cities would be nestled in the valleys, as the flow of goods would be quite important. Modelled on African cities.
2019-03-07 ServalBomb AR003, AR004, AR007 Rejected Too few edits, no recent edits, no plan
2019-03-06 Panzerbyte AR001 Approved "island itself will not be very advanced in terms of urban planning, but will have interesting natural features and small shanty towns. Tanay has a disorganized government that has trouble keeping some its citizens fed. Thus, Tanay relies on foreign aid. Moreover, I prefer working everything out in detail, rather than covering territory with sprawling unrealistic roads"

2019-07-16 RRS AR027b Approved "relatively small, it's neither desert nor a tropical region which would be unfamiliar to me, and it's linked to another area that's at least partially developed. I have noticed that the main geographical features such as the mountain range are already there and I do not intend to change those"
2019-07-15 natlyn AR036 (North Archanta), or AR027d Rejected Beginner requesting non-beginner territory
2019-07-15 corneater69 AR027b Rejected "Faroburg was colonized by Myrcia in 1876, under the name New Dunwic, for tea production. During the 1910s, a large percentage of the Ingerish population of Myrcia immigrated to New Dunwic. After a revolution in 1957, a war between Myrcian and rebels called the "New Dunwic Freedom Front", led by Johnathan Faroburg, an Aboriginal man, broke out, and lasted until 1963, when the New Dunwic Freedom Front secured the capital, then known as Weatende, named after the Myrcian city. Elections were held, and the PSP, led by Faroburg, won the elections. In 1965, the Assembly of the People voted to name the country, and capital city Faroburg. There was a brief conflict in 1982, when a coup attempt, led by the militias of the Ingerish-dominated regions, occured. They were in control for 4 hours, before the military took back control, and gave it back to the ruling government at the time. In 1984, a large amount of Commonians migrated to Faroburg, for the promise of peace and a steady job"

Refused, need buy-in from owner of Myrcia

2019-06-28 Dimitrij AR120-57 Approved "major river coming from mountains in the north down into the coast and we want to make a lot of cities and towns along the major river of the area. To the Northwest of the country, we want it to be more mountainous and east of that will mostly be grassland. The culture will be more similar to Nordic (mostly based off of Finnish) because of settlers that were from northern areas with that kind of culture and the language should be either English or a hybrid between English and Finnish and Estonian"

2019-06-21 MobiusTheEagle AR120-56, AR032b Approved Release AR120-56 for AR032b: "mimic Southern Ontario, ... A large city-state of sorts (approx. 1-1.5 million in the metro area, storied but expanded rapidly in modern history. Almost similar to Hong Kong in a way.) around the base of the large peninsula. Agricultural and heavily forested areas would abound further north and down the peninsula. Land would remain rather flat and close to sea level. A river would join the ocean near the base of the peninsula"

2019-06-20 watered_down_orange_juice AR045e Approved "exceed 300,000 individuals. Urban areas will be the primary home for the dominant native population, with satellite cities, towns, and villages varying based on the original culture of that locale... like southern Sweden or Canada. I'm imagining a partially forested environment, but this should come naturally with the climate.... a decent sprawl between the cities and towns, and development will happen over the course of a long time."

2019-05-10 whateversusan AR120-12 Approved "small state of 1.3 million is situated right at the southern edge of the Stanton metropolitan area... The northern third of the state is largely made up of Stanton suburbs... The central third of the state is dominated by the Culpepper River. A port city at the mouth of the river is also the home of a prestigious university. The capital of Culpepper is also situated along the river near the geographic center of the state. The southern third of the state is rural in character, and is dominated by small villages, old mill towns, forests, farmland, and resorts for vacationing Stantoners. Culpepper is entirely made up of incorporated towns, there is no unincorporated land in the state. Culpepper's four counties are mainly ceremonial.

The state will be based mainly on Connecticut and somewhat on New Jersey and Long Island. Towns in the southern, rural part of the state will have a more "New England" feel to them, meaning they will be centered on a town green with a church. There will be small-to-medium cities in the central region, and exurban and satellite cities of Stanton in the north..."

2019-05-04 Brunanter AR120-75 Approved "a bit of Wyoming, Colorado, Montana, with mountains in the ?? and high plains, plateaus in all the rest. The main cities are mostly in the ??, settlement from around 1800-1820 but mostly from 1860+. I'm thinking 5 or 6 major cities/towns (15000-100,000 total pop.) and 1 - 2 million people total for the whole state"
2019-05-03 Megacity2005Creator AR120-71 Approved "Riopoderos - "the powerful rivers" - inspiration from Colorado... generally new state with a smaller population... plains will cover the entire south and entire east regions of the state in kind of a L shape, which will slowly give way to rolling hills. Mountains will cover the remaining area; the northwest is sort of a desert-mountain mix with still Rocky-type mountains, but a few mesas and canyons, similar to northern New Mexico.

The major city will be in the southeast; lots of cities will be lined up along a river in the southern area, which will substantially be the most urban out of all of the regions. The city is similar to Denver and San Francisco, being boosted by the information technology industry. The northeastern plains will be like Montana's (with Colorado climate), rustic and with some small forests and campsites."

2019-05-02 oof boi AR120-53 Approved 10x10 km project area created: "lots of natural features, consistent with the state geography, along with a small town. I also want you to use JOSM for the edits, paying special attention to the scale of items you create. I would also recommend you to sketch out a plan for the complete state, at the very least a description."
