=== '''<u>Brief history of Arténie</u>''' ===
Arténie ''(Ingrean: [[Artenia]]; Akodjonian: Arténi)'' was founded initially by native indigenous tribes (looking like a mix of RW West-African people - in particular RW Akan people - and Carribean people). It was called ''Akodjoman'' (phonetic: akod͡ʒomã); literally "The State of Akodjo" pre-1100, before Valonian colonization.

Name of the country changed to Arténie, in honor of the founder of that colony who was Théodore Artène.

The Artenian society changed, from being a feodal, tribalistic and agricultural one to a modern and industrial one. Infrastructures were limited pre-1700, after that there was a huge boost and that changed the entire country forever: cities like Torvilliers and Bergate-Ville were new additions to the country whereas other ones like Arténie-Ville, the capital city, and Bréville were expanding way, way further from their core center. The Rochville island development was boosted later on in the twenties, and Artenians at that time (near 1940-1950) had the idea of tourism development for their entire country.


=== <u>Main goal</u> ===
Map Arténie to at least a medium-detailed level (I want in fact each village and town highly detailed and also natural mapping well in place).

Map Artenia natural features to a medium-detailed minimum towards a high-detailed one. Artenia is an island so natural features will be simple: high points at the core of Mainland and Rochville islands with mountains and woods, high plains and little agricultural fields inland, coastal sands, scrubs and coastal rocks near the sea.

=== <u>Guideline for the mapping</u> ===

==== Villages and Towns ====
I've mapped on paper all Artenia villages and towns.  

Towns are Fort-Fronton, Ikorodui, Le Crotet sur Mer and Maboville; other names are villages.  

===== ''Anandohkloh (Anãdôklô)'' =====
Mapping 80% complete. Need more details to go to 100%.

===== ''Akpingokloh (Aπëgoklô)'' =====
Street layout complete.

Buildings, agricultural lands to map.

===== ''Flavol (Flavôl)'' =====
Street layout needs to be reworked a little bit.

Buildings, agricultural lands, little port and natural features to map.

===== ''Gargemer (Garʒemer)'' =====
Street layout complete.

Buildings, agricultural lands and little port to map.

===== ''Ikorodui and its hamlets (Ikôrôdui wa klôkãlis)'' =====
Street layout complete.

Buildings, agricultural lands, farmlands and natural features to map.

===== ''Le Crotet sur Mer'' =====
Street layout complete.

Buildings, agricultural lands, farmlands, little port and natural features to map.

===== ''Maboville'' =====
Street layout already complete.

Buildings, agricultural lands and a little port to map. 

Natural features to rework a lot (the Mabo river needs to be narrower than it is actually).

===== ''Nzouékloh and its hamlets (Nzwéklô wa klôkãlis)'' =====
Street layout already complete.

Buildings, agricultural lands to map. 

Natural features to rework a lot  (the river needs to be narrower than it is actually).
Add more diverse landcovers like agricultural and natural ones, especially in the center core of the Mainland island.

===== ''Rochville'' =====
Rework 80% complete. Next step is to add residential buildings (pavillions and flats) and equipments.

I will also rework the other tiny island near Rochville (Ilôt Marginal).



==== Minor cities ====

===== '''''Bréville''''' =====
Bréville is the third largest city of Artenia.

Streets mapping needs to be reworked and also adjusted near the ridge at the north of the city. 

I have to complete street names after street mapping, after that I will add the buildings.

For public equipments: at least 1 school per neighborhood, 1 middle school per 2 neighborhoods (depending of the density) and 1 high school per 5 neighborhoods. 1 or 2 big universities (1 is located north of the city, the other will be south, near the sea). 1 police station per 5 neighborhoods, same thing for fire stations.

Transportation of Bréville: it will be a combination of some trams and buses networks. I have to think about it when the city will be mapped properly.

===== ''Bergate-Ville'' =====
It's the second largest city of Artenia.

A part of streets are added, the Ancient Village district street layout is completed, except the buildings.

For the modern part: street layouts being reworked. Bergate-Ville is a new town on Artenia's history so there will be mostly street grids (colonial style). I have to name the streets there, I will do it neighborhood by neighborhood. 

A tram (or a light rail of 3 lines) and a bus network will be implemented in this town.

===== ''Torvilliers'' =====
Mapping of the 4th largest city is on its way. Street grids added at 90. Will be completed step by step and after that and street naming, I will add the transportation system (maybe a tram, or a bus network) and buildings of all sorts.

==== ''Capital city (Arténie-Ville)'' ====
Arténie-Ville's mapping is on its way. 

Most of the population live between Artenia bay (Arténi Baia) and the Rocade R1 highway. Between R1 and the new R4 highway there will be small or medium neighborhoods and near the ridge of Mainland Artenia buildings will be like pavillions or small houses. 

A regional metro system is being added to this Capital city. Rework of it is still ongoing.  Arténie-Ville is a megalopolis and concentrate nearly 4/5 of Artenia's population.

The 1st borough (1vië Vlôdistriktli) rework is complete. The Historic Mansion of Akodjo (Akojo Swa Istorinwã) is the central core of the Old Village. If I add something, it will be more details. 

The eastern boroughs have their streets reworked, to follow the southern ridge of Artenia, south of the city. It's time to detail the eastern part of the city.

The International Airport is mostly mapped, I have to make some adjustments to it in order to make it complete.


As from November 2025, here are some ideas for Arténie-Ville's differents areas:

* The South Harbour will serve for ferries linking to Rochville Island primarly.
* Poor neighborhoods will be north-east of the megalopolis, near the Southern Ridge of the Mainland.
* Middle-class neighborhoods will be either sparse (outside R1 Rocade) and in the west of the megalopolis.
* High-rise and rich neighborhoods will be at the center core of the city, with some outside the R4 Rocade in the west.

Airline

ArténiAir is the national flag carrier for Artenia. Its main focus is domestical (to Rochville island) and regional (Antarephia and Tarephia mainly) with some handful flights going to the farther continents like Uletha, like the ones to Valony for instance.
Here are flight routes operated by ArténiAir (regional flights list incomplete, more to come later) :
