'''West Uletha''' is the western half of the largest continent on OGF - Uletha. The eastern half is [[OGF:East Uletha|East Uletha]]. With great size comes great diversity in geography, culture, climate, geology, history, etc. West Uletha is imagined as the home of most European cultures including English, French, German, Italian, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish and many more. Along with those, it features certain non-European cultures including those from the Middle East, Southern Asia, Central America and the rest of the world. Finally, it is also home to many fictional languages and cultures that users have created.

Along with those, it features certain non-European cultures including those from the Middle East, Southern Asia, Central America and the rest of the world. It is worth mentioning that West Uletha is NOT supposed to be a 1:1 copy of Europe and was and will never be imagined as such, however there are certain similarities between the two areas.


The subcontinent is coordinated and managed by administrators '''[[User:Bixelkoven|Bixelkoven]]''' and '''[[User:Alessa|Alessa]]'''.
The subcontinent is home to a vast number of biomes and landscapes. Dominated by the temperate zones, it also features large swats of the ''mediterranean'' biome, as well as a sizeable amount of taigas, tundras, steppes and tropical rainforests. The rest of the subcontinent is composed of hot deserts, polar deserts, glacial terrain, ''alpine'' tundra, and all other kinds of biomes.

West Uletha is incredibly large, being home to the northernmost point of land in the world, while also having land south of the Equator. As of the 21st of March, 2024, it features 146 independent countries.
| <strong>Basic info regarding West Uletha</strong>
|-
| Geographically, West Uletha is incredibly diverse and complex. Although consensus regarding tectonic plates and fault lines has not been reached, there's clear indicators that West Uletha is packed with them. As a result, the subcontinent features numerous mountain ranges, island chains, peninsulas and even rift zones. Likewise, due to its massive land area, West Uletha boasts a wide variety of climate zones from the hottest to the coldest, and from the wettest to the driest. From the coldest fjords and tundras in the far north, deserts in the southwest, steppes and grasslands in Suria and the Egalian region, tropical islands in the Asperic Ocean, rainforests on the Liberan Island and everything in between.
 
Culturally and linguistically, West Uletha roughly follows the cultural lines of Europe, however it is not identical to it. Alongside the 3 main linguistic and cultural groups (Romance, Slavic and Germanic) which dominate the cultural landscape of West Uletha, you can find the Baltic and Finno-Ugric people groups in the northern lands, Indo-Aryan, Iranian and Turkic groups in the south, Semitic and Hellenic in the southwest, as well as Celtic in the northwest. In between all these people groups is a wide network of community-created conlangs and variations.


Finally, West Uletha has no defined socio-political and economical image, and that remains ever-changing with each new territory, however it is generally imagined that West Uletha is one of the wealthier subcontinents. The subcontinent is filled with various types of countries and governments, former colonial powerhouses, tax havens, empires, microstates, duchies, kingdoms, socialist republics, dictatorships, etc. This all adds up to the already rich tapestry of the unique territories in West Uletha.
It is worth mentioning that West Uletha is NOT supposed to be a 1:1 copy of Europe and was and will never be imagined as such, however there are certain similarities between the two areas. The subcontinent is coordinated and managed by administrators '''[[User:Bixelkoven|Bixelkoven]]''' and '''[[User:Alessa|Alessa]]'''.

West Uletha is split into 17 sectors, numbered from 1-17, which designate areas with cultural similarities. These can be identified in the first two digits of West Ulethan territory codes (for example: UL17x is a territory in sector 17, the ''Iviran Coast'' region).
West Uletha is divided into 17 regions that group together various territories with similar cultures, histories and themes. Each region is numbered and they area reflected in the territory codes. For example, a territory with the code UL01a is located in the region 01 - South Hesperic Coast. The infographics below should introduce users to each region in more detail.

=== South Hesperic Coast (01) ===
== Homeland countries ==
The South Hesperic Coast region is located in the southwestern part of the continent. It is composed of 4 territories, the largest of which is {{relation|255|Sathria}} covering over 80% of the region. It is home to {{relation|558|Roantra}}, the first territory on OpenGeofiction.
West Uletha is home to most of the countries known as 'homelands'. These are nations that serve as the cultural and historical origins of other countries in the OGF world, primarily through colonization. Many countries in [[Archanta]], [[Antarephia]], and [[Tarephia]] are envisioned as former colonies, and West Uletha is where most of their founding nations are based. These homeland countries are large, influential, and were once colonial empires. Most of them are collaborative projects and are observed by the continental administrators.

=== Asperic ''Romanthia'' (04) ===
== Community collaboration and consensuses ==
Situated as the southern extension of the expansive [[Forum:Global_and_regional_issues/History_of_Ancient_West_Uletha_and_North_Tarephia_-_Romantish_Empire|Romantish]] sphere of influence, this region borders the Asperic Ocean to its south, divided into western and eastern sectors by the [https://opengeofiction.net/#map=8/32.600/64.814&layers=B Strait of Vela]. Comprising seven territories, it stands as a nexus for some of the world's most influential cultures, notably including the Spanish homeland.
The community of OpenGeofiction will be invited to partake in various discussions in regards to the continental consensus of West Uletha. This includes, but is not limited to: names of geographic features, continental geography, notable historic events, cross-continental naming conventions (like road numberings), and others. This comes with the goal to standardize certain aspects of the West Ulethan environment and community, as well as to increase the level of collaboration in the continent. Different discussions will be opened in the forums and linked here with the verdicts. Users are welcome to open their own topics on the forum.

Within this topic we will cover the most notable geographic features in West Uletha and give them a name if they don't already have one, or change existing outdated ones! Everyone is welcome to suggest names for each feature. Larger features' names will be chosen by everyone, whilst smaller but notable features' names will be chosen by the active users in the respective region. Certain established names will not be changed.

'''Idea:''' More than 40 routes patterns have been defined across Uletha following a grid, labeling routes based on the west-east and north-south axes. The routes run across Uletha connecting control cities (at least one per territory). The exact route on the map is to be defined by the mappers involved between the control cities, whereas this numbering scheme is merely a guide. Mappers are also welcome to define routes which can connect areas and settlements not covered by the scheme.

'''Rules and guidelines:'''
*Lore-wise, the scheme was created by [[ASUN]] in West Uletha, and the plan spans the entirety of Uletha, East and West. Whether East Uletha ([[East Ulethan Organization of Intergovernmental Associates|EUOIA]]) recognizes this effort, or not, the scheme is in place. ''This is mimicking the E-road system which encompasses the entirety of Europe and parts of Asia, regardless of the socio-political climate in the area.''
*The scheme/proposal is <span style="color:#ff0026">non-binding</span>, meaning no country is required to adopt it.
*The scheme defines A-class and B-class routes, whereas all users are welcome to 'fill in the gaps' by defining C-routes with their neighbors.
*The numbering scheme is <span style="color:#ff0026">'''Uxx'''</span>, where ''xx'' is a specific route, such as U5, U25, or U251. No hyphens or other symbols are present.

| style="padding: 0.25em 0.5em;" | '''Landscape''' <br/>
'''How to map:'''
|}
*If a mapper chooses to adopt this scheme within their territory, and wishes to have the route numbers render, they can do so by tagging the affected roads with:
{| style="width: 80%; margin: 0 0 0 10%; border-collapse: collapse; background: #FBFBFB; border: 1px solid #aaa; border-left: 10px solid #f4c430;"
**<code>ref=*</code>, where * indicates the appropriate route number, e.g. <code>ref=U25</code>. Since countries have their own national numbering schemes, this can be done by including both route numbers in the same tag, e.g. <code>ref=A1;U25</code>, which will render the former number above the latter.
|-
*If a mapper chooses to adopt this scheme within their territory, but wishes <span style="color:#ff0026">'''not'''</span> to have the route numbers render alongside their national numbers (one of the reasons being they find the tags too cluttered together), they don't have to alter the ref tags.

<br>
| style="padding: 0.25em 0.5em;" | '''Climate'''<br/>
:In either case, it is best to create a relation for each route within a territory, and including the roads as the relation members. A good example of how to do that is the '''[https://opengeofiction.net/relation/524889 following relation]'''. The relation itself should feature the following tags:
|}
**<code>type=route</code> - Defining that it is a route-type relation
{| style="width: 80%; margin: 0 0 0 10%; border-collapse: collapse; background: #FBFBFB; border: 1px solid #aaa; border-left: 10px solid #1e90ff;"
**<code>route=road</code> - Defining that the route is a road
|-
**<code>network=U-road</code> - Defining the network itself, required for the renderer to match the shield design
| style="width: 52px; padding: 2px 0px 2px 0.5em; text-align: center;" | [[File:HSTheatre.svg|40px]]<br>[[File:HSA.png|40px]]
**<code>ref=*</code> - The route number in the format: UXX, where XX is the route number, e.g. U10
| style="padding: 0.25em 0.5em;" | '''Culture & language''' <br/>
**<code>name=*</code> - A custom name of the route, usually in the format: Ulethan route U10 (Country), noting which country is the relation located in
|}
:Other tags are welcome but not required.

Latest revision as of 22:32, 27 January 2026

File:BA road sign I-25.svg NOTE: This page is currently under construction. Some info is prone to changes and mistakes may be present!

West Uletha is the western half of the largest continent on OGF - Uletha. The eastern half is East Uletha. With great size comes great diversity in geography, culture, climate, geology, history, etc. West Uletha is imagined as the home of most European cultures including English, French, German, Italian, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish and many more. Along with those, it features certain non-European cultures including those from the Middle East, Southern Asia, Central America and the rest of the world. Finally, it is also home to many fictional languages and cultures that users have created.

The subcontinent is home to a vast number of biomes and landscapes. Dominated by the temperate zones, it also features large swats of the mediterranean biome, as well as a sizeable amount of taigas, tundras, steppes and tropical rainforests. The rest of the subcontinent is composed of hot deserts, polar deserts, glacial terrain, alpine tundra, and all other kinds of biomes.

West Uletha is incredibly large, being home to the northernmost point of land in the world, while also having land south of the Equator. As of the 21st of March, 2024, it features 146 independent countries.

It is worth mentioning that West Uletha is NOT supposed to be a 1:1 copy of Europe and was and will never be imagined as such, however there are certain similarities between the two areas. The subcontinent is coordinated and managed by administrators Bixelkoven and Alessa.

Regions

  • Regions of West Uletha (as of 03 May 2024)

West Uletha is divided into 17 regions that group together various territories with similar cultures, histories and themes. Each region is numbered and they area reflected in the territory codes. For example, a territory with the code UL01a is located in the region 01 - South Hesperic Coast. The infographics below should introduce users to each region in more detail.

Homeland countries

West Uletha is home to most of the countries known as 'homelands'. These are nations that serve as the cultural and historical origins of other countries in the OGF world, primarily through colonization. Many countries in Archanta, Antarephia, and Tarephia are envisioned as former colonies, and West Uletha is where most of their founding nations are based. These homeland countries are large, influential, and were once colonial empires. Most of them are collaborative projects and are observed by the continental administrators.

No user is allowed to own a territory which would act as a homeland of the cultures mentioned below, but it is allowed to own a country which has a similar culture to one of them. Those countries are:

Some countries that act as homelands, but aren't officially considered as such nor are they designated as such by the admin team, include:

Community collaboration and consensuses

The community of OpenGeofiction will be invited to partake in various discussions in regards to the continental consensus of West Uletha. This includes, but is not limited to: names of geographic features, continental geography, notable historic events, cross-continental naming conventions (like road numberings), and others. This comes with the goal to standardize certain aspects of the West Ulethan environment and community, as well as to increase the level of collaboration in the continent. Different discussions will be opened in the forums and linked here with the verdicts. Users are welcome to open their own topics on the forum.

Topic 1: Toponyms

Within this topic we will cover the most notable geographic features in West Uletha and give them a name if they don't already have one, or change existing outdated ones! Everyone is welcome to suggest names for each feature. Larger features' names will be chosen by everyone, whilst smaller but notable features' names will be chosen by the active users in the respective region. Certain established names will not be changed.

The full discussion is located at TBC.

Topic 2: Continental Route Numbering

A collaborative effort to create a continental scheme for numbering roads in Uletha (East and West) - the U-roads. All details regarding the proposal, as well as the discussion around the topic, can be found at the forum post of the relevant topic: Link

Idea: More than 40 routes patterns have been defined across Uletha following a grid, labeling routes based on the west-east and north-south axes. The routes run across Uletha connecting control cities (at least one per territory). The exact route on the map is to be defined by the mappers involved between the control cities, whereas this numbering scheme is merely a guide. Mappers are also welcome to define routes which can connect areas and settlements not covered by the scheme.

File:Codex icon map color-base.svg The image of the proposal can be found at the following link, hosted externally due to the large size of the file.

Rules and guidelines:

  • Lore-wise, the scheme was created by ASUN in West Uletha, and the plan spans the entirety of Uletha, East and West. Whether East Uletha (EUOIA) recognizes this effort, or not, the scheme is in place. This is mimicking the E-road system which encompasses the entirety of Europe and parts of Asia, regardless of the socio-political climate in the area.
  • The scheme/proposal is non-binding, meaning no country is required to adopt it.
  • The scheme defines A-class and B-class routes, whereas all users are welcome to 'fill in the gaps' by defining C-routes with their neighbors.
  • The numbering scheme is Uxx, where xx is a specific route, such as U5, U25, or U251. No hyphens or other symbols are present.

How to map:

  • If a mapper chooses to adopt this scheme within their territory, and wishes to have the route numbers render, they can do so by tagging the affected roads with:
    • ref=*, where * indicates the appropriate route number, e.g. ref=U25. Since countries have their own national numbering schemes, this can be done by including both route numbers in the same tag, e.g. ref=A1;U25, which will render the former number above the latter.
  • If a mapper chooses to adopt this scheme within their territory, but wishes not to have the route numbers render alongside their national numbers (one of the reasons being they find the tags too cluttered together), they don't have to alter the ref tags.


In either case, it is best to create a relation for each route within a territory, and including the roads as the relation members. A good example of how to do that is the following relation. The relation itself should feature the following tags:
    • type=route - Defining that it is a route-type relation
    • route=road - Defining that the route is a road
    • network=U-road - Defining the network itself, required for the renderer to match the shield design
    • ref=* - The route number in the format: UXX, where XX is the route number, e.g. U10
    • name=* - A custom name of the route, usually in the format: Ulethan route U10 (Country), noting which country is the relation located in
Other tags are welcome but not required.
