The larger cities are connected by a well-developed road and rail network. The population is concentrated near the lakes, in the valleys. There is an international airport in Mehelsa. The estimated population is about 3 million.

• Thanks for the application. Can you supply a sketch map of your plans? /wangi (talk) 08:16, 6 August 2022 (UTC)
• I'd also like to note that Ardencia is intended to be a previous Franquese (French) colony rather than a homeland, so keep that in mind while planning an Ardencian province. Additionally, "large cities in the middle of nowhere" are not realistic; major urban areas will have some sort of historic justification for their placement and continued growth. Finally, as a new user, I'd also encourage you to consider starting with a beginner territory to continue honing your skills before requesting a standalone territory. -TheMayor (talk) 17:23, 6 August 2022 (UTC)
