Hello, I would like to reclaim my previous territory.

	Territory ID and proposed name
	The Territory ID (from OpenGeofiction:Territories, e.g. AR123a) and proposed name of the country

UL26d - Majar, officially the Majaran Republic

File:Noun Project Map icon 1463108.svg	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)

The territory will be a large valley, flanked by mountain ranges in the northwest, its entire eastern border, and in the west. The valley is shaped by a major river flowing towards the southern coast.

The territory's climate will be divided into four categories;

• A wetter and warmer climate on the southern coast.
• A wet but cold climate in the mountainous areas.
• A drier and milder climate on the northern coast compared to the south.
• A dry and hot climate in the central north.

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

The overall population would be around 20 million, around one-third of them would be settled in urban areas.

Around a quarter of the land is arable, agriculture and shipping is a major economic sector. Tourism would also be important.

File:Noun Project languages icon 105908 cc.svg	History & culture
	A brief description of the intended culture and language

I have read a page where it says that the region's cultural target-theme would be Indian and/or Austronesian.

I would go for an Austronesian cultural theme like that of Taiwan or Northern Philippines.

	To support your request provide links to areas of OGF mapping which showcase your mapping skill. Mapping relevant to the requested theme & geography is especially useful.
	The {{coord}}, {{node}}, {{relation}} or {{scalehelper}} templates can optionally be used to link to the OGF map - they result in nicely formatted links. Or you can paste in a URL.

Hello Ecchi Kei, thank you for your application. Some comments I would like to ask you to address:

• could you briefly explain what lead to you regaining interest in this territory compared to the last time owned it?
• please describe the country's history
• what would the country's language be
• how economically developed would it be

Looking forward to your reply, best, Leowezy (talk) 15:01, 19 November 2025 (UTC)

Hi, thanks for responding to my application.

• I got more free time, and browsing on old notes on creating this fictional country motivates me to be engaged in this site once again.
• A rough history of Majar would be of a collection of tribes that developed into an empire after repelling an invasion from the north, at that time, the populace was concentrated on central west of the territory where the empire's capital is located. The age of maritime trade was opened in Majar, making the southern coast more populated and self-governing. A civil war broke and Majar was split into two states. An attempt to unify the two was successful for the northern state, creating a new capital between Majar's largest port city in the south and the former capital city in the north. The empire started to decline when it was colonized by a maritime colonial power (probably from East or West Uletha), taking control on most of the former southern state, leading to the displacement of the capital back to the north. When the colonizers gave independence to the southern state, Majar was once again unified but now as a republic, and an ethnically diverse southern part. Majar would still be developing on its northern parts while the south enjoys a medium to high income economy.
• A conlang with borrowed or modified words from Austronesian, Indian, and nearby related languages.
• Majar would still be developing on its northern parts while the south enjoys a medium to high income economy.
