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

Annexation of TA301 into TA302 - Proposal would add the states of Lower Sitia, Epucaleutia and Transsiticia

	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 topography for the region is mainly flat, with mountanous and hilly regions towards the borders of TA250 (Tarephia Equatorial), The Lakes Region and Valaga and Teotiyolcan borders.

The Southern Region is composed of the Delta of the Sitian-Ceuci River System and the smaller Guadarão River System through the Unnamed Sack/Bay/Sound located between Tempeira and Valaga. All of the region is covered in mainly tropical forests and mangroves, with a few natural tropical steppe locations (similar to the Cerrado Biome in Brazil or the Chaco in Paraguay and Bolivia).

The Original Area claimed is all of TA301, however due to the similarity in shape to Brazil, I have offered a exchange of territory, though Tarephia Equatorial is not available I have made a alternate proposal (that is my prefered) that exchanges the southern tip of TA250 with the western region of TA301, I do feel this give more shape to both territories and un-rectanglefies both.

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

The denser forest and large rivers that are prone to flooding would make modern infrasctucture harder to be build on, but not impossible, most cities dot the rivers and the fertile delta south. Populations concentrate on the delta, and most of the economy is based on agriculture which is inhabitaded for thousands of years.

The Urban Areas in Tempeira are linked in the section prior, together with the highways, with urban areas being dark grey and highways red. Mapping style wise, it continues with the brazilian-like mapping style.

	History & culture
	A brief description of the intended culture and language

Being at the cross-roads of southern Calueche, Ceuci and Sitian Cultures and northern more arabic/berber cultures, it has an ancient cultural haritage, however, most influence follows the Sitian and Ceuci cultures. It also was the epicenter of the Epucaleuche Republic, formed as the union of indigenous remnants of nations against florescentian and ingerish colonies.

While the official languague is Florescentan, the region heavly speaks Sitian and Ceucinian-Guarinan, against their southern counterparts, their cultural heritage is more intact.

	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.

Being a mapper for 7 years, I did have a few lost mapping endevours and did have periods of low mapping activity, while this was common in the past, in the last few years I have found the balance between work-hobby time, making it easier to edit in OGF.

• My apologies for the late response. First of all, Tarephia Equatorial being unavailable is generally just for new requests; it's a potential future collab area, but the territory is big enough that shaving off some area for Tempeira would be acceptable. Having said that, a lot of Tempeira currently is rather empty, lots of place=city nodes are mapped but without anything mapped alongside it. Checking some of your recent mapping, it's quite nice, but there's a lot of features currently pencilled in that could still be worked on- looking at some of your recent stuff at say, Talepó, it seems you've still got your work cut out for you. What would the purpose of the expansion be? Taka (talk) 20:22, 12 June 2024 (UTC)

• Hello Taka! No worries with the late response. Adressing Tarephia Equatorial, my alternate proposal would swap lands, while I would absorb the southern tip of Equatorial, TA301's remaning territory would be giver to tarephia, keeping it around the same size, but different shapes, however, if you feel that this is not the best alternative, we can discuss the full annexation of Ta301 and ignore Tarephia Equatorial. In reguards to mapping, I admit that I have recently deleted some of my older mapping to be able to reshape it easier, including Mar Agosto last year and Tileia, Carotaba and Talepo this year, howeverrrrr, I feel that I have made big progress in A. The coherence of the territory B. The coastline and state divisions C. The mapping of t some urban areas. Even though I agree many areas still sit empty, I give the excuse that I prefer working in certain areas for an amount of time and be able to get it more detailed instead of distributing some roads. Last year I had a difficult time mapping because of my schedules, and though this year I have more time, I also decided to give up Atascadera in the FSA to be able to focus in projects i'm more interested in. The expansion is not necessary to my territory's history, even though it would help, but I believe the expansion gives me the oportunity of distributing existing urban centers and working with more natural areas rather than urban and rural. I believe that my mapping and evolution in the last almost 7 years is proof that this expansion is justified.Davieerr (talk) 11:45, 13 June 2024 (UTC)
