Nistkia is a rather warm and flat country.

The winters are soft, not really snowy. Winter temperatures: 2-13 °C, 35-56 °F.

The summers are harsher, with a lot of rain during June and high temperatures during July. Summer temperatures: 21-34 °C, 69-93 °F.

May and June are considered the "rainy time of the year", due to rain measuring bars reaching 110mm.

The areas near the lakes are more used for farming, so forests are sparse.

Meanwhile lands on the other side of the country are more forested, since they aren't suitable for farming.

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

The country is broken up into 6 krājowizna's, they resemble the IRL polish voivoderships.

On the lower level there are karszt's, which control smaller areas and have lower power.

Then, there are the small starnô's. They are the smallest and have the least power of all the three.

Nistkia is a well-developed country, due to good governments, membership in the EgU, well-placed topography and great development chances that got used.

It has strong political ties with Audrine. The countries have a long history of trading and helping each other out (both economically and in wars).

The areas near big cities are rich, so infrastructure isn't lacking.

The countryside isn't neglected, with the local governments helping them by investing in the villages and towns.

The lands near the lakes are strongly turned to tourism, with many towns being popular summer (and winter) destinations.

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

900-100 BCE --- On route to today's Audrine, some glynnic tribes stop near the Peruns lake and settle. They make a small gord near the lake, on a hill.

460 CE --- An undefined person forgets to close the gate to the gord, so at night a big pack of wolves enter and kill 1/3 of the gord's population.

982 --- Supposed settling of Nouwë Gródek.

1265 --- Battle of Śłavutôw. 3/4 of the enemy's army gets destroyed by a clever move from the king.

1486 --- 1st dark times of Nistkia. King Pavlow III declares 90% of the country's money be spent on his castle. The whole state has uprised against him. He ordered that everyone that is against him be executed.

1590 --- The national hymn, „Zéma, më Trzimómë”, is composed.

1673 --- 6 year war with Vesalija. Comes into a tie.

1811 --- Zlatnów pact with Audrine for better trade.

1952 --- 2nd dark times of Nistkia. A new president is elected. He turns the country into communism, abolishes daylight savings time and puts the people into heavy censorship. All riots against him are ended by force.

1961 --- Assasination of the president. A new one is elected. To everyone's suprise, the most left-leaning wins. National victory day (unofficial)

2002 --- 2nd Zlatnów pact. Stronger ties with Audrine.

2012 --- Joined EgU.

Dear, Filosiq, first and foremost, since West Uletha has a lot of territories, I have applied a self-policy of not adding more territories to it. With that, I would personally prefer if you request the entire territory of UL14f as it is right now. You would have to update your proposal/plan a bit, the numbers as well, but I wouldn't require you to map extra in order for a larger territory. Do you accept this proposal?
Your mapping looks incredibly good, and I am very pleased to see that. It is also fitting for the theme you want to map.
There are some issues though. Given your mapping quality and (I assume) good level of understanding of geography basics I will expect from you to adapt them:

• Your country can't be a 'warm' country, given how far north it is. You can see the territory's location relative to the real world here. I suggest looking at the climate chart of the city of Tomsk for comparison, as well as the Egalian region card as a reference. The territories south of you, including mine, already agreed upon a rather cold and harsh climate.
• Please verify the population density of your territory and once again remember how far north this territory is. It is wise to discuss those details with your potential neighbors and other active mappers in the region.
• Can you specify what kind of conlang is Nistkrian, please? I am very glad you are going for a conlang, but I'd like to know some specifics in order to balance out the cultural scheme of West Uletha. Thanks! ⸺ Bixelkoven (talk) (West Uletha Admin) 13:44, 9 June 2025 (UTC)
