State name’s geography is quite flat and would only have somewhat major height differences in the north. Most people would live across the middle around FS-2 and other pockets of people would be north next to Nenova and down south on the coast.

The average temperature would be in the summer 70-80℉ and the winter around 20℉

It would have patches of many lakes and forests but otherwise it would be plains for the most part.

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

The state would have around 600,000 people (20 per sq mi + the two cities) with most living in Amhearst (previously Eriksburg) at around 200,000 people and the capital Fort Molston with it having around 60,000 people.

The state's primary industries would be farming, forestry and a lot of mineration in the northern parts with little to medium manufacturing. because of the limited access to the lakes and lack of major river routes.

	A brief description of the intended culture and language

The name Nakoda comes from the word for friend in the Choctaw language, which got heard by Archantan explorers when arriving at the modern day region of the state, creating the territory of Nakoda which evolved to the modern state. Indigenous reservations would have been threatened a lot but are still present in the state, although with small sizes.

Due to the late “discovery” of the territory, the farm sizes happen to be very big (something like Iowa styled farms in the middle) with smaller farms and more forest the closer you get to the northernmost and southernmost edges of the territory.

• Hey there! I just wanted to point out that Choctaw (which I'm assuming you want to use) would not be a great fit for the area as one member of the Muskogean language family, Muscogee/Seminole, exists in northern Ogdalen—having another member so far would mess up the coherency. Instead, I recommend looking into languages like Arapaho, Ojibwe, or another language from the Algonquian family, which seems to be dominant in your area. Thanks! --IiEarth (talk) 09:14, 3 July 2024 (UTC)
