| A brief description of the territory demographics, economic development, land occupation, infrastructure and mapping style |
The country in total has a population of around 2 Million. The largest city is Damia, in South Capitán. In order of population, the other major cities are as follows: Debut, New Ledbury, Capia, Hersey City, Port Gai. Debut is the capital, and judicial centre of the country. Damia is the economic centre. Port Gai is regarded as the largest settlement in the country with no colonial influence.
Public transit is left up to provincial governments, meaning some will have better connection than others.
Railway transport only exists in Capitán and Hersey, ran by National Railways, the Hersey Railroad, the Damia Transit Authority or the Capitol Rapid Transit (CaRT). A series of ferries connect the islands.
Administratively, the country is divided into six provinces, North Capitán, South Capitán, Toçi Sound, Limain Island, Burnsey Shore and New Ledbury. These provinces are further divided into parishes or city districts.
The population in Hersey is rising steadily, as more work becomes available. The country (especially Hersey) is attractive to companies due to its well educated workforce, low corporation tax and the fact that Ingerish is spoken. Capitán is regarded as a tax haven, and I hope to collaborate with some Tarephian countries to set up int'l headquarters in cities like New Ledbury.
Tourism is a major money-maker in Capitán, accounting for 20% of the country's income. The main holiday destinations are Toçi Sound and Limain, though tourists also visit the other parts of the country. Its beautiful beaches and clear seas attract tourists from across the world. The largest and busiest airport in the country is Damia Neziri International Airport.
Capitán has an aging population. Most young people are moving to the cities or in the worst cases leaving the country for Uletha. Hersey is the most well-off region in the country.
Highways, given the A prefix link together major towns and cities. They go all accross the country.
Motorways are highways which have a speed of 120km/h, are a dual carriageway or more, do not allow stopping and use the general "keep left" rules. They appear infrequently, mostly around big cities. The longest stretch links Hersey City and New Ledbury. Most mororways are tolled by private companies who also manage the maintainance of them. Motorways retain the route number of the A road from which it originates, but takes an M prefix instead.
Regional Highways (R), Local Highways (L) and unclassified roads follow.
The government built most of these roads during the early 2000s but no new construction is planned. Generally, the small motorway network serves the small country well. Most people live in dense urban buildings, with three-four floored townhouses. Outside of this, there are lots of villages and smaller towns dotted accross the country and people often build houses out in the country on already-built roads.

Cultures are mainly outlined here: https://imgur.com/94jHO3Y
The native culture of the island, mostly found in Limain and remote parts of Capitán and Hersey is based on a conlang I am currently working on. The natives are not pagans and were converted sometime in the past.
South Capitán had a revolution in 1885, forming the Republic of Capitán. Toçi Sound remained part of its empire until 1905 when it was liberated by its neighbours to the North, which started a five-year-long war. When the Empire and Capitán had finally come to an agreement, the islands were devistated by its effects. Shortly after this, in 1912, people desperate to be looked after better by their government staged a coup. The new government, lead by Sebastian Seferi was a military dictatorship. Rojas spent more money on improving the lives of his citizens, but he also committed attrocities such as the Limain Invasion in 1923 (when towns in Limain were burned to the ground in a Capitán conquest) and the Garza Massacre in 1925 when he had his soldiers open fire on a group of protestors. (Seferi also founded planned towns such as Seferigard) The Ingerish eventually intervened in 1930, invading the three islands from their colony of Hersey. The invasion was to restore peace to the archipeligo. The invasion was ultimately a success, and Seferi was imprisoned, and later exiled. In 1964, Hersey was released and chose to join Capitán, whose economy was growing steadily.
Below is the flag of the country since 1798 (unofficially until 1932) when it was used to represent the rebels during a rising in Damia.
The original flag featured more colonial features.

| 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. |
I have been mapping in BG36: https://opengeofiction.net/#map=10/16.1059/-107.4477&layers=B for a while now using JOSM and the further west you go the more recent the mapping is. The mainland regions are based on Ireland however this island to the north: https://opengeofiction.net/#map=12/16.2284/-107.5331&layers=B is relevant to this territory application as it is based loosely on Jamaica. An example of my urban mapping can be found in Oliver City and an example of my rural mapping can be found in the countryside and in the forests and mountains where I have detailed some tourist destinations inspired by Co. Kerry, Ireland. (e.g. Farrowdown Lake: https://opengeofiction.net/#map=15/15.9933/-107.4693&layers=B)
I would also like for The town of Stricture to be moved to Hersey and help with how to do this.

- Hi, the TA admin recently stepped down, and applications are currently not being accepted for the continent. Given the application was made before this, I will consider it. However, I have reduced the scope of the application to one of the territories. Please rework the application with this in mind, plus using the information at OpenGeofiction:Tarephia#North Tarephia to guide the culture. Thanks/wangi (talk) 08:22, 10 September 2024 (UTC)
