	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)

Far north Atwileland would be a tropical desert (BWh), before blending into a savannah (Aw). South of the savannah would be a long stretch of mountains, acting as a rain shadow. South of the mountain range would be a tropical rainforest (Af). Tarephian Lake B1 is significantly lower than surrounding land, with cliffs towering over it.

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

The main demographic in Atwileland would be Atwileian, analogous of ethnic groups in Western Africa such as Nigerian and Ghanaian. There are also [Dutch] and Ingerish ethnic groups as minorities. Atwile-Ingerish and Atwile-[Dutch] communities are also prevalent.

Atwileland is centred around its main capital, Atwoba, which will have a metropolitan area population of around 10 million people. However, the next largest metropolitan areas will have populations of about 100-200k, an example of the drastic differences in Atwoba compared to the rest of the country. Furthermore, infrastructure in Atwoba, such as motorways and railways would be moderately developed, whilst infrastructure elsewhere would be underdeveloped.

People in rural areas would be significantly poorer than in urban areas, and land usage in rural areas would mainly be allocated to agriculture. However, economy in rural areas is slowly improving due to the newly developed rural bus systems to the cities.

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

People in rural areas would be significantly poorer than in urban areas, and land usage in rural areas would mainly be allocated to agriculture. However, economy in rural areas is slowly improving due to the newly developed rural bus systems to the cities.

The culture and languages of Atwileland are built on creoles between English, Dutch and the native language in the area. Akan is situated in the north, speakers of Igbo are mainly from the west and southwest, and Yoruba speakers are from the rest of the nation. Since there is much diversity in the languages spoken in Atwileland, the main two lingua francas are English and Yoruba.
