Mecyna^∈⊾ is the second supervised open collaborative territory in OpenGeofiction (OGF) (indicated blue on the territory map. All mappers are welcome to contribute! Please strive for realism and consistency with guidelines set out here.

Established editors are asked to reach out to new mappers, aid them our guidelines and best practices. Mecyna's dedicated forum section is the official place for all discussions and collaboration regarding the country.

Mapping guidelines

Follow blue territory etiquette.

• Always try to improve existing mapping.
• The Canal of Mecyna itself should not be modified. Crossings across the canal also should not be mapped. Mapping alongside the two banks are allowed.
• Consult mapping guidelines:
  • Help:Making realistic countries
  • Help:Making realistic cities
  • Help:Making realistic roads
  • Help:Making realistic railways

Mecyna should be mapped in Ingerish (OGF:English). However other languages are accepted and can be interpreted as diaspora communities within the country. In addition, names should not be abbreviated.

Mecyna can take inspiration from any place, as long as it is within verisimilitude.

Below are guidelines that contributors are recommended to follow to make Mecyna more coherent as one country.

Settlements

Settlements:

• Cities are 9 km² or larger with mapped buildings
• Towns are 1 to 9 km² with mapped buildings
• Villages are smaller than towns with neighbourhoods and/or blocks
• Hamlets are places without neighbourhoods and blocks along a street or crossroads
• Isolated dwellings are places up to 3 buildings
• Localities are places with no [permanent] inhabitants

Sub-settlement areas (based on OSM place definitions):

• Boroughs/suburbs are large sub-areas of cities
• Quarters are medium sub-areas of cities or large sub-areas of towns
• Neighbourhoods are small sub-areas of city or towns

Rails

Main article: Collab:Mecyna/Railways

This applies to all applicable rail types, including subway, trams and high-speed rail. Rails are:

• Run on the right, when there are parallel railways;
• Uses 1435 mm standard gauge;
• Uses metric units;
• Are electrified [by contact line];
• Uses 25000 voltage; and
• Use 50 (hertz) frequency.

Roads

Main article: Collab:Mecyna/Highways

• Drive on the right;
• Uses metric units; and
• Have maximum speed limits 120 km/h or lower.

Regional roads classifications (based on OSM highway definitions):

• Motorways are grade-separated double-carriageway roads that connects cities
• Trunks are those that aren't motorways but connects cities
• Primaries connects towns larger than 4 km² or connects towns with cities
• Secondaries connects towns smaller than 4 km² or connects towns with cities
• Tertiaries connects villages or connects villages with towns or greater settlements
• Unclassifieds connects hamlets or connects hamlets with villages or greater settlements
• [Unmaintained] tracks connects farms and isolated dwellings or smaller

Urban roads classifications:
(Regional roads classifications apply before urban roads classifications; for example, a motorway is allowed through a settlement if it eventually serves/terminates at a city.)

• Motorways are not used in a settlement
• Trunks are not used in a settlement
• Primaries are not used in a settlement
• Secondaries connects boroughs/quarters
• Tertiaries connects neighbourhoods
• Unclassifieds connects blocks
• Residentials connects houses of a street to other roads
• Services are used in non-residential areas

Administrative subdivisions

• States (admin_level=3 administrative subdivisions) contain 1 city, with the city as state capital
• Counties (admin_level=6 administrative subdivisions) contain 1 town, with the town as state capital
• There are no other levels of administrative subdivision other than national (admin_level=2), state (admin_level=3), and county (admin_level=6). However, others can be kept for reference or future splitting of states and counties.

Recommended sites for mapping

Below are sites recommended for new users to contribute to due to their emptiness (see natural and urban mapping sites) or the decent established mapping to continue off from (see existing cities and towns).

(Accompanying Overpass searches provide the most up-to-date map information but data obtained can have inaccurate/erroneous tagging.)
