Its econmy will mostly be tech releated, farming, and tourism. The south will have farm land, and most people will live here, while the north will have logging, ski resorts and small villages. The country will also have a large rail system that will be the primary way to get around

- Hello Alomico, thank you for your application. Your mapping history is a good start. Before granting a private territory, there are some major points I'd like to raise:
- Your territory application is not very detailed and does not relate to all aspects mentioned in the respective headers.
- Especially when applying for a very rural territory, please also practice mapping some rural/natural features and landcovers in your BG territory. So far you have mostly focussed on cities.
- If you refer to OpenGeofiction:East_Uletha, you will notice that you correctly identified the country as rather cold, with the south being on the milder side. Also note that the country will be relatively dry, with parts of if (as a rough guidance) being cold steppe. You have considerable freedom in determining the detailed climate of your territory, but a cold rainforest like you mention would be difficult to justify in this location.
- Also in the East Uletha Concept, you'll see that there is currently no cultural or linguistic theme set for the area. Swedish would be good fit, with other North European languages close by to the east. There is however no English presence in the region at this point in time. Please expand a little on what you mean by a language that is "a mix of Swedish and English", and if you yourself speak Swedish.
- Based on your response, we can have another look at whether this territory suits your plans the best or if other locations might be better alternatives. Then we can together come up with a plan for how to proceed with the application process.

- Hello! While I echo the sentiment of Leowezy regarding the need for a more detailed outline of what you intend to map as well as providing a good base of examples of your mapping, I'd also like to add a few comments. I presume with 'cold rainforest' you mean 'temperate rainforest' as found in western Norway. Which could be reasonable, even if I'm not sure where that moisture would realistically come from but that's less important. I have to comment on the name though, Härnösand. Naming your country after a significant swedish city is perhaps not the best idea and I would recommend coming up with a new name.
