The state would have lots of plains in the north, plains and lakes in the mid area, and forests and lakes in the south and would have a Koppen classification of DFB and some DFA.
Majority of the land would be quite flat with the south being the only main place for larger hills. The highest peak would be around 860 feet and would be in the south of the state.
There would be many rivers flowing into all three lakes. Most could be around 80 feet maximum.
I also plan to connect Lake Sauganash and Lake Betaouais with a canal or if more could be worked out actually having a natural connection. Reason being I saw for Lake Sauganash that it has no natural outflow and From my thoughts it would have some sort of outflow. (sorry this sounds a lot like Makaska)

| A brief description of the territory demographics, economic development, land occupation, infrastructure and mapping style |
Iwodia would have a population of around 2 million with 1.4 million in cities and 600 thousand in rural areas.
The state would be powered on agriculture, mines, and industries and could have a GDP of about $130 billion. Major cities would be:
- Hishtanaw (700-800k people and largest city)
- Merinak (140-200k people and Capital)
- Port City (100-140k people)
- West Varnel (75-90k people)
 | History & culture |
|---|---|
| A brief description of the intended culture and language |
The State was home to the Iwodia Tribe before colonists settled on the land. There was no known fights that happened for a long time because the Iwodia Tribe lived down in the south with the colonists in the plains with few tribe members.
The state first started out as a county (or even farther back a undefined zone) but by around 1880-1900 a referendum was held and 98% voted on becoming a state.

- Just so you know, Lake Sauganash does have an outflow (to the southeast through Seneppi, parallel to Lake Betaouais’s outflow through AR120-57). A canal between the two lakes is feasible, but given the canal system through Minnonigan to the north and that both lakes still flow into Lake Minnehunkou-Seneppi, it likely would have more minor impacts to overall development patterns. Additionally, another metro area of 700-800k people that close to the Lake City metro may be a bit much – maybe make the capital area the population center? -TheMayor (talk) 23:06, 22 July 2024 (UTC)
- You are right that Lake Sauganash does have an outflow but my point was its not natural. It does turn into a canal on the east end. And after looking i see the canal you were talking about. I am fine with removing the capital and redoing the idea because it was an idea Alessa recommended to me and I really liked it. And the location looks so nice for it being much shorter. But I will remove it unless it sounds good with you it staying. And for the big city I have next to you I can majorly decrease. I was really having second thoughts about it before I sent this but forgot to change it. I would make it likely a small city with about 30k people. For Port City I can also move it down. I personally would like it a little more central. MiniMapper (talk) 23:33, 22 July 2024 (UTC)

- If possible I just was getting second thoughts (more like forty-second) about getting this and I would like to put this on hold to let me think of other places because there are a few I may have interest in. MiniMapper (talk) 10:23, 23 July 2024 (UTC)
