BG03 - Begigoku

File:Noun Project Map icon 1463108.svg	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)

• climate - mainly tropical
• topography - mostly flat with an increasing amount of mountains closer to the center (maximum height 750m) and cliffs on the southeastern coast (plus an archipelago a few km away from the southeastern coast - more about what I mean in the past mapping section ^_^)
• landscape - mangroves on the east coast, touristy beaches on the north and west coasts, rugged sea cliffs with relatively newly-formed beaches on the southeastern coast

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

• demographics - HDI of 0.810, 80% of population lives in the coastal areas on the east, north, and west while 19% lives in the central regions and 1% on the southeastern coast
• economic development - recently upgraded to advanced economy status, high GDP per capita, historically concentrated on the coasts but some economic development started reaching the mountainous central regions 3 decades before, mainly relies on technology exports and tourism for income
• land occupation - Begigoku's national capital is moderately south of the centerpoint; 7 of Begigoku's regional capitals are on the coasts while 2 are in the mountainous central regions; 8 of Begigoku's 10 settlements with populations of 500k or over are on flatland
• infrastructure - public transport/rail infrastructure is well-funded; all of Begigoku's 2 complete motorways were first built 4 decades ago with all attempts at building more motorways being halted indefinitely due to controversy; technological infrastructure is usually upgraded every 5 to 10 years
• mapping style - similar to IRL Japan, PR China, and the mountain states of the USA

File:Noun Project languages icon 105908 cc.svg	History & culture

	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.

13.7685°N, 113.4716°W (an archipelago called Hyakuhachijima that I started mapping in the new user practice zone and plan to move to the southeast of BG03 once I get editing rights to it and eventually again when I begin holding a territory elsewhere on the OGF map (^///^))
