 | 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) |
The country is completely covered in dry desert, and almost all settlements are by rivers or lakes. It is mostly flat, but will have a mountain range at its northern border.

| A brief description of the territory demographics, economic development, land occupation, infrastructure and mapping style |
Almost all of the people live by the lake in the south. The country's main industries are oil and mining. The mapping style is based off of Qatar and Saudi Arabia. The quality of life is rather low, and the average income is also low. Wealthy people tend to live very close to or right next to water.
 | History & culture |
|---|---|
| A brief description of the intended culture and language |
The country's official language is the conlang Soholo Raqar. Their culture values water and camels. They are known for their fancy handwoven rugs and quilts, and their nomads in the central areas of the country.
The people of Raqar have lived peacefully by the southern rivers for over 2,000 years. Their main religion supports pacifism, and due to being very religious, the country is not very militaristic. The capital, whose name is currently undecided, is surrounded by a large sandstone wall which was built in 1468 to protect the city from invaders. The city continued to expand outside the wall, where most of the city currently is.
