==Cleanup==
==Natural Mapping==
The first stage mapping-wise will be the complete clean-up of the mapping of Castellán. All mapping previous to the setting of the collaborative stage is expected to be removed. The only mapping that will be pre-emptively conserved will be whatever is on the border with Mazan, specially land cover that spans both countries. Coastline is not to be changed either yet.

Here we will dicuss and suggest what the Castellán physical geography will look like.


===Coastline suggestions===
'''Users currently authorised to edit in the country:'''


The eastern coastline of Castellán previous to the collab stage resembles too much the real Spanish east coastline shape. For this reason, that section of the coastline will be reworked. If you have any ideas on how to do it, please post them here below.

[[File:Lithium-Castellan-Coast-Plan.png|thumb|center|Lithium-Ion's Plan.]]
The changes could be more drastic than this - perhaps turning the entire southern peninsula into islands, among other things. --[[User:Lithium|Lithium-Ion]] ([[User talk:Lithium|talk]]) 02:40, 9 November 2021 (UTC)


I had some ideas for the coastline of Eastern Castellán. All of them involve both a new strait to close the "Mediterranean" sea, and new, bigger islands to form an archipelago.
===Orography sketch===


* Proposal one - Northern strait:
After seeing all sent proposals and having reflected onto them and adapting to the new coast, I have made some temptative orography for Castellán as a base. The amount of detail shown is because this is procedurally generated (except for the rivers), but all mapping here shouldn't be followed very closely and treated more like a broad idea of what the country is going to be like, as things like scale and detail might just not be right for the size of the country given the features. The general idea, with a western plateau and parallel mountain ranges going roughly east to west, with graben-like plains in between. Placing is mostly inspired on the shape of the coastline. --[[User:Martinawa|Martinawa]] ([[User talk:Martinawa|talk]]) 01:10, 19 January 2022 (UTC)
- Keep and expand the Mariola Islands from its current position
[[File:Castellan topo idea.png|800px|center|Base Orography proposal]]


- Make a strait into the "Mediterranean" in the position of current Escuderos, Takora.
:How high do you think the tallest mountains would be? Maybe that northern range could have a few noticeable "offshoots" or parallel ridges like the Alps, since it's the southernmost part of a large mountain range similar to them. Otherwise looks really nice, no complaints at all.--[[User:Lithium|Lithium-Ion]] ([[User talk:Lithium|talk]]) 01:20, 19 January 2022 (UTC)
 
- Keep the Murica peninsula, making it narrower and more prominent (or maybe open it up into an island?)
 
[[File:Castellan coast north strait.png|thumb|center|Northern strait plan]]
 
* Proposal two - Southern strait:
**Cede the Mariola Islands off the territory, creating instead a new, bigger archipelago where Catania used to be.
**Reposition the Murica peninsula further north, making a strait into the Mediterranan next to the Franquese exclave near Vaucargue, Lustria
 
[[File:Castellan coast south strait.png|thumb|center|Southern strait plan]]
 
* Proposal three - Double straits:
**Make the two straits proposed above, although less narrow
**Cede the Mariola Islands, make a new archipelago in the new sea/gulf between the straits
**Keep the Murica cape vestigially
 
[[File:Castellan coast two straits.png|thumb|center|Double straits plan]]
 
These are rough sketches proposed as concepts and can be discussed further. Personally I like the incorporation of the Mariola Islands on the northern strait alternative. What I definitely have in mind is that Castellán should have bigger islands than it has now, and this is the ideal area for them to be placed.--[[User:Martinawa|Martinawa]] ([[User talk:Martinawa|talk]]) 18:01, 9 November 2021 (UTC)
:I like all of the proposals but if I remember well the whole point behind Mediterranean Sea was to justify colonisation of other continents by important world powers, namely Franqueterre and Plevia. Marmara or Gibraltar solutions effectively break that plan in pieces. making the Mediterranean functionally similar to the Black Sea.

===Orography suggestions===
 
As we will be working with pretty much a blank canvas, we accept suggestions on how the orography (mountains, rivers, plains, basins, plateaus, etc...) of Castellán should look like. They should have a signifficant degree of independence with whatever the coastline ends up being, and should be rather schematic, as they will be the basis for later development. Like before, please post any suggestions below.
 
My proposal:
[[File:Lithium-Castellan-Orography-Plan.png|thumb|center|Lithium-Ion's Plan]]
Rivers are just to give an idea of basins and how much there might be in any area. It's pretty rough, so a lot of changes could be made. --[[User:Lithium|Lithium-Ion]] ([[User talk:Lithium|talk]]) 02:40, 9 November 2021 (UTC)

Have tall mountain range between Castellán and Mperiye/Sathriada. This two countries are very different and we should have a border difficult to cross in ancient times. That way we could explain why the countries have so much differences and no influence in each other.

Natural Mapping

The natural mapping phase of Castellán has begun. Anyone who is interested in doing natural mapping of a region with a mediterranean climate, follow the instructions that will be given below.

For better organisation, anyone who wants to map natural features should contact Martinawa for authorisation. In the message, you may show prior work you have done on natural landcover as an indication of your skills.

After you've been given authorisation, you will be given a georreferenced file with the orography sketched (shown below) to use as a base for the natural cover. Before starting landcover you should make a boundary area, with admin_level=4, in the area you want to work on. This might be used in the future for the administrative divisions of the country, so please be creative about it. The area marked should be between 25000 and 50000 square kilometers, roughly. The idea for the landcover is to indicate only non-agricultural landuses: that is: forests, scrubs, bare rock, cliffs, marshes, wetlands, and such. Do not use grass or farmlands, especially in the flatter areas, as these will be dealt with later in the development of the country, after the settlements have been decided. --Martinawa (talk) 22:50, 13 February 2022 (UTC)

Physical planning

Here we will discuss and suggest what the Castellán physical geography will look like.

As the Cleanup phase is finished for now, I'm going to close off proposals for physical plannings soon as we try to work out the final result. This is a shout-out to give people who have had ideas for coastline and physical geography an opportunity to post their suggestions now, as there's going to be an election of the final physical geography of Castellán soon --Martinawa (talk) 05:06, 19 December 2021 (UTC)

Orography sketch

After seeing all sent proposals and having reflected onto them and adapting to the new coast, I have made some temptative orography for Castellán as a base. The amount of detail shown is because this is procedurally generated (except for the rivers), but all mapping here shouldn't be followed very closely and treated more like a broad idea of what the country is going to be like, as things like scale and detail might just not be right for the size of the country given the features. The general idea, with a western plateau and parallel mountain ranges going roughly east to west, with graben-like plains in between. Placing is mostly inspired on the shape of the coastline. --Martinawa (talk) 01:10, 19 January 2022 (UTC)

Base Orography proposal
How high do you think the tallest mountains would be? Maybe that northern range could have a few noticeable "offshoots" or parallel ridges like the Alps, since it's the southernmost part of a large mountain range similar to them. Otherwise looks really nice, no complaints at all.--Lithium-Ion (talk) 01:20, 19 January 2022 (UTC)

Cleanup

The cleanup phase is now finished. Please head to later sections to know about the state of the collaboration and to know what to do on it. The areas you might see on the map that are not blanked are intentionally so and will be treated specially by the coordinators for now.

The first stage mapping-wise will be the complete clean-up of the mapping of Castellán. All mapping previous to the setting of the collaborative stage is expected to be removed. The only mapping that will be pre-emptively conserved will be whatever is on the border with Mazan, specially land cover that spans both countries. Coastline is not to be changed either yet. --Martinawa (talk) 23:10, 18 December 2021 (UTC)
