This is the official forum for Deodeca, a state-based collaborative project in South Archanta. Located adjacent to the Federal States and Ardencia, Deodeca is a temperate, first-world Commonwealth-inspired nation on the Asperic coast of Archanta.

History

Unlike previous iterations of Deodeca that failed to gain traction with the community, the new Deodeca project is intended to be an English-speaking counterbalance to the Federal States project, for modern English-language mapping that is not American-inspired. Tentative history for the nation is based on Ingerish colonists settling Deodeca slightly before circumnavigating Astrasia and establishing settlements in what is now the southeastern Federal States. The two sets of colonies followed relatively similar trajectories; however, when the Ingerish colonists in the Federal States rebelled and declared their independence, the Deodecan colonies remained loyal to the Crown. As a result of this divergence, the Federal States became a more militaristic nation that aggressively expanded through other colonial claims in Astrasia while the Deodecans remained more peaceful, focusing more on domestic and international trade than expansion.

As time went on, the Deodecans and the Federal States grew to have stronger diplomatic relations, culminating with the Federal States purchasing a portion of Deodeca (Clamash) to complete a transcontinental railroad in the mid- to late-1800s.

Additional topics of history should be discussed here as more mappers join the project. --TheMayor (talk) 20:45, 25 March 2022 (UTC)

-We are currently looking for volunteers to help guide the development of [https://opengeofiction.net/relation/266999 State 10] in Deodeca. This state will be OGF's first dedicated Spanish language "blue" open collaborative territory, and will also include Deodeca's national capital. Similar to the ongoing development of the [[Collab:Federal States/Collaborative States/Michisaukee|FSA State of Michisaukee]], we are looking for '''experienced''' mappers who will:
-* Create an overall plan for the state based on [[Collab:Deodeca|national plans]] and mapping key features (motorways, railways, rivers, mountains, etc.) before the state opens to the public;

-* Choose an appropriate name for the state and the national capital;
-* Determine appropriate restrictions (e.g., no new motorways) for new mappers;
-* Oversee and moderate edits;
-* Represent the state in national coordination discussions;
-* Cleanup mapping as needed; and
-* Communicate with new mappers as needed.
-While this could be a one-person job, we are looking for '''two to three mappers''' who are willing to oversee the state. Interested mappers should have demonstrable experience with OGF collaborative projects, and should be comfortable communicating with new users in Spanish.
