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

Arténie-Ville, the capital city, is located directly near the sea. It's the largest city of the country, with 2,500,000 inhabitants. It's home for more than 1/3 of the country's population and concentrates 80% of the country's economy. It's a huge city, densely populated, like the real-life city of Paris. It has its own regional métro network which serves the Région Capitale district.

Bréville, Parville and Torvilliers are major cities but each one have about 500,000 inhabitants (like real life cities of Lyon or Bordeaux in France) while the rest of the population live in minor cities or in the rural areas.

Arténie being a highly centralised state, it effects the main road and main rail networks: every main road begins at Arténie-Ville.

About the rural areas, it will be to the east, there will be natural pine forest and these areas will be marked as National parks (the precise location is unknown at this time).

Mapping style of big cities will be a mix of Franquese and Castellan inspired (I think about real life Paris and Barcelona cities) while the rural towns will be more like real-life western European style.

And here the administrative map of the country: https://i.imgur.com/J7WTEAw.png

The administrative divisions will be as follow:

1. Country (Etat)
2. Districts (Régions)
3. County (Départements)
4. Cities (Villes ou Communes)
5. Arrondissements (only for Arténie-Ville)
6. Quartiers (for Arténie-Ville and other major cities)

	History & culture
	A brief description of the intended culture and language

La République Arténienne was founded by Artenians in 1700 (some indigenous people, they look like real-life west African people).

Contact with the Franquese in 1850 and colonised by them in 1860 for about 70 years, then a revolution started in 1930 and Arténie gains its independence in 1933. The people have kept "Arténie" as their name of the country and many elements of the Franquese culture were incorporated in their everyday life.

Intended culture will be a mix of Franquese and indigenous, but the language will be Franquese, with west African influences.
