AN109, Yusuria

| An overview of climate, topography and landscape of the country. It is advised to also create a sketch, you can add a link to this (hosted on imgur or similar) |
https://ibb.co/rQPwL1G Quick sketch for where the mountains may be
Yusuria will have a tropical climate type. The island will have formed by a volcano that has since been dormant, covered by a dense (rain)forest. This is viable because a tectonic fault runs near the island. There will be a mountain range tapering to the west, allowing short rivers to exist in the western region. The western portions of the island may be rougher than the east, where luxurious beaches will be found.

| A brief description of the territory demographics, economic development, land occupation, infrastructure and mapping style |
The nation's citizens will mostly comprise of Yusurian ethnicity. They will have been undisturbed by nearby peoples for a good portion of their history. Their economy will be carried by fishing and tropical crop farming. They will have also been a colony for a small portion of their history, so their infrastructure levels will be boosted by such colonization.
My idea for the mapping style will be Southeast-Asia, specifically in Indonesia and the Visayan Islands of the Philippines. Other mapping styles may be present as well.
 | History & culture |
|---|---|
| A brief description of the intended culture and language |
As stated before, Yusuria is mostly inspired by SEA, so their culture will appear on the island. The island may have been colonized by nearby (or Ingerish) powers, so some of their cultures may have been present. Yusuria will mostly speak Yusuri, a conlang that I have been working on, and Castellanese, a clearly profound language in the area. Yusuri is currently undergoing a huge revamp, so I may only use basic vocabulary for now. The primary language of whoever colonized AN109 may have a presence on the island as well, if not already a Castellanese-speaking nation.
 | Past mapping |
|---|---|
| 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}} template can optionally be used to link to the OGF map - it results in a nice formatted link. Or you can paste in a URL. |

Hello! I am rushing to take this territory before anyone else takes it. My original plan was when I have a good amount of skill from my beginner territory, BG36 or Fridhiaris, I would have took AN101 or AN102, but these two were both taken in a quick fashion. They are now Artenie and Marize respectively. Therefore, before anyone else takes even more islands in the area, I am claiming AN109. Here, I can further develop more of my skills, especially motorway and interchange mapping. Also, by claiming AN109, I am willing to possibly give up Fridhiaris for newbies.
