AN125, AN133, AN105, AN127 - Vastia (''collaborative project'')

{{territory application physical geography}}

Vastia is expected to be mostly covered by desert and semi-arid areas (predominantly in '''[https://opengeofiction.net/relation/380#map=6/-29.554/21.385&layers=B AN125]'''), following the regional consensus presented in [https://wiki.opengeofiction.net/images/c/c5/Antarephia_Geo_Sector.png this image]. The remaining territory is expected to include minor tropical ([https://opengeofiction.net/relation/397#map=7/-24.843/24.093&layers=B '''AN127''']) and subtropical areas ([https://opengeofiction.net/relation/404 '''AN133'''] and '''[https://opengeofiction.net/relation/313688#map=9/-28.1202/35.0704&layers=B AN105]'''). Climatically speaking, we will follow the [https://wiki.opengeofiction.net/images/6/67/Antarephia_Climate.png regional consensus]: predominantly [[Wikipedia:en:Desert climate#Hot%20desert%20climates|BWh]] and [[Wikipedia:en:Desert climate#Cold%20desert%20climates|BWk]]; in a minor extent, [[Wikipedia:en:Semi-arid climate#Hot%20semi-arid%20climates|BSh]], [[Wikipedia:en:Humid subtropical climate|Cfa]] and [[Wikipedia:en:Tropical savanna climate|Aw/As]].

Vastia is also expected to have sections of some of the [https://wiki.opengeofiction.net/images/6/67/Antarephia_Climate.png transcontinental mountain ranges], that will serve as sort of a buffer zone between the arid climates/areas and more humid ones. Due to the predominant position of desert in the country, most of it will be plain, with a maximum height of about 3,500 m.a.s.l.n. [https://opengeofiction.net/user/Imperator Imperator], which is submitting this proposal with me, developed a rough sketch of geography for [https://opengeofiction.net/relation/380#map=6/-29.554/21.385&layers=B AN125] on the Arhet website (you can see it [https://arhet.rent-a-planet.com/#map=6/12.790/-11.052&layers=W here]; please ignore the nearby random motorways). 

{{territory application human geography}}As explained in the ''History and culture'' section of the application, there will be five major linguistic groups in Vastia: '''Nizianics, Vastians, Talecians, Corvanish and Regalians'''. They are expected to be organized into [[Wikipedia:en:Region|regions]], [[Wikipedia:en:Province|provinces]] and [[Wikipedia:en:Municipality|municipalities]]. The economy of Vastia is based on [[Wikipedia:en:Mining|mining]], [[Wikipedia:en:Petroleum extraction|petroleum extraction]], and diverse [[Wikipedia:en:Manufacturing|manufacturing industries]]. Most of the territory will be infertile, since it is covered by desert or semi-arid areas. The most fertile areas are on the coast (near Cygagon, Dacategia, Brocéliande and Soboko Republic), and the southeast of the expected country (fundamentally the [https://opengeofiction.net/relation/404 AN133 territory]). The most developed infrastructure will be found in coastal areas, centers where oligarchs reside, and at extraction points; while the rest of the country would have a weak infrastructure, similar to countries in the [[Wikipedia:en:Maghreb|Maghreb]] or [[Wikipedia:en:Latin America|Latin America]].

Therefore, the mapping will be inspired by the previously mentioned areas and some countries in the [[Wikipedia:en:Middle East|Middle East]], such as [[Wikipedia:en:Saudi Arabia|Saudi Arabia]] and the [[Wikipedia:en:United Arab Emirates|United Arab Emirates]].{{territory application history and culture}}

Vastia is expected to be inhabitated by various linguistic groups, as explained in our [https://imgur.com/gallery/d3kKYRS linguistic map]. Most of the languages that are expected to be used in Vastia will be [[Wikipedia:en:Constructed language|conlangs]], including: a mix between [[Wikipedia:en:Old Spanish|Old Spanish]] and [[Wikipedia:en:Sicilian language|Sicilian]]-[[Wikipedia:en:Maltese language|Maltese]] ('''Nizianics'''), mix between ''Old Spanish'' and [https://opengeofiction.net/#map=6/-35.021/37.244&layers=B Ohemian] ('''Vastians'''), mix between [[Wikipedia:en:Basque language|Basques]] and [[Wikipedia:en:Galician language|Galicians]] ('''Talecians'''), mix between [[wikipedia:en:Sardinian_language|Sardinian]] and ''Ohemian'' ('''Corvanish'''), [[Wikipedia:en:French language|Franquese]]; and mix between ''Old Spanish'', [[wikipedia:en:Sardinian_language|Sardinian]] and ''Ohemian'' ('''Regalians'''). We are still debating the historical origin of the linguistic groups, but it is likely to be originated by colonization or migration from the [[Wikipedia:en:Homeland|homelands]] of these languages. 

The country is expected to be governed through an [[Wikipedia:en:Oligarchy|oligarchic]] [[Wikipedia:en:Constitutional monarchy|semi-constitutional monarchy]], whose head of state, the king, is elected by the ''High Council'' (composed of the [[Wikipedia:en:Oligarchy|oligarchic]] leaders of each province). There is a parliament [[Wikipedia:en:Election|elected by the people]], but it is fundamentally influenced by the High Council and the King of Vastia.
