	The Territory ID (from OpenGeofiction:Territories, e.g. AR123a) and proposed name of the country

AN127 - Casterlinia (Republic of Casterlinia)

	Physical geography
	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)

As we can see on the map, the western part of the country is mainly semi-arid while the east is tropical, and a little bit, in the south there are parts that are arid. On the middle of the country lay the Shawkee mountains, an indigenous name given to the northern Antarephian mountain range branch, which is a colder mountain range with higher heights, on it's southwest, the mountainrange splits the climate in three in some way, separating arid from semiarid and tropical. The south of the country gets the least amount of rainfall in the entire country due to the arid climate, however it is very rich in resources. The ocean swell spins near Cygagon's East coast, making a lot of waves on the western coast.

The southern moutainrange in the south of the country is has got highest points of elevation in the country, along with the Shawkee mountainrange having the second highest. Those mountainranges split Casterlinia from AN125 which has an arid climate due to the height of the mountains. The east river basin is the most arid region in the entire country and is also the area with the most rainfall. The peninsula on the north is called Jackson Peninsula, it splits two regions of the country, the tropical one and semi arid, this region has many irrigation infrastructure to support the agriculture.

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

Casterline was the name of a Ingerish leader's wife, this colony was named after her, being named Casterlinia. Casterlinia was a colony of FSA for 256 years, and briefly colonized by a few southern Antarephian tribes before the FSA colonisation. This territory declared independence roughly 24 years ago, under the condition that it would become politically favorable to Ingerland. Due to the Ingerish occupation, the overall culture and language of the country is simillar to Australian culture, having simillar urban development processes as Australia. This also made the language of the country Ingerish, with it's own dialect.

The Political system of this country is a Constitutional Democracy, very simillar to UK's political system in real life. The two major parties are the Conservative Casterline Party (CCP) and Liberal Democratic Party (LDP), as the majority of the country has a strong Middle-Left Political culture.

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

The urban development is very simillar to Australia, having cities with smaller highrise centers and bigger suburbs. Due to the job opportunities and economic development of the East coast, achieved through maritime trade, and the tropical climate, the east coast has the highest density of population, concentrated through the Jacksonville - New Heidelberg strip, an area with a lot of natural harbours. The eastern plains also are the most fertile in the entire country, and the plains with strong agriculture. On the West plains, more on the inland parts, a little bit of agriculture is present, however only near the rivers and coast, as the soil is dry. In the south, smaller cities are present, with smaller sizes. Their economies is also smaller, being more dependant on extraction of natural resources like iron and stone. On the west coast, the only big city present is Westhaven, a stablishment originally from a south Antarephian nation on a natural harbour that grew a lot in size due to the tourism economy during the ingerish occupation and the modern era.

	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.

https://opengeofiction.net/#map=13/-26.2472/166.1746&layers=B -> this was my first city mapped, it was mapped almost a month ago on Tierra Nueva, a blue territory

https://opengeofiction.net/#map=13/-37.0056/155.5247&layers=B -> Linden is the city I am actively working on, its twin city, Heidelberg, is also a city that is undergoing development, those are my main cities which I am working on. The areas near South Linden Lake are the most developed so far. The rural areas around Linden and Heidelberg were all mapped by me, the most developed ones are the ones on north of Linden, west of Hannah Hamlet.

-Description: Because the west coast has a stronger swell impact, this makes harbours on this part of the country more rare. However because the currents come from the ocean, which on it's way passes through the north of Decategia, a desert, those currents bring hot water to the shores, making the overall climate of the west coast hotter. On the other side of the country, on the east coast, the ocean swell is much weaker, allowing more harbours along the coast. However, because the mountains have a big influence on the climate, due to the wind currents blowing colder winds towards the east of the country, the east coast has a colder climate. On the south of the country, surrounded by mountains, lake Emma is on a particularly cold region of the country, as it is surrounded by mountains.
-Those climate features make bigger cities develop on the east coast, while other smaller, tourist cities develop on the west of the country. And on the lake surroundings, the coldest cities will be found.
+As we can see on the map, the western part of the country is mainly semi-arid while the east is tropical, and a little bit, in the south there are parts that are arid.

-{{territory application history and culture}}Casterline was the name of an Ingerish leader's wife, this colony was named after her, being named Casterlinia. Casterlinia was a colony of Ingerland for 256 years, and briefly colonized by a few nordic nations before the Ingerish colonisation, which decimated the native population, they invaded it with the intent of harvesting crops on the very fertile soil. This territory declared independence roughly 24 years ago, in 1999, which was declared under the condition that the country would be aligned with Ingerland. Due to the FSA influence and the Ingerish occupation, the overall culture and language of the country is simillar to Australian culture in real life, having simillar urban centers as Australia. This also made the language of the country Ingerish, with it's own dialect.

-As it was mentioned before, due to the strong Archantan culture and influence, the urban development is very simillar to FSA, having cities with smaller highrise centers and bigger suburbs. Due to the job opportunities and economic development of the East coast, achieved through maritime trade,  the east coast has the highest density of population, concentrated through the Jacksonville - New Heidelberg strip, an area with a lot of natural harbours. On the East and West plains, more on the inland parts, strong agriculture is present thanks to the fertile soil. On the lake side, smaller cities are present, with smaller sizes. Their economies is also smaller, being more dependant on extraction of natural resources like iron and stone and lumber industry. On the west coast, the only big city present is Westhaven, a stablishment originally from a nordic nation on a natural harbour that grew a lot in size due to the tourism economy.
