Please fill in the information below to make a territory request.

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

User: AnimationSky

Territory Code: AN142i

Proposed Name: Reaskuskjo

	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)

Link for climate and major routes (road/rail) and major city plans here -> https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1LWprtlszjzJkWN4JFKGZx-l5aPDcFf3c?usp=sharing

Climate: A significant portion of Reaskuskjo will be of the Cfb Oceanic climate Type. In the north, humidity from the rivers and warmer temperatures allow for a Cfa Humid Subtropical climate type, and cooler temperatures and higher elevations in the southeast regions of the country allow for a Cfc Subpolar Oceanic climate type.

Topography: The topography of Reaskuskjo will adhere to the plans for Central Antarephia. There is the tail end of the large central mountain range on the east side of the country with elevations between 1-2km, and a smaller range exists on the northwest border of the country with Jorisko, with elevations between 0.5-1km.

Hydrology: The current hydrology will be preserved as it already conforms with the plans for Central Antarephia.

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

Reaskuskjo, for all intents and purposes, can be split into two countries as seen in the Major routes & cities plan. The western portion has a much higher HDI, GDP PPP, and population, with HDI and GDP PPP figures resembling that of Norway. The western half of the country has a population of 6,000,000 people. The eastern half of the country will be more akin to Bosnia and Herzegovina in terms of HDI and GDP PPP. The east side will have a population of 2,000,000 people. Average figures for HDI are 0.913, and the average GDP PPP is $62,724. Reaskuskjo has a total population of 8,000,000 people. Reaskuskjo will be a flawed democracy that, while mostly democratic, still suffers with mild corruption and unfair treatment and equity, specifically with the eastern portion of the country. I plan to map Reaskuskjo as a Scandinavian styled country, and the country will have an administrative region system similar to that of Sweden.

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

Language & culture: Reaskuskjo will use the same conlang (Sjéparuso) as neighbouring Jorisko. Culture is also quite similar as intellects are quite highly favoured in society, however rail transit is not sought after quite as much. The main mode of transit will be personal vehicles, however public transport and personal alternatives such as mopeds, bicycles, and scooters are also relatively popular, especially in the western half of the country.

History: Reaskuskjo as it is today actually consists of two countries that were seperate up until the mid 20th century. When the eastern country discovered various precious materials such as gold, silver, and other notable ores such as uranium in the mountains, Reaskuskjo decided to forcefully invade the country to harvest and exploit these resources. Tensions between the two countries had grown slowly over the century, and this was the tipping point for Reaskuskjo to take over. The former capital was sieged, and the government was overthrown. The decision to annex the former country into Reaskuskjo was made shortly after, and gained popular support as the government promised to preserve the environment and keep rivers clean, as well as bring economic development to the area. The former government had been notorious for being extremely corrupt, and treating citizens poorly. Many feared that careless mining operations in the mountains would cause the rivers to become polluted, so the citizens welcomed the new government easily. Unfortunately, wealth equity between the two halves still prospers today, and the eastern economy has barely grown. The Reaskuskjo government does enough to keep the east from revolting, but not enough to improve life conditions to the level of the western half.

	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.

I intend for Reaskuskjo to be a replacement for my current territory, Oronotia (AR120-52), which is a state in the FSA. While I do not have any examples of European style mapping, I do have examples of natural mapping that will be used in Reaskuskjo.

	Discussion
	Discussion for clarification & decision

After having a couple days to carefully think about some of these plans, I wanted to clarify that the highway plan is heavily subject to change and will most likely see a lot of redundant and parallel routes downgraded and/or removed entirely. All of the motorways will remain unchanged though.

Thank you once again for your consideration, and if you require any further clarification or have any further questions, please let me know and I will respond ASAP.
