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

AR021 - Oramia (Derived from Latin oram meaning coast - a new, better suited name)

	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)

Physical geography is similar to that of Australia's, getting continually more hostile until the border is reached. The coast features lush terrain with snowy mountains (Like Mt. Kosciuzco in Australia) around the capital in the east, though at lower elevation it is quite hot during the summer in that east region. About 60 km from the coast, terrain becomes similar to that of the Mallee. Bushland and scrub along a river become the norm.

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

There will be two large cities, based around colonial trading ports. Then, a smaller capital around the mountains. There is also an outback mining town, and a series of copper mines closer to the coast that are small towns. These will be mostly historic sites. The majority of the population live in cities, now, and the faming industry is dying. Cities are now growing at a rapid rate.

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

Ingerish Colonialists arrived in the area in 1790, and trading was done across multiple ports until a major road was constructed later. The land was travelled across by camels until a majority of settlers ended up settling down in a location. The last 3 people, due to lack of supplies, all died in the harsh climate of World's End, to dehydration. This is why the border was agreed upon at that point, as exploring further was condemned and seen unnecessary. The international highway to other countries would go around this desolate area, through townships and cost of a new road was deemed useless. The country became independent and the borders were made official in 1900. The cities grew into commercial hubs, the second largest attracting many expats who study there, as an education hub and a location for professional development. The other larger city became a trading port that has rail lines throughout the country to mines and many, many towns. The freight rail becomes a very essential part of the 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.

I created Calkarra in The Outback. It is in beginner territories.[1]
