Mountains along the border with Gann, with some of them extending to the south. Northern Yagualpan will feature several rivers, with the existing ones near the Grand Bay (Gran Bahía) in the north being slightly modified to flow from new mountains. It will feature a humid subtropical climate (Cfa) on the coastal and inland areas, with a subtropical highland climate (Cwb) near the mountains.

| A brief description of the territory demographics, economic development, land occupation, infrastructure and mapping style |
Yagualpan will have a total population of around 10 to 13 million people, with the majority of the population residing on the nation’s coast or the rivers of the north. Due to the urban concentration on the coast, it will have many port cities and a large focus on international trade.
The capital of Yagualpan is Piernita, which has a population of 2.9 million living in the city proper and at least 5 million in its metro area. Its largest city is Calijo in the north with 3.7 million living in the city and about at least 8 million in the metro area.

 | History & culture |
|---|---|
| A brief description of the intended culture and language |
Originally inhabited by several indigenous peoples before Castellanese settlers landed in Calijo in 1577. Yagualpan gained independence in 1802, and is now a developed nation with a thriving economy, mostly based on trade as well as tourism, services, and agriculture. The most spoken language in Yagualpan is Castellanese with Ingerish being spoken as well as a minority language near the border with Gann. The culture of Yagualpan will be mostly based off of Latin American/colonial Spanish culture, as well as a dash of neighboring influence in the region that Yagualpan is located in.

I originally did the bulk of my past mapping in a beginner territory known as Kemetria: https://opengeofiction.net/#map=10/13.1724/-109.3552&layers=5
San Andres: https://opengeofiction.net/#map=12/12.9355/-109.2666 In-progress but significantly developed city. One of my main areas of focus in the territory.
Serenidad: https://opengeofiction.net/#map=13/13.1376/-109.7876 Also in-progress but still somewhat developed. Serenidad was one of the first areas I primarily mapped using the JOSM editor (the other cities were mostly done in ID.)
Delrey Valley: https://opengeofiction.net/#map=12/13.2846/-109.6254 Main agricultural area with a few small to medium settlements along the rivers.
While I originally used the ID editor, I have became well acquainted to the JOSM editor.
