My proposed state would have a climate that would have warm/hot summers and chilly but bearable winters. Along the border with AR120-08 is plenty of farmland. To the east is a hilly area with elevations maxing at about 200 meters or 650 feet, for this area I would use central Virginia as a reference. Then further east of that a transition to flatter forests with scattered large patches of farmland, in this area I would use Southeastern Pennsylvania and eastern Virginia for reference. In the northeast corner of the state, there is some fertile farmland, then for the eastern coast, I would just generally base it off of the coasts of the east coast between Connecticut and Virginia. https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1011525873477890098/1085295094036430919/Web_capture_14-3-2023_1582_opengeofiction.net.jpeg Sorry for the poor image quality, don't know what happened.

| A brief description of the territory demographics, economic development, land occupation, infrastructure and mapping style |
Outside of the largest cities, my state would have a primarily white population, especially in the western half. Within the large cities though, there is a significant population of black, and Hispanic people. 9.5% of the population lives below the poverty line, though most of this is within the cities. Many of the state's population are descendants of Schwaldian, and Slavonian, immigrants. The state was formerly a large producer of cotton, thread, and steel, however, like most of the region, these industries began to dissipate in the 20th century. These days the state's primary industries are pharmaceutics, healthcare, fishing, and agriculture. They also export lots of these goods to other nations through a major port along the Bluegill River. Main Highways through the state are FS-1 and 11, along with a spur route to Praxton and a semi loop around the proposed capitol city. https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1011525873477890098/1085289418136498226/Web_capture_14-3-2023_152044_opengeofiction.net.jpeg - Image shows major cities along with Motorways and Main roads.
 | History & culture |
|---|---|
| A brief description of the intended culture and language |
The state was originally settled in the 17th century by Ingerish settlers. During the revolutionary war, Ponquin was instrumental because of it's mass production of firearms. After the civil war some of the state's major industries began leaving the state for bigger, more attractive states. Today, the state is still home to a few of these industries but not many, but since then new industries have appeared and helped the state to grow.
Ponquin's primary language is Ingerish like most of the country however, Schwaldian is a very common second language.

I've done a few small villages within Michisaukee... some have gone better than others.
Also have some random little edits in a few places.
Did two towns in the New User Zone as well, but it looks like some of it has gotten ruined..
I also have a few surviving edits in Wilthamshire but nothing real notable
