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) |
The climate will be fairly temperate, containing all four seasons, moderate temperatures, and moderate rainfall throughout the year. The eastern areas will be largely swampy, but will quickly turn to the rolling hills and forests as you move west, and in the southwest area, there will be lots of moderately-sized mountains.

A brief description of the territory demographics, economic development, land occupation, infrastructure and mapping style |
The east will be a lot more populated than the west, being situated closer to the coast and the city of Huntington. The immediate vicinity of large city centers will be generally lower-income than the suburbs, resembling the DC-Baltimore metropolitan area of Virginia, Maryland, Delaware, and Pennsylvania, USA. In the west, the towns (and a few cities) will mostly be middle class, with a lot of people commuting to and from Huntington for work. The economy of Dolania will be heavily focused on government in the east and north, and a lot of logging and mining in the south and west, with the railroads delivering goods from the mills and mines to the larger cities
There will be an extensive highway system, with lots of governmental money allocated to improving the infrastructure of the region, as well as well-developed public transportation within the large cities, but not extending far outside of that
The mapping style to be followed will be similar to that of the Eastern Coast of the United States
History & culture | |
---|---|
A brief description of the intended culture and language |
The state of Dolania was created out of territory formerly owned by Culpepper, Solelen, and Whitestone. After the capital district was created, the national government created the contract for a new state to the southwest of the capital, thus, Dolania was created. The language spoken is primarily English, however large minors of people speaking other languages are present, particularly in the larger cities' downtown areas. The culture is similar to that of the rest of the Federal States, due to their heavy ties to the capital.

This area here has been where I've done the majority of my mapping. It's still incomplete, I have to adjust the size of the city blocks to be smaller, and I've been steadily adding suburbs around the city. I'm from a rural area, so mapping in an urban area was a bit of a stretch, but I'm proud of it.
