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

AR120-13 - Semlacova

	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 similar to the Pine Barrens in New Jersey. The summers will be hot and humid when the winters are cold. In fact, the humidity of the summers will be very high in the bay region due to the effect that bays naturally have on humidity. The topography will be mostly flat except for the far west side which will include some mountainous terrain derived from New Carnaby. The landscape will take inspiration from the Delmarva Peninsula and the Jersey Shore. Much of the area surrounding the bay will be dry and out by the mountains, it will feel like Kentucky or West Virginia.

I would like the highway system to be something like this: (red = interstate highway, blue = state limited access highway):

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

The name Semlacova comes from the Bosnian "zemlja rakova", which means "land of crabs". The largest export in Semlacova, is, you guessed it, crabs. The northern part of the bay (Foxwells Point) will be urbanized while most of the southern parts (Sinedell, Worthing) will feel much less urbanized. The area away from the bay will be mostly rural except for the areas surrounding Rockwall and Lebanon which will be mostly suburban and urban.

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

Semlacova's primary language is English, although there are some areas where Bosnian is also spoken.

	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 map a lot more on my local client, but I haven't figured out how to migrate this to a web server.

• Hello, Amicharski! Please be noted that using Bosnian in the territory you are requesting isn't really the best idea. The three South Slavic languages currently present on OGF are all located here, in the region of Egalia, and they are Serbian, Croatian and Slovenian. There's no Bosnian state either, nor would it make really sense to have such a country as a colonizer. I would highly suggest from refraining the usage of Bosnian in this state you are requesting. If you have any questions regarding the language, feel free to contact me. Good luck with the application. Bixelkoven (talk) 20:58, 9 March 2023 (UTC)
