| 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 overall climate is very mild. Winters here would be very cold reaching temperatures of 10F/-12C. While the summer would be somewhat hot reaching an average temperature of 80F/27C. In terms of topography this country is very much flat. Little elevation changes here and there but nothing over 300 feet of elevation. Going over the colors on the map. Gray = railway, Green = forests/nature areas, Mint = proposed highest point, Purple = motorways, blue = rivers and bodies of water https://imgur.com/a/KNuIw27

| A brief description of the territory demographics, economic development, land occupation, infrastructure and mapping style |
To start off, my mapping style is very much from an American Midwestern perspective. While a big difference in my mapping is that I usually like to map somewhat smaller major cities. Neklomen the intended capital city and largest city will most-likely hold around 400 thousand residents. Think of your Milwaukees or your Saint Louises instead of your San Diegos and or San Antonios. The city would replace the current city of Kennsville. The infrastructure will be a bit different from your average American city in terms of motorways and such. I do not like clogging my cities with motorways and other large roadways. In 2018, my current project had many highways going right through its main city and I just feel like that was not the right move. Now there is one sort of spur around the city which I deem enough for now. Current downtown Neklomen is pretty bland and will be spiced up in this current location with new building and an actual downtown feel. Regarding land occupation, a lot of the proposed early development will be on Lake Leighton and in currently map sections outside of Kennsville. I want to have a big focus on forest preserves and natural areas first. I want to have a bigger emphasis on railways in the map as my current build has a lackluster system. Wauzekah will have a big focus on moving people from one country to the next. Many motorways and railways will take passengers through the region to major cities in the nation and to surrounding nations. In terms of economic development, Neklomen and the cities on lake will be an important factor to the development. That is where most of the population is planned to stay and where most of the jobs will lead too. Finally, most of the residents in the nation of considered white. The immigrants that found the region were mostly white and that is what stuck. Though everyone in Wauzekah is given equal rights and opportunities which has attracted people from different regions and descendants.

| A brief description of the intended culture and language |
There are two well known languages in the country of Wauzekah. One being the worldwide language of Ingerish. The other being one special to the Wauzekahian nation. That being Wauzekish. This is usually spoken by the natives here but would expand to larger groups in the nation. Religion is something that is not as popular in Wauzekah than most other nations in the Federal States. While the most of whom celebrate and participate in a religion are Christic, it is seen that only about 50% of the population thinks religion is important in their day to day lives. Wauzekah loves anything pig and that is why they are famous for their usage of pigs for food. They also fancy many types of pastas and noodles. Their most famous delicacy has to be their sushi which is taken from local lakes and imported into the country.
 | 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. |
https://opengeofiction.net/relation/985#map=9/-6.8179/128.0776&layers=B West Park has been in my possession since February 2018. A lot of the early mapping was brutal and has been redone.. Neklomen and the surrounding region as well Frankfort and Smalerd regions are planned to be transported out into this map. These two areas I would consider hold my best mapping. The mapping here also shows very Midwestern traits which is what much of this region is built off of.

A few quick comments and points of clarification:
- Note that, like the U.S., the Federal States are comprised of states, not separate nations. While each state has a fair amount of autonomy, the individual states are all part of the larger nation.
- Similarly, this state would be similar to a modern American state. You're welcome (and encouraged!) to have a robust history with native tribes, but like the modern U.S., tribes in modern times would likely be limited to particular pockets or smaller areas rather than having a significant statewide presence.
Since there are active neighboring states, I'd also like to get some of their input on these plans as well, so I'll hold the application open to see if they want to add anything. --TheMayor (talk) 15:36, 26 August 2022 (UTC)
