AR120-46 - Wychelle
 | 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) |
Wychelle will be modelled after Northwestern US States such as Montana, Idaho, and Oregon. The climate will resemble a temperature albeit somewhat drier inland state that has a mixture of pine forests, deciduous forests, river wetland areas, and drier mountainous regions.
Topography will follow a general slope from the mountains/hills to the west with Clamash, to the flat riverplains to the east of the Akogama River. Forest areas shown in the sketch map outline the major areas of elevation throughout the state. The northern bulb of the state contains some of the most elevated terrain.
The landscape will be a involve the blending of densely wooded areas to patchwork agricultural fields and pastures in flatter areas. Agriculture will be more present in the flatter eastern half of the state, whilst the western half will be dominated by the hills and forests of the range.

| A brief description of the territory demographics, economic development, land occupation, infrastructure and mapping style |
Wychelle will be a mainly rural, agricultural and manufacturing state, similar to Montana and Idaho. With a population of roughly 1.5 million, the majority of residents will live in the Akogama City-Barstone metropolitan area, with roughly 350,000 people. The state capital, Artonsville, will have a population of 200,000 people. The third city, Cadastral, will have a population of 50,000 people. The rest of the population will be dispersed mainly throughout the southeast, where flat land is most available for agricultural farms and townships.
The state's economy will be mainly focused on agricultural production and export. This is mainly due to the climate and wide range of arable land. Light manufacturing around the major cities will also be a major economic bastion. In some areas, ore and mineral mining will be present, such as the foothills.
The FS-81 will follow southwards from Saint Eustace, through Artonsville, to Akogama City. The FS-40 will link from Clamash to Akogama City.
The mapping style will be reflective of natural mapping seen in Northwest US States.

 | History & culture |
|---|---|
| A brief description of the intended culture and language |
Culturally, Wychelle will be reminiscent of the rural, "cowboy" states such as Wyoming, etc. Although the cities are well-developed and populated, the dominance of rural lifestyle in the culture is still present.
The local indigenous language and culture will be reflective of the real-world Cheyenne peoples.
I have decided to the use the name "Wychelle", originally used for one of my old states. If the city on Lake Beautouis continues to be called Wychelle too, justification can be made where the city was named after the state, or vice-versa.

I would also ask that I could withdraw my ownership of Teluktebu (AR005). If this request is accepted, I would like to keep my current projects more limited which will enable to work more consistently between them. Arlo (talk) 04:06, 23 December 2022 (UTC)
