There will be many small provinces in Orangabara; each being named after the state capital/capital city. Most of the provinces and urban areas will be along the coast (east) of the small country, including the capital and largest city. (names tbd)

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

The population of the country is around 10 million, and is broken down as follows:

- 45% are Rhododactylian and Ingerish, while the rest are native Orangabaran

- 70% speak Ingerlish, 24% speak Orangabar and native languages, and 5% speak other (Franquese, Catellanese, etc.)

The people of Orangabara will mostly speak Ingerish and have a culture and mapping style similar to Rhododactylia. The economy is primarily reliant on farming tourism centered around the densly populated coastal regions. Orangabara City is planned be the capital and an important port for international trade into the country. The mountainous regions near the border will be mostly uninhabited, exempt from the occasional village and native land reserve.

Motorways will follow the coast, running from the southern border of Lorredion to the northern border with Barohu.

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

- Orangabara was inhabited by the native Orangabaran people, that were undisturbed by the outside world for thousands of years.

- Ingerish settlers made landfall in Orangabara, and established a port for easier trade to Uletha and Tarephia. Orangabara became an important Ingerish vacation and farming colony.

- After the decline of Ingerish power, Orangabara was unfairly incorporated into the country of Rhododactylia as an overseas port territory in 1961.

- Orangabara gained independence from Rhododactylia after an overwhelming 97% approval in an 1995 independence referendum.

	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.

here is some past mapping I made in Rhododactylia:

Seagull City: https://opengeofiction.net/#map=15/-11.2687/170.8679&layers=B In progress coastal city. It is my main focus in the territory as of now :D

I mapped Seagull City and the surrounding farms, and my friends mapped Siphis and Aniram nearby!
