UL11b - Erin

	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)

I will retain or reroute a few geographical features that were already there (e.g a few rivers and the large mountain range Edit: Just found out that that's a forest, so I guess I will convert it into mountains?) . Most of the country will be plains, farmland, meadow with a few national parks and forests. In the centre of the country there will be a Lake district with large lakes and marshland. In the east, there is a large mountain range. In the north, there is a smaller mountain range. The two largest cities, Ain and Rurtach, are on the coast. The climate is mild and temperate.

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

The country is mostly native Erinak Caeltic but in recent years has seen immigration from other Ulethan states such as Lechia and Suria. The country is quite well economically, but it has some poor neighbourhoods. The mapping style is almost entirely based on Ireland (its IRL counterpart).

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

I plan that it was settled by the Caelts in prehistoric times, and was later conquered by Ingerland (if i have permission for this), but has gained its independence in the 1900s. However, a dictatorship ruled the country from the 1930s until the 1980s. The people of Erin mostly speak Ingerish because the Erinak language was made illegal to speak in the south during Ingerish colonisation. The Erinak language is spoken mostly in the north, but it is mandatory in schools in Erin. Erin is also very heavily Christic.

	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.

Ain City is probably the best of my work. Rurtach is worse quality because I made it when it was new. The suburbs of Vincentstown and Glasmullin were made more recently, and are much higher quality than central Rurtach. Also a note: Until recently I have done most of my editing in the iD editor which I am aware is not allowed in a territory application. I mostly did this because of how small Erin is, but I am currently transitioning to JOSM, which is better suited for the larger size of UL11b.
