UL15h - Maslinavia

	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)

Climate - Maslinavia's climate is very similar to that of the Carpathians, as in mild winters, and plenty of rain during the spring that can supply the bountiful farmlands of Maslinavia.

Topography - Maslinavia's topography is also similar to the Carpathians near the Surian border, with high forest-covered mountains and hills covering much of the border, with only the west and eastern borders being flatter and way more adequate to farming. The centre of Maslinavia closely resembles Hungary's Szabolcs-Szatmár-Bereg County, because it is somewhat of a transition between to forested mountains of the south, and the Egalsko Lake to the North. The regions near the lake will closely mimic Hungary's Lake Balaton and its surrounding towns and countryside.

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

The population of Maslinavia is very rural (most likely 60% rural), with most of the population coming from the countryside and the small villages that inhabit the landscape.

Maslinavia's cities will be small to medium sized, and even the capital city is quite small with only a population of around 300,000 (inspired by Ljubljana and Debrecen). Most of Maslinavia's main cities will have old towns in a baroque style, these cities would also have been home to tons of Khruschevkas.

The Demographics of Maslinavia will very mixed between three main cultures, Surian, Zalivnian, and whatever OGF's Hungarian is, with Zalivnian being just a little more dominant throughout Maslinavia.

Maslinavia would have developed economically like Czechoslovakia or Hungary during the cold war, with many economic policies being implemented that stunted Maslinavia's growth heavily and increased corruption in the government, a problem that would be solved during the 1980s with the re-implementation of the King and his royal family which brought western economic policies and funding from nations like Kalm, the FSA, and Franqueterre.

Maslinavia would have road networks that resemble that of Hungary, and with rail infrastructure that is lackluster in the rural regions, but the opposite in the cities.

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

Maslinavia's culture is inspired by a mix of Russian, Hungarian, and Serbian (mainly in Vojvodina).

Maslinavia was originally an independent kingdom, but that was until the Surians would invade and conquer Maslinavia for better access to the Egalsko in the north. Maslinavia would later become independent again during OGF's version of the Russian Revolution, and it would become a kingdom yet again until the Second World War when Maslinavia would become a socialist puppet state to Suria. During the 1980s, Maslinavia would undergo the Maslinavian Revolution, in which a newly independent kingdom would be re-established and the later reforms that were funded by the west would bolster the Maslinavian economy to being comparable to today's Austria.

	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.
