Please fill in the information below to make a territory request.

	Territory ID and proposed name
	The Territory ID (from OpenGeofiction:Territories, e.g. AR123a) and proposed name of the country

UL20d - Ohemia (Move from AN143 - Ohemia)

	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)

The country will adhere to a semi-arid or continental climate, in accordance to Sector 20 (Central Ulethan Steppe).

Natural mapping from the North-west and South-west will also be somewhat extended.

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

Ohemia will have a HDI of ~0.85, and will be modelled similarly from Romania to Poland. The current nation is currently at 0.805.

The population will be around 30-35 million.

I do prefer if the Southern and Western borders looked more natural as Ohemia may have external influences from other nations, but it never would have been a colony. I am also uncertain on the position of the Ispelian exclave.

Mapping style: Mostly European. Inspirations include: Hamburg, Saint Petersburg, London, Paris, Black Sea Region (Turkey, Georgia), Brisbane, etc. Poorer regions will look like Siberian Cities. I intend to reuse some of my currently mapped cities, except for some that are beyond 'refurbishment'.

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

Ohemia will be using a pre-existent constructed language from the previous territory. It loosely uses Slavic and Caucasian influences, but is somewhat a priori. This fits well with Suria as a neighbour.

It uses a modified Latin script. The language is still developing and the orthography could particularly be extended, but I am content with it at the moment. It also uses Diphthongs as its own characters, with the archaic implementation on the right side (table below)

The culture adheres to Ekelan Chrisiticism as well as a cultural religion which is influenced from Mithraism but would considered to be like some Chinese syncretic religions in their own respective sense.

If any more information is required, feel free to contact me.

	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.

• Thank you for your application. I really like your concept and think it fits in well with the area regarding climate, language and economic development. For completeness' sake, please provide a rough sketch of your plans for the new territory (for which I highly recommend Help:Making_realistic_countries) before I can approve your application. Regarding changes to the southern and western border, those would be fine with me, but I'll consult with stjur as well. Regarding the Ispelian exclave, please reach out to user jak. If you seek assistance with the move, please reach out to me. Leowezy (talk) 19:05, 18 August 2022 (UTC)
