Territory ID and proposed name | |
---|---|
The Territory ID (from OpenGeofiction:Territories, e.g. AR123a) and proposed name of the country |
UL22c - United Federation of Ogesten
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) |
In the western part of the country, mountains with numerous river springs and a dam lake between the two largest peaks. In the central part of the country, a large artificial lake used to stop possible floods in front of the national capital and other towns. On the southern coast, numerous coastal lakes similar to those on the Polish coast. Eastern and southern skerry-type coast. Temperate European climate.

The "all-in-one" map: (Without industry and mining map. All symbols meaning in link above)
Human geography | |
---|---|
A brief description of the territory demographics, economic development, land occupation, infrastructure and mapping style |
An industrial country, based on the extraction of oil and heavy metal ores. Agriculture prevailing in the central-east part of the country. Population of cities on the maps above
History & culture | |
---|---|
A brief description of the intended culture and language |
East Scandinavian culture (areas of Finland), Finnish language.
The boundaries we know today were created at the turn of the 18th and 19th centuries, during the Industrial Revolution. The colonial break-up brought most of the oil and ore deposits within the boundaries of Ogesten (today the United Federation of Ogesten). Massive industrialisation and mining development resulted in economic growth based on exports of fuel, petroleum, hydrocarbons and precious metals. In the second half of the twentieth century, the name was changed to the United Federation of Ogesten and the former counties were given autonomy along the lines of the US. After the economic recovery in the post-war era, the country experienced further economic growth, which had a positive impact on the quality of infrastructure and general living standards. This state of affairs continues to this days.
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 updated submission. Here are my comments:
- Most importantly: For your plans for the territory and its sketch(es), please also consider existing mapping in neighbouring territories, most importantly topography. As you can see, all four neighbours already create a consistent topography for the region which UL22c would need to at least somewhat fit into. You are free to redo every pre-existing mapping you find in your territory (if that really is your desire), but the geography of neighbouring territories must match up. In your sketch, there are mountains in the east and low lands in the west, while all neighbouring territories would demand the opposite layout from UL22c to stay consistent.
- The sketches you provided are nicely done, but they don't really match up with each other yet. For example, the highways are uninfluenced by the massive mountain range in the east (cutting straight through them at high points) and the borders of the administrative divisions also don't seem to correspond to the topography in any way. Further more, one of the most important factors for human settlement is missing: rivers. Hence the location of cities is also unrelated to the geography. After considering the comment above and rethinking the territory's overall geography, I would again advice you to have a look at Help:Making_realistic_countries and carefully follow the steps there, producing one large sketch containing major mountains, then rivers, then cities and then highways. Again, I don't mean to obstruct your mapping enthusiasm, but these first planning steps really are crucial for your future mapping success.
- Please adjust the written physical geography section. The climate and description of the geography doesn't match the new territory.
