Hello Bulest, thank you for your territory application. A couple of comments:

• Please consult OpenGeofiction:Territory_application#East_Uletha and most importantly the referenced East Uletha Concept. This lays out some meta-framework for cultures and climates on the East Ulethan continent which territory applications need to conform with.
• I see that you have already started some practice mapping, which is commendable. To apply for an own territory, much more mapping examples will be needed however. Things you map in practice territories can be moved to your private territory with ease later on, so feel free to further develop your mapping skills in the practice territories.

Leowezy Hello,

I have read the page you have indicated. Concerning the landscapes, I put mountains and forests in the north because the territories in the north of the one I ask have forests. I also see on the map that the territory I'm asking is in a South Asian language area. However, would it be possible that the language is French? If it is not possible, is there a territory where it is possible? (I had seen on OpenGeofiction:Territories#Overview_Map that there was no imposed language)

Concerning the map links, I made other cities and villages, as well as highways/railways:

Hello Bulest. French speaking territories can be found in South-Eastern Tarephia (look around Broceliande), as well as in Southern Archanta. In the latter, there are also some large collab-projects with sub-territories (think US-states) being allocated to individual mappers. Furthermore, Franqueterre in West Uletha is supposed to kick-off as another collab project in the medium-term future. I'll ask some of my admin colleagues to chip on this as well.

Aside from Franqueterre which Leowezy mentioned, there is a small territory near it which can host a French culture - UL08k. Bixelkoven (talk) 10:46, 4 May 2023 (UTC)
