Hello Koziu, thank you for your application. A few comments:

• Your past mapping activity and quality qualifies you well for ownership of a private territory.
• There are two main issues with your territory application, they regard climate and culture. At OpenGeofiction:East Uletha you can view the East Uletha Concept. As you will see there, UL26c lies in very tropical climate. A European temperate climate would not be realistic at this latitude. Also, UL26 is intended for nations relating to a mostly "South Asian (Indian) and (mostly native) Austronesian" culture, as can be seen by the country of Majar for exmaple. This doesn't generally exclude the possibility of some Finnish-language-influence in the past as well, via colonialism or trade, however this doesn't seem to align with what you intended. There are however territory options in East Uletha that would be a good fit for Finnish language mapping and a temperate climate; have a look at sectors UL21, UL22, UL23, and UL25 in the East Uletha Concept and on the map and let me know if you find a territory there that suits your interests.
• You can sign any reply you post by writing four "~" at the end of your message. The string will be converted into a time-stamped signature after posting.

Looking forward to your reply, Leowezy (talk) 12:26, 17 May 2023 (UTC)

Hi, UL22c will be just good ^^ If possible, I would like to choose this country.

Thanks in advance and waiting for your response ;3

Hello Koziu,

I'm glad to hear that. In that case, I suggest we proceed as follows: please create a new territory application post for UL22c with updated content suited to the territory, it's neighbours and the framework laid out in the East Uletha Concept. Please also prepare a rough sketch of not just the geological but also the human geography; have a look at Help:Making realistic countries for some inspiration and guidance. Additionally, a little more background about the intended history and culture would be appreciated. It is understood that both the sketch map(s) and the info about history and culture can and likely will change throughout your mapping journey; but from experience it always is a great aide in the first steps of developing your nation and in hindsight everyone is happy to have done so ;) I will close this territory application and await your updated application post. Feel free to reach out in case of further questions. Cheers, Leowezy (talk) 14:27, 17 May 2023 (UTC)
