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

UL26d - Májar, officially the Májaran Republic

	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 territory will be a large valley, flanked by mountain ranges in the northwest, its entire eastern border, and in the west. The valley is shaped by a major river flowing towards the southern coast.

The territory's climate will be divided into four categories;

• A wetter and warmer climate on the southern coast.
• A wet but cold climate in the mountainous areas.
• A drier and milder climate on the northern coast compared to the south.
• A dry and hot climate in the central north.

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

The overall population would be around 20 to 30 million, around two-thirds of them would be settled in urban areas.

Around half of the land is arable, agriculture is a major economic sector. Tourism would also be important.

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

I have read a page where it says that the region's cultural target-theme would be Indian and/or Austronesian.

i would go for an Austronesian cultural theme like that of Taiwan or Northern Philippines.

	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.

Dear Ecchi Kei, thank you for your territory application. Your concept for the territory (climate, geography, culture) is very convincing and appropiate for the region. Your past mapping qualifies you for owning a territory. Before accepting your reuquest, I only have a few details to elaborate on and think about:

• please provide a rough sketch of your plans for the territory, most notably natural and human geography. Those plans are in no way binding for future mapping, but help to evaluate the concept for the territory. See also Help:Making_realistic_countries.
• please write a few sentences about the history, culture and envisioned economic status of Májar. What language(s) is/are spoken (conlangs or real-world languages)? Will there likely be a history of colonialisation, was the country always self-ruling, or could have been part of a larger empire? You mention agriculture is an important industry; does that mean Májar is a developing country, is it medium-income, or perhaps even a relatively rich nation?

After adressing those small questions, I am very confident your territory request will be approved. Cheers, Leowezy (talk) 09:13, 18 November 2022 (UTC)
