Castellán is the motherland of the Castellanese Language, which corresponds to real life Spanish. All mapping (taking away certain place names that might have foreign etymologies), is going to be made in Spanish, in all the territory of Castellán. Think about it more like the birthplace of the Spanish language rather than 'OGF:Spain'.


==Natural Mapping==
This territory was previously an owned territory by a single user, which means the country won't start anew. Despite that, the first stage of the collaboration will involve cleanup of the country, given many places are too similar to their counterparts in Spain. The goal of Castellán is to bring an original, but representative motherland for all Spanish-speaking cultures in the map, that represents the culture of the Spanish-speaking region, allowing for significant creativity from the contributors.


'''The natural mapping phase of Castellán has begun. Anyone who is interested in doing natural mapping of a region with a mediterranean climate, follow the instructions that will be given below.'''
==Coordinators==
The coordinators of Castellán are [[User:Huachachi|Huachachi]] ([https://opengeofiction.net/message/new/Huachachi message]), [[User:Martinawa|Martinawa]] ([https://opengeofiction.net/message/new/Martinawa message]) and [[User:sude|sude]] ([https://opengeofiction.net/message/new/sude message])


For better organisation, anyone who wants to map natural features should [https://opengeofiction.net/message/new/Martinawa contact Martinawa] for authorisation. In the message, you may show prior work you have done on natural landcover as an indication of your skills.
==Development Stages==
The first stage of the collaboration will be '''cleanup''' and '''planning''', where cleanup will be done and a draft for Castellán will be made. First stages will involve discussions about the coastline of the country (specially the eastern coast, that needs remodeling), its topology, hydrography, biogeography, and settlement structure (including main roads and cities). Any proposals will be welcome in that regard by any user interested in the project, that will end up in a vote to decide the final general shape of the country.


After you've been given authorisation, you will be given a georreferenced file with the orography sketched (shown below) to use as a base for the natural cover. '''Before starting landcover you should make a boundary area, with admin_level=4, in the area you want to work on.''' This might be used in the future for the administrative divisions of the country, so please be creative about it. The area marked should be between 25000 and 50000 square kilometers, roughly. The idea for the landcover is to indicate only non-agricultural landuses: that is: forests, scrubs, bare rock, cliffs, marshes, wetlands, and such. Do not use grass or farmlands, especially in the flatter areas, as these will be dealt with later in the development of the country, after the settlements have been decided. --[[User:Martinawa|Martinawa]] ([[User talk:Martinawa|talk]]) 22:50, 13 February 2022 (UTC)

After seeing all sent proposals and having reflected onto them and adapting to the new coast, I have made some temptative orography for Castellán as a base. The amount of detail shown is because this is procedurally generated (except for the rivers), but all mapping here shouldn't be followed very closely and treated more like a broad idea of what the country is going to be like, as things like scale and detail might just not be right for the size of the country given the features. The general idea, with a western plateau and parallel mountain ranges going roughly east to west, with graben-like plains in between. Placing is mostly inspired on the shape of the coastline. --[[User:Martinawa|Martinawa]] ([[User talk:Martinawa|talk]]) 01:10, 19 January 2022 (UTC)

:How high do you think the tallest mountains would be? Maybe that northern range could have a few noticeable "offshoots" or parallel ridges like the Alps, since it's the southernmost part of a large mountain range similar to them. Otherwise looks really nice, no complaints at all.--[[User:Lithium|Lithium-Ion]] ([[User talk:Lithium|talk]]) 01:20, 19 January 2022 (UTC)

The first stage mapping-wise will be the complete clean-up of the mapping of Castellán. All mapping previous to the setting of the collaborative stage is expected to be removed. The only mapping that will be pre-emptively conserved will be whatever is on the border with Mazan, specially land cover that spans both countries. Coastline is not to be changed either yet. --[[User:Martinawa|Martinawa]] ([[User talk:Martinawa|talk]]) 23:10, 18 December 2021 (UTC)

Castellán is the motherland of the Castellanese Language, which corresponds to real life Spanish. All mapping (taking away certain place names that might have foreign etymologies), is going to be made in Spanish, in all the territory of Castellán. Think about it more like the birthplace of the Spanish language rather than 'OGF:Spain'.

This territory was previously an owned territory by a single user, which means the country won't start anew. Despite that, the first stage of the collaboration will involve cleanup of the country, given many places are too similar to their counterparts in Spain. The goal of Castellán is to bring an original, but representative motherland for all Spanish-speaking cultures in the map, that represents the culture of the Spanish-speaking region, allowing for significant creativity from the contributors.

Coordinators
