Description: Because the west coast has a stronger swell impact, this makes harbours on this part of the country more rare. However because the currents come from the ocean, which on it's way passes through the north of Decategia, a desert, those currents bring hot water to the shores, making the overall climate of the west coast hotter. On the other side of the country, on the east coast, the ocean swell is much weaker, allowing more harbours along the coast. However, because the mountains have a big influence on the climate, due to the wind currents blowing colder winds towards the east of the country, the east coast has a colder climate. On the south of the country, surrounded by mountains, lake Emma is on a particularly cold region of the country, as it is surrounded by mountains.
Those climate features make bigger cities develop on the east coast, while other smaller, tourist cities develop on the west of the country. And on the lake surroundings, the coldest cities will be found.

On the middle of the country lay the Shawkee mountains, an indigenous name, which is a colder mountain range with higher heights, on it's southwest, the mountainrange countinues until the Lake Emma plains.
The coasts have more plains, with the east coast having the biggest plains on the entire country.
 | History & culture |
|---|---|
| A brief description of the intended culture and language |
Casterline was the name of a FSA leader's wife, this colony was named after her, being named Casterlinia. Casterlinia was a colony of FSA for 156 years, and briefly colonized by a few nordic nations before the FSA colonisation. This territory declared independence roughly 124 years ago, and is going through a process of intense development. Due to the FSA occupation, the overall culture and language of the country is simillar to Southern Archantan culture, having simillar urban development processes as FSA. This also made the language of the country English, with it's own dialect.

As it was mentioned before, due to the strong Archantan culture and influence, the urban development is very simillar to FSA, having cities with smaller highrise centers and bigger suburbs. Due to the job opportunities and economic development of the East coast, achieved through maritime trade, the east coast has the highest density of population, concentrated through the Jacksonville - New Heidelberg strip, an area with a lot of natural harbours. On the East and West plains, more on the inland parts, strong agriculture is present thanks to the fertile soil. On the lake side, smaller cities are present, with smaller sizes. Their economies is also smaller, being more dependant on extraction of natural resources like iron and stone and lumber industry. On the west coast, the only big city present is Westhaven, a stablishment originally from a nordic nation on a natural harbour that grew a lot in size due to the tourism economy.

| 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. |
https://opengeofiction.net/#map=13/-26.2472/166.1746&layers=B -> this was my first city mapped, it was mapped almost a month ago on Tierra Nueva, a blue territory
https://opengeofiction.net/#map=13/-37.0056/155.5247&layers=B -> Linden is the city I am actively working on, its twin city, Heidelberg, is also a city that is undergoing development, those are my main cities which I am working on. The areas near South Linden Lake are the most developed so far. The rural areas around Linden and Heidelberg were all mapped by me, the most developed ones are the ones on northern Linden, west of Hannah Hamlet.
