For the purposes of territory, user management and coordination, the OGF planet has been divided into regions. Each region is assigned to a different member of the admin team, that ''regional manager'' has wide discretion in how to subdivide, manage, assign, and vacate territories.
 
It is important to follow the procedures below. This simplifies the handling of the request for the admin team, which helps us to help you. Requests which do not follow the procedure take longer to process and may also be ignored. Always be sure to '''include the ID of the territory''' in the subject line of your message, for example ''Territory request: AR000a''.
 
If you don't know which territory you want, and would like us to make a recommendation, write a subject line ''Territory request: recommendation wanted - region'', and in the message text, tell us about which kind of country you want to develop (language, climate, culture etc).
 
The procedure for each region are listed below the map.

== Antarephia ==
The regional manager is Thilo, currently substituted by '''eklas''' (please send queries about territories to the [https://opengeofiction.net/user/admin admin inbox])
 
=== Rules for new users' first territories ===
Users may apply for a territory in ''Antarephia'' as long as they meet the following criteria:
* They have spent at least 14 days mapping in a [[OGF:Territories#Overview_Map|blue territory]] and can provide examples of original rural and urban mapping they have made;
* They don't have a history of rule-breaking on this website;
* They present a plan setting out the basic characteristics of the territory. The plan should include an overview of climate, topography and landscape of the country (preferably in the form of a sketch), as well as a description of the intended culture, language and political system. Antarephia is not directly inspired by any part of the real world, which means applications will be judged mainly based on how well they fit in with existing mapping in the area.
 
Applications should be titled as "Territory request - ANxxxx", where ''ANxxxx'' is the OGF code of the desired territory, as shown on the [[OGF:Territories#Overview_Map|overview map]], and sent to the [https://opengeofiction.net/user/admin admin inbox].
 
=== Rules for exchanging territories ===
* '''Users moving into Antarephia''' are asked to follow the instructions for getting a first territory, excluding having to spend 14 days in a blue zone.
* '''Users moving out of Antarephia''' are asked to follow the rules set by the moderator responsible for their new territory.
* '''Users looking to move within Antarephia''' are asked to notify the regional manager, who will assist with choosing a new territory and moving the existing creations.
 
=== Rules for upsizing and requesting additional territories ===
Requests for additional territories and upsizing current ones are judged individually, mainly based on quality of existing mapping, experience and history of behavior on the site. Users are expected to provide basic information about their plans for the requested territory or area.
 
=== Rules for downsizing and splitting territories ===
Users looking to downsize their territories or divide them into several smaller ones are asked to notify the regional manager before doing so.
 
=== Release of inactive territories ===
After 120 days of inactivity, users will be sent a reminder message. If they don't respond to it by the date specified in the message (usually 30 days later), their territories will be withdrawn. Users may also be asked to confirm their activity by uploading an amount of new mapping (as specified by the moderator) in order not to have the territory withdrawn. Territories with very little original mapping can be withdrawn immediately after 120 days of the owner's inactivity.
 
Users may keep their territory during a specified time of absence as long as they notify the regional manager. The maximum time a territory can be paused for is one year.

=== Rules for new users' first territories ===
{{:{{BASEPAGENAME}}/DidYouKnow}}
==== Beginner territories ====
{{:{{BASEPAGENAME}}/UsefulLinks}}</td>
 
New users may request their '''first territory''' after a short period of mapping in the Blue territories. It will be granted "no questions asked" provided
# the user has no history of rule-breaking (vandalism, sockpuppeting, etc.)
# the territory being requested is classified as "beginner" (see green territories on the map at the right); these are generally smaller than 10000 sq km in size. These include:
#* Sub-territories within the [[OGF:Lorotoban|Lorotoban]] AR001b collaborative territory: a low GDP tropical island with poor infrastructure and specific language requirements
#* AR050-''nn'' or AR099''x'' territories - these have much less stringent requirements on theme, language and culture but as such should be largely considered a proving ground, not a location of long term country development
# the user is only clearly requesting one territory - this rule exists because there is a frequent problem of users requesting multiple territories before admin has a time to respond - have patience.
 
For new users who feel up to taking on more than a "Beginner" territory, they should follow the same procedure as outlined below, "Other Territories".

==== Other territories ====
[[File:Archanta-themes-base.svg|thumb|Themes]]
New users may request their first territory after building up experience on OGF, and is subject to the following points:
# No history of rule-breaking
# Users may be asked to undertake a project to demonstrate their readiness to take on the territory
# Outline a plan for the territory (culture, language, climate), appropriate for the continent and neighbouring territories.
# No other territory request in process
 
=== Rules for exchanging, upsizing, or downsizing territories ===
 
There are no special rules for exchanging, upsizing or downsizing territories. Send a request to admin describing the change you would like and this will be handled on a case by case basis.
 
=== Rules for additional territories ===
 
Additional territories are held to strict standard. Currently mapped territory must be at least 50% 'full' and show evidence of verisimilitude, completeness, and creativity. Likewise there should be a well considered plan for the requested territory.
 
=== Rules for release of owned territories ===
 
Users who are inactive for more than 3 months will be notified and territories released after the given deadline, unless editing resumes.
 
If users are not making visible progress on existing territory, and/or cannot provide a long-term plan, they may be asked to downsize, either by subdividing their territory and abandoning part, or by moving to a new, smaller territory. Users are also expected to be flexible for ongoing rationalisation of the continent, to increase [[OGF:Verisimilitude|realism]].
 
Wide latitude will be granted for leaves-of-absence in the event these are negotiated ahead of time.
 
== Tarephia ==
 
The current regional manager is: '''BMSOUZA''' (please send queries about territories to the [https://opengeofiction.net/user/admin admin inbox], being sure to name the territory by its OGF:id, e.g. TA000a)
 
Have in mind Tarephia is something like Latin America+Africa. So, nothing about superpowers, different cultures, etc.
 
=== Rules for new users' first territories ===
 
* Have in mind the climate in Tarephia is something like Africa and Latin America. But it does not mean you can create a snowy territory based in snowy Kilimandjaro, hehehe. Sub Tropical, Wet Tropical, Dry Tropical, things like this, only.
* Please, when asking for a territory, explain your ideas: history, culture, language, landcover, as much details as possible. This way, the admins can help you with suggestions where your country can fit well in Tarephia
 
=== Rules for exchanging, upsizing, or downsizing territories ===
 
* Please, send a message explaining why. The continental coordinator will be happy to talk about it.
 
=== Rules for additional territories ===
 
* Usually this option is open only to advanced users, but we can talk.
* Your first territory needs at least 50% 'full' mapped and show evidence of verisimilitude, completeness, and creativity.
 
=== Rules for purge of owned territories ===
 
* Users who are inactive for more than 3 months will be reminded of their possession. Users who are inactive for more than 6 months will be evicted.
* Users who are not making visible progress on existing territory, may be asked to downsize, either by subdividing their territory and abandoning part, or by moving to a new, smaller territory.
 
== East Uletha ==
The current regional manager is: '''[[User:Eklas|eklas]]''' (please send queries about territories to the [https://opengeofiction.net/user/admin admin inbox])
 
=== Rules for new users' first territories ===
Users can apply for a territory in ''East Uletha'' as long as they meet the following criteria:
 
* They have spent at least 14 days mapping in a [[OGF:Territories#Overview_Map|blue territory]] and can provide examples of original rural and urban mapping they have made;
* They don't have a history of rule-breaking on this website;
* They present a plan setting out the basic characteristics of the territory. The plan should include an overview of climate, topography and landscape of the country (preferably in the form of a sketch), as well as a description of the intended culture, language and political system. East Uletha is broadly based on Eurasia, which means applications based on European or Central and East Asian themes are more likely to be accepted.
 
Applications should be titled as "Territory request - ULxxx", where ''ULxxx'' is the OGF code of the desired territory, as shown on the [[OGF:Territories#Overview_Map|overview map]], and sent to the [https://opengeofiction.net/user/admin admin inbox].
 
=== Rules for exchanging territories ===
* '''Users moving into East Uletha''' are asked to follow the instructions for getting a first territory, excluding having to spend 14 days in a blue zone.
* '''Users moving out of East Uletha''' are asked to follow the rules set by the moderator responsible for their new territory.
* '''Users looking to move within East Uletha''' are asked to notify the regional manager, who will assist with choosing a new territory and moving the existing creations.
 
=== Rules for upsizing and requesting additional territories ===
Users looking to expand their territory need to present 50 km<small><sup>2</sup></small> of land mapped in moderate detail for every 1,000 km<small><sup>2</sup></small> requested. Owners of very small territories (under 10,000 km<small><sup>2</sup></small>) need to have 50% of their current area mapped in high detail regardless of the area requested. When asking for an additional territory, these users follow the instructions for getting a first territory, excluding having to spend 14 days in a blue zone. The area of a territory can be calculated using the [https://tile.opengeofiction.net/util/relation_area.html online relation tool].
 
The acquisition of more territory is subject to approval of the regional manager. Quality of existing mapping and history of behavior on the site will be taken into consideration.
 
=== Rules for downsizing and splitting territories ===
Users looking to downsize their territories or divide them into several smaller ones are asked to notify the regional manager before doing so.
 
=== Release of inactive territories ===
After 90 days of inactivity, users will be sent a reminder message. If they don't respond to it by the date specified in the message (usually 30 days later), their territories will be withdrawn. Users may also be asked to confirm their activity by uploading an amount of new mapping (as specified by the moderator) in order not to have the territory withdrawn.
 
Users may keep their territory during a specified time of absence as long as they notify the regional manager. The maximum time a territory can be paused for is one year.

<td style="vertical-align:top;">
The current regional manager is: '''[[User:Stjur|Stjur]]''' (please send queries about territories to the [https://opengeofiction.net/user/admin admin inbox])
 
West Uletha is similar to real-world Europe, as well as parts of the Middle East. This means that West Uletha is the place from which most languages have spread throughout the OGF world, including [[Ingerish]] (English), [[Franquese]] (French), [[Castellanese]] (Spanish), [[Mazanic]] (Arabic) etc. To keep the cultural coherence of the continent, possible cultures for requestable territories can be found by clicking on them on the overview map to the right, as well as maps with geohistorical guidelines on [[OGF:West Uletha]] - however we're open for other proposals, including conlangs for example.
 
West Uletha is meant for more advanced users or users with a background in fictional cartography, who can map more individually, at their own pace. This doesn't mean that collaboration between neighbors is not wished - to have smoother transitions between West Ulethan territories, neighbors should collaborate in border regions in terms of topography, hydrology, culture etc.

West Uletha is split into 17 sectors (as shown on the clickable map to the right), numbered from 1-17, which designate areas with cultural similarities. These can be identified in the first two digits of West Ulethan territory codes (for example: UL'''17'''x is a territory in sector 17, the ''Iviran Coast'' region).
 
Users can request territories in West Uletha if they meet the following criteria:
 
* '''For new users:''' The user has mapped for at least 7 days on a [[OGF:Territories#Overview_Map|blue territory]] of his choice, showcasing his mapping style and skill in both urban and rural mapping.
* The user has no history of rule-breaking (vandalism, sockpuppeting, etc.);
* The user plans on basing his mapping on European or Middle Eastern cultures (or, in special cases, has created an isolated culture which would fit into the cultural landscape of Western Uletha) - see [[OGF:West Uletha]] for culture suggestions for available territories;
* The user uses the [[FAQ#Mapping basics|JOSM editor]] (in special cases this can be neglected);
 
When requesting a territory, the message should include '''a short description of language, culture and preferred climate''' of the territory, as well as OGF codes (e.g. UL00x) of territories which would come under consideration. If the proposal fits in West Uletha and the user meets the requirements, it will be accepted directly. If not, it will be followed by counter proposals from the regional manager.
 
=== Rules for additional territories ===
 
For additional territory requests, you generally must present a realistic, original and contiguous zone of high detail in each territory you own, covering 10% of your territory's area. For advanced users and users with potential, this rule could be neglected.
 
=== Rules for exchanging, upsizing, or downsizing territories ===
 
If you want to exchange your territory or move it to Western Uletha, as well as within the continent, you need to follow the instructions given in the territory request segment above.
 
If you want to exchange your territory or move it away from Western Uletha, contact the admin responsible for the area you want to move to. They will provide you with information on how to proceed.
 
Upsizing territories in Western Uletha generally works under the same rules as additional territory requesting, see the segment above. Adjacent territories can be united with the approval of the regional manager.
 
Downsizing or splitting up territories does not have any requirements except the approval of the regional manager.
 
=== Rules for purge of owned territories ===
 
Users who have not/barely made any edits in 5 months will be reminded of their possession. If they remain inactive for one more month, they will be evicted.
 
Territories of advanced West Ulethan mappers will be marked for withdrawal after one year of complete inactivity.
 
Users who don’t make a visible progress in mapping their territories or struggle managing it as a whole will be asked to either downsize or move their mapping to a smaller territory.

Sierra Tourism Poster from the 1940s

The State of Sierra (Castellanese: Estado de Sierra) is a state is the western Federal States. It is one of the largest states in terms of area, but more sparsely populated. The state is known for its landscape consisting of the Sierras, wide, open high plains and plateaus, desert areas and rivers. It borders Tauhon in the west, Clamash to the south, Riopoderos and to the southeast, Apawiland.

Sierra was first settled around the year 800, had vibrant Native Archantan cultures, settlements and even some cities by 1000-1200. Sierra was explored by the Castellanese from around 1530, though primarily from 1650 onward. The first settlements sprang up around the rivers, primarily in the west. Sierra became a possession of the FSA from 1841, and a territory in 1858. Statehood was achieved in April 1872.
