{{territory application physical geography}}
Guai (oudated Ingerish spelling ''Gwigh'') derives from pre-Taukan root ''Guo'' (/gwo/), possibly meaning "fertile plain", and ''-ai'' suffix denoting a region or a country, hence, "Land/Region of the fertile plain". Historically speaking, Guai was only the central plain located mostly astride Urán and Astel Cantons. Guai has no official name. Consequently, it is referred just as ''Guai'' for all official purposes.
The majority of the southern part of the territory it’s taiga with small mountain ranges that reach up to 1200m, in the north of the country there are glaciers and most of the land is tundra with a very rugged coastline full of fjords, meanwhile the center of the country is very mountainous, thanks to the Hjörsk mountain range, in which there are glaciers in which most of the country's rivers are born.

Politics in Guai operates under a framework laid out in the Constitution of Guai. First written in 1848, it made official the system which had been Guai's for over 350 years: a unitary directorial republic. The Constitution was amended many times such as in 1862 to enact universal male suffrage, in 1912 to extend this right to women or 1926 when The National Council's term was changed from four to five years.
{{territory application history and culture}}
There are three main governing bodies on the national level: the unicameral National Council (legislative), the Council of State (executive) and the High Court of Guai (judicial).
The establishment of population in Nordland dates back to 2000 years ago with the Sirmirmiutat culture (ancestors of the Inuktitut) who populated the lands until the arrival of Nordic-Finns/Uralic settlers in the south, so the indigenous population had to migrate north, and later there was a war for mineral resources that lasted about 20 years, which ended with a peacefull treaty, the Nordics flourished and settled throughout Nordland, except in the north. Later the kingdom of Nordland was formed after becoming independent from Ruoguovvás by the descendants of the Nordic and Finns/Uralic Settlers that formed a culture in a period named the Blue Revolution (Allit Revolušjon) in 1796, 30 years after independence.


The Ostlandic language its a conlang beetween the Septentrional Sami, the Finn language, and the Norwegian language, despite this it is always considered a Finno-Ugric language, so the language its aglutinant and have some influences of Ruoguovvás and the west part of UL19a.

Hello DT Planner.
===Education===
===Health===
Guai has got a universal healthcare system since the 1926 Health Law that grouped several healthcare provisions that had existed since the 1870s.


I am Liadrien, mapper of Ruoguovvás. Looking through your application, I am hopeful about your request but have a few pointers or critiques for you as the primary neighbor of the territory.
==Culture==
Guai is usually viewed as a very socially progressive society. Married women can vote since 1912 whereas unmarried female proprietaries could vote since the 1840s. Traditionally, few legal restrictions applied to women but those have been repelled, step-by-step, in the course of the 20th century. Same-sex sexual activity has never been criminalised and LGBT rights are quite extensive: same-sex couples have been legally able to marry and adopt since 1998. Registered Partnership Law of 1988 apply to both heterosexual and homosexual couples. Vai houses a vibrant LGBT community whereas its northern neighbourhood Djima is famous for its annual Pride Parade in early December.
Social equality is quite central in Guaiian culture. The country has always been a republic or a set of semi-independent republics and privileges and rights of the upper bourgeoisie vanished in the mid and late 18th century.


language.
===Religion===


The inclusion of icelandic as primary language is not optimal, it does already exist in Norðurland, and even though EMKLI is currently inactive, it creates questions such as how that language got there. There are no other mentions of Nordic languages in the area around the great north sea. It's not a deal breaker, examples of this exists in other parts of the OGF world and I always preach that, 'as long as the mapper enjoys mapping, and does so actively, any language is good' but to further your chances, I would suggest looking into alternative languages. The area has before been cited as 'prefferably Siberian cultures/languages ' but I cannot remember when or where this was said.
Until at least the first half of the 20th century, dominant belief in Guai was called [[Ohoism]], an amalgamation of religio-philosophical traditions that has a significant impact on shaping Guaiian culture. Since then it has steadily declined and today Guai has one of the least religious populations in the world.
 
[[Category:Taukan]][[Category:Guai]]
About your inclusion of Inuktitut. There is currently little to no grounds for American languages in Uletha, on the same basis, it creates questions. There are languages in Archanta related to Inuktitut, and nothing of the sort in Uletha. I would suggest a native Siberian language if you believe you can pull that off. Your best bet if you want some kind of American theme, may be a conlang of some sort, I have been using the conlang Áardic in Northern Ruoguovvás, which uses sámi structure and vocabulary with Kallaalisut phonemes. I would greatly appreciate it if you were to include a related language to your territory. If you want to validate your request, using an already established language would certainly help.
 
History
 
I find your inclusion of Ruoguovvás a bit strange. Ruoguovvás does not have a wiki page as of yet so you'd be forgiven for assuming, but I do not see Ruoguovvás as ever having been on that side of the Iðitbeaivimearra. Ruoguovvás is a diverse union of arctic historic herding and fishing cultures, and is quite recent in terms of Uletha. If you want to go with the 'tyrannic overlord' theme, I'd suggest citing UL19a instead. Even if it in general isn't the best theme to go with.
 
The Vikings of OGF have been referenced before, but to my knowledge never in this area. Often being seen as part of the Vinn sea. It would be a strange inclusion of seafaring raiders if nobody in the area mentions them. It may be beneficial to forgo the 'vikings' term as that brings a lot of assumptions and instead refer to something else. As previously mentioned, Nordic cultures are not really referenced in this area.
 
Physical geography
 
I like that you see the area as very cold. Previous mappers in the area have not, and I hope you share the image that UL19b is no place for freeways, and the north should perhaps have no roads whatsoever. I like the idea of the tundra and the relatively low, presumably old mountains seem perfect for the area. If anything, perhaps Taiga could be a smaller part of the territory and the tundra be the majority? Seems reasonable for the latitude.
 
Population
 
I appreciate your population being relatively low. But for a country located almost entirely north of the Arctic Circle, in a part of the world where seeing the effects of a 'gulf stream' seems woefully unlikely, I find your estimate of 3 million people to be very high. I would find 1 million to perhaps be a high estimate. Keep in mind that agriculture is mostly impossible at this latitude. in addition, I would assume maybe the vast majority of the population to be in the far far south. Even more so than 75%
 
The name
 
In summary, perhaps a slight reimagining of the cultures would be beneficial. Western Siberian would be my suggestion. And in general, perhaps adapt the plan a bit more to the intense climate. Lower population etcetera. Perhaps another that could help you is doing some research on the nearby countries. ask yourself the question, how does this country relate to Ruoguovvás? To Lechia? To UL19a? In addition, it may be good to prove that you are able to map on a larger scale as well, something you'll have to do a lot in UL19b.
 
I wish you the best of luck and hope to see you in the future!
 
Hi, Liadrien, I will change the language to faroese, and the taiga its only in the southeast part, the population will change to 850000 people, 60% faroese, 35% inuktitut, and 4% chuckchi and 1% yakuts, the name will change to østland (East land) and I think its better to change the history to a colony of Ruoguovvás that have a peacefull independence in a treaty, or something like that, and i am intetresting of the faroese, because is a language that is unique and my country is based in Vinland.
 
-Liadrien/Amadeus
 
*Hello DT Planner, thank you for your application, and thank you Amadeus for you comments. (You can both sign comments by typing ~ four times, by the way). My comments:
**The physical geography is appropiate to the location and regional concept, though providing a sketch is highly encouraged. The same goes goes for human geography.
**The history incorporates elements of native and foreign influences with an interesting back-and-forth. Of course, relevant historic events should be coordinated with neighbours, but I see that is already taking place ;)
**Your past mapping so far lacks some larger scale natural features, which are central to the territory's theme. In UL19b, you woulnd't get to map a lot of cities, instead the climate (as you rightfully describe it) would mostly demand a very nature-oriented mapping style.
*May I suggest the following: you and Liadrien could continue your discussion for a little bit (either here on the forum or on private messages), and you can update the proposal with the new info later. In the meantime, try to practice mapping some large-scale natural features (for me, personally, this is the most challenging aspect of mapping; so don't see this as a test of skill, more of a test for whether you enjoy this kind of mapping). I realise we don't really have any arctic blue territories. I'll therefore carve out a testing area in UL19b titled "DT Planner Testing Area" where you can experiment a little. We can then revisit your territory application in a month or two. Please let me know if you'd like this way forward. Cheers! [[User:Leowezy|Leowezy]] ([[User talk:Leowezy|talk]]) 17:36, 19 September 2022 (UTC)
[[User:DT Planner|DT Planner]] ([[User talk:DT Planner|talk]]) 19:30, 19 September 2022 (UTC)Yes, please, Its better for me practising some more natural features, specially the larger ones: like a glacier, or a taiga.
 
Actualization: The Ostlandic language will be a mix with the norwegian, faroese, and the inuktitut, and I think that the language will be aglutinant, also the political system will be a parlamentary monarchy.
 
Hi, I'm doing very well in the testing area, so I ask when my application process will be revisited? You can take all the time if you want.
 
Also i want like in 5-6 months after developing my territory (if I can have it) expand to UL19ak, and make it an autonomous republic but is it possible if this is reserved territory?

Etymology

Guai (oudated Ingerish spelling Gwigh) derives from pre-Taukan root Guo (/gwo/), possibly meaning "fertile plain", and -ai suffix denoting a region or a country, hence, "Land/Region of the fertile plain". Historically speaking, Guai was only the central plain located mostly astride Urán and Astel Cantons. Guai has no official name. Consequently, it is referred just as Guai for all official purposes.

Politics in Guai operates under a framework laid out in the Constitution of Guai. First written in 1848, it made official the system which had been Guai's for over 350 years: a unitary directorial republic. The Constitution was amended many times such as in 1862 to enact universal male suffrage, in 1912 to extend this right to women or 1926 when The National Council's term was changed from four to five years. There are three main governing bodies on the national level: the unicameral National Council (legislative), the Council of State (executive) and the High Court of Guai (judicial).

Parliament

Belfry of the Parliament

The Rūn Palaóuni (Guaiian Tè Rūn Palaóuni, pronounced /tə ɾu:n pala’ɔwni/ lit. The People's Council), also known as The National Council in Ingerish, is the unicameral national parliament (legislature) of Guai.

The 179 members serve five-year terms, with elections held every five years, or earlier in the relatively rare case that the National Council dissolves itself. All candidates must be at least eighteen year old, there is no term limit. The elections use the mixed-term mixed-member proportional representation, half of the Members of the National Council are elected directly in the 90 constituencies of Guai, the other half are elected from the parties national lists in such a way as to achieve proportional representation for the total National Council, although a party has to win one electoral seat or 5 percent of the total party vote before it is eligible for these seats.

The National Council holds its sessions in the Council House (Guaiian: Tè Tic Rūn, pronounced /tə tiʃ ɾu:n/), located on the top of Kerma Hill in Pirindi. The Council House was built from 1912 to 1920 in a early Art Déco architecture style. Topped by a 90-metre bell tower, the building is the tallest Pirindi. Until 1921, the Council met in the old town in a former patrician townhouse adapted in the early 19th Century to fit its new role. It is now a museum.

Government

The Rūn Mati (Guaiian Tè Rūn Mati, pronounced /tə ɾu:n 'mati/ lit. The State Council), also known as The Council of State in Ingerish, is the fifteen-member executive council which constitutes the national government of Guai and serves as the collective executive head of government and state of Guai.

It is appointed by The National Council for 5 years, after every new general elections. Legally speaking, the National Council can vote a motion of no confidence in one Councillor or the Council of State collectively. While the entire council is responsible for leading the National administration of Guai, each Councillor heads one of the fifteen national executive departments. The central administration is housed in two twin buildings located on Kerma Hill: The East and West National Administration Buildings.

Local government

Guai is a centralised republic. The institutional and territorial organization is chiefly governed by Territorial Reform Act of 1961. This law provides a two-level system with Rov or Canton, and Poro or District (lit. circle). These entities have existed since the late 18th Century with different rights and objectives. Before 1961, Districts were further subdivided into Municipalities or Inda that ceased to exist as political subdivisions on 1 January 1965. Yet, Municipalities as still used for statistics or some local purposes.

Law and judicial system

Law in Guai is mainly of legislative origin. From the late 19th century, these provisions have undergone a comprehensive process of codification. Death penalty was legally abolished in 1908 and the last execution occurred in 1870.

The judicial system of Guai is divided between courts with regular civil and criminal jurisdiction and administrative courts with jurisdiction over litigation between individuals and the public administration. Appeals can be made to one of the five Courts of Appeal, the High Court of Guai being the final court of appeal in the Guaiian justice system.
