This is a place where mappers can briefly describe their territories using 280 characters or less, so that others can quickly get a sense of the 'vision' for each territory.

Achtung.svg Notes:
  • Please keep list alphabetical.
  • States of the FSA are to be listed in another list at Collab:Federal States/State profiles. Please do not add here.
  • Please, no blue territories for now. Purple territories may be described by coordinators.
  • Please do not add a territory until it has a significant amount of mapping developed.
Territory Quick description

Flag of Antharia.svg Antharia Central Ulethan nation, somewhat based on what Romania would have looked like today if it didn't experience communism (1948-1989).

Template:Duncanheim The terrain varies between coastal lowlands, river valleys, and forested mountains rich in silver.
