Forum:Federal States/Time Zones

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.

Notes: Please keep list alphabetical. States of the FSA are featured on the in-universe page Index:States of the Federal States. 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
Antharia	Central Ulethan nation, somewhat based on what Romania would have looked like today if it didn't experience communism (1948-1989). Each region has different influences, including Greek, Slavic, Turkish, Proto-Romanian, Hebrew, and other European cultures.
Template:Aorangëa	Federation consisting of several nations. Languages: English, Pseudo-Polynesian and some minority languages. Ingerish settlers, but only partly a former colony. Mapping style, street layout and infrastructure based on Western Europe.
Template:Ardisphere	Ardisphere is inspired by Latin America, with a much broader multicultural twist, including autonomous language regions for Korean, Welsh, various native languages (including "real" and conlang), Georgian, Romanian, etc. It ranges from tropical wet-dry forest to desert.
Arion	Arion is inspired by the southern Mediterranean, primarily Greece, with a long history. Hellanesian speaking. Like Greece if it had stayed as a democracy since antiquity. Religious, well-developed, with many beautiful islands and lush farmlands. Fraught history with Mazan and Aden.
Bai Empire	Chinese-speaking nation under a semi-constitutional monarchy. Different from the PRC, with a mapping style more similar with either Taiwan (ROC) or Japan. Is pretty developed and a strong regional power.

Template:Castilea Archantea	A well-developed tropical country, with an ancient history. Full of mountains, rivers, forests and fertile valleys, this country is a mixture of ancient traditions and modernity. Its wide climate range due to the high northern and central mountains allows a lot of botanic and faunistic diversity. Its wonderful cities, such as Edetanea, Adra, Basti,..., are powerful touristic areas. We are looking forward to your visit!
Demirhanlı Devleti	Relatively big, medium-income country located in the centre of Uletha between the two seas. The area provides experience of many different climates and diverse fauna and flora as well as complicated cultural heritage. Friendly for tourists, certainly more than for own citizens.
Dregovine	Small counttry located in northern Uletha. Nice and lovely place to visit and enjoy large endless forests and swamps, at least as long as you are not communist. Visitors may also enjoy modern, rapidly developing cities with good public transport.
Template:Duncanheim	The terrain varies between coastal lowlands, river valleys, and forested mountains rich in silver. Originally a small confederation of tribes, now modernized without losing its old traditions, this nation stands alone, but with a friendly smile and probably a new laptop to sell you.

Izaland	An advanced democratic nation and one of the main world powers located in south-eastern Uletha, based on a mix of East Asia (75%) and Scandinavia (25%), with advanced technological standards, and one of the leading countries in the field of SGDs. Its position grants access either to the southern and northern seas, making it also a strong commercial nation.
Kara	A small, democratic, fairly progressive, multi-national state created in 1934 from 5 independent states. 5 main languages are in the country, with three of them (Kårska, Kirek, and Riꝏnþu) heavily inspired by Swedish and Scandinavian more generally, one of them (Vèžèk) being somewhat related to Swedish but less so, and a (probably post-Ingerish-colonial) area speaking Ingerish. Agriculture, technology, and green energy are important economic sectors.
Karolia	Central Ulethan federal republic, famous for music, bicycle culture and historic cities as well as mountains in the north. Karolia is roughly a mixture of Finland, Germany, Austria and the Netherlands.
Khaiwoon	A busy hub of world trade, crowded, capitalist and cosmopolitan, maybe like Singapore or Hong Kong, but inspired by diverse Asian influences from the Middle East to Japan, mixed in with a few random Western bits, plus an original language and script thrown in for fun.
Kofuku	A cold country with numerous fjords and glacial formations. Inspired in Norway and southern Chile geography. Really old, once colonised by Ingerland and also had a communist period. Now a developed country with federal cantons and a Nordic-social-democracy vision.

Paroy	A first-world nation in southern Tarephia, with beautiful mountainous tropical inland, subtropical coastal regions and a colonial history. Based on Canada, the UK and the Netherlands.
Plevia	A developed republic in western Uletha, home to the Plevian (Italian inspired) culture. Compared to the real world Italy, Plevia is larger, with a boxy shape which allows different climates than Italy. Most of population is located along the southern coast, while the extreme north is made of steppes and cold desert. Its population of about 90 million people delineates some still visibly present social inequality, which is Plevia's main challenge.
Template:Podolian Republic	Landlocked country in the central Uletha, with Slevic language and people. The government is socialist since the takeover and overthrow of monarchy in 1943. The climate is temperate. Eastern European Slavic countries served as inspiration.
Reeland	Social democratic developed country. Former colony. Loosely based on Germany, The Netherlands and Nordic countries. Mostly populated on the north, most developed on the northwest. Has minimum military interventions on other countries.
Template:San Marcos	Similar to a Spanish Brazil. Castellanese kingdom make it independent and settled a branch of its monarchy in the country which is still reigning today. Castellán also give to San Marcos its possessions in that area; some of them today are independent countries (like Plazafuerte) and others are still under saintmarkinian rule.
Semanya	A relatively poor but promising landlocked state in East Uletha with its own unique culture and language and an abundance of natural and cultural sites. Inspired by a wide variety of European cultures. Its history with the northern Kalmic cultures is complicated.
Template:Tarrases	A sort of cultural "bridge" between Ardisphere, Mahhal, and the rest of the OGF world. If I had to give a "concept summary" for Tárrases in one sentence, I would say, "mix Gibraltar and Macao, and put it in a Bergen, Norway, climate." Currently, it is my best mapping in OGF.

Template:Wyster	Wyster is an insular kingdom in eastern Uletha. Its closest neighbour (by sea) is Glaster, with which country Wyster formed the Kingdom of Both Glasters until its dissolution in 1834. Inspiration for Wyster derives from e.g. Wales and other parts of the UK, Romania, etc. The Wystrian language is unrelated to existing languages on earth.
Zalivnia	Entirely inspired by Serbia. A bit richer, and more used to the surrounding. (Don't worry, the history is not as harsh as the one of Serbia.)
