− | Antarephia is a slender continent nearing 10 million km<sup>2</sup> (or 3.8 sq mi) of which about 8.8 million km<sup>2</sup> are located on the mainland and surrounding islands, and approximately 1.1 million km2 form the large Hardan Archipelago to the South of the continent. In its largest extend (South East - North West), Antarephia stretches on 9,000 km (~5,600 mi). If it were in real-world North hemisphere, Antarephia would stretch from roughly the latitude of Nouakchott, Mauritania all the way up to Kiruna, Sweden (or check the map to the right with Antarephia actual position superimposed on Earth). Keep this in mind for how it may affect the climate, the culture, the general functioning of a given territory and their impact on the mapping you plan.

− | === Note on Central Antarephia geography===
| + | <!-- Replace all WRITE HERE items with your application specifics, be sure to preview the page. Preview also displays extra explanation for each section --> |
− | Between 2018 and 2021, areas of Central Antarephia underwent some remodelling. Part of this process focused on providing the region with a more coherent cross-border geography (e.g. mountain ranges, rivers, lakes), redesigning territories and rebuilt the coastline at a high-level perspective.

− | It also provided with elements necessary for southern regions of the continent - Southern Mainland and the Hardan Archipelago - to have some sort of milder set of climates (in most coastal regions) and enable backstories for larger ancient and modern cultures to develop and flourish at these high latitudes. The mountains along the border between [https://opengeofiction.net/relation/21970 AN142i] and [https://opengeofiction.net/relation/84822 AN148], and its immediate northern and southern extensions, were designed as a low mountain range with a few peaks nearing 1,500m/4,921ft (e.g. [https://opengeofiction.net/node/220876918 arbitrary common summit for AN142i and AN148]. This and the absence of highland south of this mountain range (called Mid-Antarephian Gap as temporary term), enable the oceanic air masses from the Hesperic Ocean to cross the continent eastward and follow the Hardan coasts in a South East direction.This tempers the climate of northern regions of the Archipelago, especially the coastal ones.

− | '''1- Tropical Antarephia''' <br>
| + | {{territory application physical geography}} |
− | Tropical Antarephia is the name given to the zone located in the Northeast of the continent. It displays a two-season pattern with seasonal rains mostly likely during its hot summer - when the air is saturated with humidity - that follow a dry and sunny "winter". Depending on the location and altitude, savanna (different types) or tropical forests (most likely where humidity is higher: East/North East coast on heights close to the sea) may be present. For simplification, the map on the right displays climates as being AW/AS (Tropical savanna climate) but neighbouring subtropical climate variations (Cfa,Cwa...) may also apply.
| |
| | | |
− | '''2- Arid Antarephia''' <br>
| + | The overall climate is very mild. Winters here would be very cold reaching temperatures of 10F/-12C. While the summer would be somewhat hot reaching an average temperature of 80F/27C. In terms of topography this country is very much flat. Little elevation changes here and there but nothing over 300 feet of elevation. Going over the colors on the map. Gray = railway, Green = forests/nature areas, Mint = proposed highest point, Purple = motorways, blue = rivers and bodies of water https://imgur.com/a/KNuIw27 |
− | Arid Antarephia is located on the North West of the continent (roughly same latitudes as Namib or Atacama Deserts). Deserts can be sand, gravel or rock desert depending on the mappers' imagination. Depending on the altitude, the desert hot or cold (both have hot summers but cold deserts have cold winters). Due to the latitude, the cold deserts will not be as cold as the Gobi Desert but may resemble other plateaus deserts such as those in the US South East highlands. Very little vegetation is encountered in this region that is likely to feature no perennial stream, river or body of freshwater.
| |
| | | |
− | '''3- Semi-arid Antarephia''' <br>
| + | {{territory application human geography}} |
− | Semi-arid Antarephia is located east of Arid Antarephia. As for the deserts, the climate varies according to the altitude and latitude, regions along the Trans-Antarephian Mountain Range, in the south, are likely to have milder summers, colder winters and nights than regions more North and/or lower. All this leads to a variation of vegetations: steppe, montane grassland, shrublands or even some [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arizona_Mountains_forests Arizona-Mountains-forest]-like woods where favourable.
| |
| | | |
− | '''4- Subtropical Antarephia''' <br>
| + | To start off, my mapping style is very much from an American Midwestern perspective. While a big difference in my mapping is that I usually like to map somewhat smaller major cities. Neklomen the intended capital city and largest city will most-likely hold around 400 thousand residents. Think of your Milwaukees or your Saint Louises instead of your San Diegos and or San Antonios. The city would replace the current city of Kennsville. The infrastructure will be a bit different from your average American city in terms of motorways and such. I do not like clogging my cities with motorways and other large roadways. In 2018, my current project had many highways going right through its main city and I just feel like that was not the right move. Now there is one sort of spur around the city which I deem enough for now. Current downtown Neklomen is pretty bland and will be spiced up in this current location with new building and an actual downtown feel. Regarding land occupation, a lot of the proposed early development will be on Lake Leighton and in currently map sections outside of Kennsville. I want to have a big focus on forest preserves and natural areas first. I want to have a bigger emphasis on railways in the map as my current build has a lackluster system. Wauzekah will have a big focus on moving people from one country to the next. Many motorways and railways will take passengers through the region to major cities in the nation and to surrounding nations. In terms of economic development, Neklomen and the cities on lake will be an important factor to the development. That is where most of the population is planned to stay and where most of the jobs will lead too. Finally, most of the residents in the nation of considered white. The immigrants that found the region were mostly white and that is what stuck. Though everyone in Wauzekah is given equal rights and opportunities which has attracted people from different regions and descendants. |
− | Subtropical Antarephia is located south of Tropical Antarephia and displays a climate similar to the one of the US South East or around the Rio de la Plata in South America (or Sydney, Australia). Winters are mostly mild and Summers are generally hot with potential hurricanes from the Northeast in the late season. Humidity is high year-round leading to large mixed forests (they may have been partially replaced by fields) and wide rivers.
| |
| | | |
− | '''5- Mediterranean Antarephia''' <br>
| + | {{territory application history and culture}} |
− | Mediterranean Antarephia is located south of Arid and Semi-Arid Antarephia, and displays mild winters and, depending on the latitude and proximity from the ocean and prevailing winds, warm or hot summers. Rains fall mainly in winter and become rare or absent in summer the closer one goes to the deserts. This influences vegetation: Mediterranean pine/oak-like forest, shrubland. Highlands may display oceanic climate, especially in the southernmost regions, as they block humidity from the Hesperic Ocean. Be mindfully of the width of your rivers or size of your lakes when mapping them.
| |
| | | |
− | '''6- Temperate Antarephia''' <br>
| + | There are two well known languages in the country of Wauzekah. One being the worldwide language of Ingerish. The other being one special to the Wauzekahian nation. That being Wauzekish. This is usually spoken by the natives here but would expand to larger groups in the nation. Religion is something that is not as popular in Wauzekah than most other nations in the Federal States. While the most of whom celebrate and participate in a religion are Christic, it is seen that only about 50% of the population thinks religion is important in their day to day lives. Wauzekah loves anything pig and that is why they are famous for their usage of pigs for food. They also fancy many types of pastas and noodles. Their most famous delicacy has to be their sushi which is taken from local lakes and imported into the country. |
− | Temperate Antarephia starts roughly around the 45°S parallel and displays variations of the oceanic climates: mild summers and cool winters. Regions to the West are likely to be "milder" year-round with a lot of rain, especially in winter. Further South, the temperature range narrows and lowers with more rain. The Mid-Antarephian Gap allows oceanic winds to cross and temper the climate of northern regions of the Harda Archipelago. Vegetation would be naturally represented by large deciduous forests with conifers being located mainly at higher altitude or further South.
| |
| | | |
− | '''7- Austral Antarephia''' <br>
| + | {{territory application past mapping}} |
− | Austral Antarephia is some kind of inverted Scandinavia, the landmass does not allow true comparison with North America or Northeast Asia. Coming from Temperate Antarephia, warm summers reach lower maximum temperatures than further North and winters are cold with snow far from being uncommon. Regions further south, further from the sea and/or not facing the prevailing oceanic winds from the Northwest have cold to freezing-cold winters with cool and rather short summers. The northernmost regions have large mixed forests giving way to the taiga further south, which in turn is replaced by the tundra and glaciers (from 800-1000m or lower - ~3,000ft on the slopes facing South). The same series (mixed forests, conifers, taiga, tundra, glaciers) is triggered by height further north.
| |
| | | |
− | NB: The [[Collab:Southern_Islands|Southern Islands]] are a community-owned and managed in a form of collaboration. Given their latitude and isolation, they are likely to be covered with glaciers, glacial debris and little tundra (e.g. lichens) along the northernmost coasts.
| + | https://opengeofiction.net/relation/985#map=9/-6.8179/128.0776&layers=B West Park has been in my possession since 2018. Up until mid 2019 I was working off a crap laptop. I took many small breaks from mapping here and there as well. Neklomen and the surrounding region as well Frankfort and Smalerd regions are planned to be transported out into this map. |

As shown on the map on the right, a territory could be a cluster within a larger group or hosts many ethnicities, or a majority and various minorities of its own or present in neighbouring territories.
| |
− | As of November 2021, lots of regions have not been mapped extensively or territory recently owned. The description of these sectors is consequently left rather vague at this stage.
| |
− | | |
− | ====Desert cultures====
| |
− | Most probably nomadic in the past. Present situation is up to the territory owners. Existence of too many large urban areas is unlikely given the heat and limited water resources.
| |
− | | |
− | ====Lycene cultures====
| |
− | Indigenous substrate (either Holmic-based, owner's own or Real World less spoken languages) for toponyms or even cultural elements, with a more or less heavy Ulethan colonial history mirroring that of the northern shores of the Strait of Lyc. Please have a look at your northern neighbours' developments when submitting a territory request plan.
| |
− | | |
− | ====Holmic cultures====
| |
− | Either their own group(s), isolates or integrated - either completely or partially - within the Holmic cultural-linguistic block (e.g. Ohesia, San Markos, Ohemia) with their many shades of Ulethan-Holmic blend.
| |
− | | |
− | ====Archipelagic cultures====
| |
− | Some islands have an Holmic-based culture other have their own isolate language/culture or mix both. Ulethan influence, if it exists, should be more tenuous than on the continent. Bear in mind that these are rather small islands some 500km/300mi off the mainland at their closest.
| |
− | | |
− | ====Western cultures====
| |
− | Either their own group(s), isolates or a transition area between Taukans and the desert/high plateaus cultures (the dosage is up to the owners). These include the Qamaric cultures (e.g; Leresso).
| |
− | | |
− | ====High plateaus cultures====
| |
− | Most probably semi-nomadic in the past. Present situation is up to the owners. Favourable locations may host reasonably large urban areas and agriculture.
| |
− | | |
− | ====Steppe/endorheic basins cultures====
| |
− | Most probably semi-nomadic in the past. Present situation is up to the owners. Favourable locations may host reasonably large urban areas and agriculture (E/SE). Culturally, outer regions may be influenced by their neighbours.

− | ====Taukan cultures====
| |
− | [[Collab:Taukan|Taukans]] are a set of peoples that originate from the upper Şibār River valley in northern Paxtar. From 3000 BCE they migrated in separate waves to various locations in Central Antarephia (eg. Ullanyé, Guai). While they have developed in different ways, they still shares common historical (e.g. modern country originating from trading city-states), cultural (e.g. fundamental beliefs, celebrations, given names) or linguistic (e.g. grammar and vocabulary features). Owners may choose to have their territory either Taukan, Taukan-influenced, related to neighbouring groups or isolate.
| |
− | | |
− | ====Central smaller states cultures====
| |
− | Either their own group(s), isolates, Taukan-influenced or if it further develops, groups from the Southwestern cultures.
| |
− | | |
− | ====Southwestern cultures====
| |
− | Either their own group(s), isolates or related to other neighbouring Antarephian ethnic groups: Taukans, Hardan or from the central smaller states.
| |
− | | |
− | ====Hardan cultures====
| |
− | Harda Archipelago is some kind of austral "Caucasus": a conglomeration of ethnic groups, related or not with their subgroups (e.g; GT Darrsian) overlapping with isolate groups (eg. Kalisanjo, Suya Ahn). Mappers may also choose groups from other Antarephian regions as long as it makes sense. While their economies are usually based on mining, gas, forestry and fisheries - explaining the sometimes "high" population of such high latitudes - these countries' fate may differ: some have developed into rich countries, other have been less fortunate and affected by civil wars, possibly in the context of the "World War". Pockets of colonial remains exist, mainly along the eastern coast, e.g. Kofuku northern coast and capital city, Tárrases).
| |
− | | |
− | ====Southern Islands====
| |
− | The [[Collab:Southern_Islands|Southern Islands]] are a community-owned and managed in a form of collaboration. They do not hold permanent population.

− | === Mapping Style ===
| |
− | Antarephia having, in most cases, a long established History before coming into contact with the Ulethans, it is likely that it translates somehow into the mapping style(s), with most settlements having at their core a historic neighbourhood/city-centre of some form. Its exact rendition is up to the territory owners who may find inspiration in their neighbours' mapping.
| |
− | Settlements that would have been designed more recently, e.g. 20<sup>th</sup> century planned cities, settlements in extreme climatic conditions - hot or cold - that would have required "modern" technology to truly expand, are not expected to strictly follow the aforementioned pattern.
