Collab:Gobrassanya/Lonowai

From OpenGeofiction

The Lonowai Islands are an overseas territory of Gobrassanya, governed as Lonowai District with a large degree of autonomy. This page sets out the framework for collaborative editing of the islands, limiting the features which can be mapped, in order to achieve a realistic result.

The islands are split into 3 counties. The largest city is Ūhola (Redbeard's Harbor), followed by the capital Ōbaku. Due to Lonowai's position at around 14 degrees north latitude, the islands are heavily forested and weather conditions are normally very humid most of the year. There is a pronounced dry season that occurs through the winter months (October through March) which supports a strong tourism industry.

Language and culture are a mix of English (Ingerlish colonisation) and native Gobrassi / Lonowai Islanders.
