Forum:Territory application/AR103 - Golfrodom
- Please fill in the information below to make a territory request.
 | Territory ID and proposed name |
|---|---|
| The Territory ID (from OpenGeofiction:Territories, e.g. AR123a) and proposed name of the country |
AR103 - Golfrodom (Kingdom of the Golden Eagle)
 | Physical geography |
|---|---|
| An overview of climate, topography and landscape of the country. It is advised to also create a sketch, you can add a link to this (hosted on imgur or similar) |
There is a forest in the central and nothern parts of the country. This will also have some mountains. Golfrodom also borders the ocean in the south where there will be coastal zones and hills. There will be a grassland in the south central part of the country. The cities are mostly on the coastal side. There is also a medium lake in the central region.
 | Human geography |
|---|---|
| A brief description of the territory demographics, economic development, land occupation, infrastructure and mapping style |
The country has a mix of people from all ages to races, from ethnicity to gender. The infrastructure is very developed and the country is very rich. The economy is mostly based on technology. There will be motorways connecting large cities and primary roads connecting the larger towns to the motorways. There will be big cities along the coast and motorways there. Secondary roads will connect small towns to larger towns or cities and primary roads will be used for tiny villages. (NOTE: All these roads are also going to be used in cities)
 | History & culture |
|---|---|
| A brief description of the intended culture and language |
The main language is English, although there are many different languages spoken throughout this country. There are also many different cultures, but most people don't practice any culture at all. This country was started when Albert Golfrodom journeyed from Southern Archanta to Northern Archanta and his ship landed on the coast of Golfrodom. There, they started the capital city of Golfrodom City, and soon the city grew. Then, the government sent explorers to claim more land, and soon towns began springing up all over Golfrodom. This created the Country of Golfrodom.

| To support your request provide links to areas of OGF mapping which showcase your mapping skill. Mapping relevant to the requested theme & geography is especially useful | |
| The {{coord}} template can optionally be used to link to the OGF map - it results in a nice formatted link. Or you can paste in a URL. |
I mapped out some small towns in Michisaukee:

- Hi, referring to the map at OpenGeofiction:Territory application#North and South Archanta the guiding theme for this territory would be African inspired. I know that's pretty broad, but your application seems to be going to everything all at once, super rich, super developed. That's not going to work. The neighbouring Rhododactylia is an anachronism, the hedonistic result of new mappers rather than a coordinated approach - please don't use that as inspiration. Be specific. Thanks/wangi (talk) 09:18, 4 May 2023 (UTC)
- Oh, sorry! I guess I looked at Rhododactylia and thought it could be like that but neater. Since it has a forest, I'm thinking about Central African Countries or South African. Maybe something like South Africa or Angola. Also I guess a culture like the Zulus in South Africa or something like that. Also I guess it could get income from tourism and natural resources. I guess the coastline could be a bit developed (taking inspiration from South Africa) but in the interior it is less rich and it is poorer. Thaman (talk) 13:30, 4 May 2023 (UTC)
- Or is it possible to get a new territory because I want to make a country kind of like Ardence or Ambroisie
- Why North Archanta? Have a look around the other continents, try to fit into a region based on what you want to map, rather than the other way round. Actually think that Collab:Federal States might work, or one of the available AR047-xx territories? Going to close this out for now, with some mapping feedback.

| Closing - user to look for alternative territories and form a more precise and realistic background for country. Also need to work on improving natural mapping, with attention to relations (e.g. in many of the examples they are blanketed by underlying grass or forest mapping) and some scaling (airport in particular).
