	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)

Aizaqāraśaḅūmī is a tropical country. In rural areas it is similar to Sri Lanka/Indonesia, in more urbanised area it's more like Indian cities, but not fully.

The country is flat near the sea and further you go from the ocean, the more mountainous it gets, with an exception of a small area near tripoint with TA223 and TA224 being similarly flat as the coastal area.

	Human geography
	A brief description of the territory demographics, economic development, land occupation, infrastructure and mapping style

Aizaqāraśaḅūmī is demographically homogenous, mostly because people of this nation have regained contact with other nations circa early XIX century.

The country is at the coast urbanised and wealthy, yet not rich. Additionally, the more you go into the mountains, the less wealthy and urbanised this area is.

Population of this country is cc. 14 million. The coastal area's population density goes as high as 150 pp./sq. km. But the mountains are not that populated with average population density of that area gradually decreasing with growing distance from the sea from ~100 pp./sq. km to even 30-40 pp./sq. km with spike of pop. density near the lake. Here the density spikes to even 100 pp./sq. km.

Mapping style is indirectly mentioned above. (check sentence about similarities to real life countries)

	History & culture
	A brief description of the intended culture and language

Aizaqāraśaḅūmī people are not native. Most propably they came from AN120, yet they could also come from AN125. About one thing we're sure - they came here around III c. BC and lost contact with their nation at the turn of the eras. At around the same point Classical Sanskrit, which they brought there, started evolving on its own, soon to become a different language.

After the turn of the eras the Aizaqāraśaḅūmī people became completely isolated. Soon, around VI-VII c. CE they started going into mountains. As an effect before XV c. most of the current land of the nation was already theirs. Around 1820 they regained contact with the outer world, but the recent studies show they could have contact with Tuyuha people as early as XV century.

I wasn't mapping here for very long. After 3 weeks i moved out to Rhododactylia, in which i'm still editing. Yet you can see my mapping being high quality, even it there isn't much of it here

Rural area: https://opengeofiction.net/#map=15/-8.9967/169.4385&layers=B

I mapped this quite recently. KNLA has many ghost towns (towns having basically nothing except the label). Thus i decided to map one of them. I did it in the course of three days.

Transportation:

https://wiki.opengeofiction.net/util/route_relations.html?map=C/14/-10.45093/166.91837 (Surfside City), https://wiki.opengeofiction.net/util/route_relations.html?map=C/14/-3.96410/168.11949 (Gyvetown)

This is the part i definetely like the most. In Surfside City i added tram lines (there are 8 of them) and some stops to a network done by someone else, someone that is sadly not active (at least i think so)

Meanwhile in Gyvetown I added line relation to already existing tracks and added a second branch to Werleyside.

Macromapping: https://opengeofiction.net/#map=10/-9.0461/169.4463&layers=B

The things you should notice are adjusted to mountains border and new or rerouted roads.

I also highly recommend you to compare everything to OSM Carto (05 testing) layer.

Hello.

I would like to have this application voided.

Reason:

After submitting this I decided to talk about it on Discord server. And... it was rated as "highly nonsensical". I was suggested to request something in West Uletha or Northern Tarephia.

@Taka, please void this application, as I'm going to apply for an another territory in West Uletha.
