	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)

In the north there are mountains (up to 4500 metres - 14,700 feet). The rest of the country consists of plains. Two major rivers cross the country in a south-north arc.

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

The population of the country is approximately 40 million. The main cities are in the south, with Frandis, the capital (7 million inhabitants), Tildeaux (4 million), Brista (3 million). In the west, there is Mirmal (2 million). In the east, there is Simavre (1 million).

There are many industries, some of them high-tech. Most are located in the south or east of the country.

	Past mapping
	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.

If my request is accepted, would it be possible to move what I did on BG23 to TA305?

Hi Bulest,

Unfortunately at this time, the mapping in your BG territory doesn't quite qualify you for a territory in my opinion. While you're on the right track, your mapping, especially the stuff in Frandis, currently consists mostly of roads that are scattered through the general area - the areas with residential roads are inconsistent in terms of scale and style. If you haven't yet, I recommend reading up on this tutorial: Help:Making realistic cities; and compare your mapping with other mapping in the project, or cities on OpenStreetMap itself. Also note that bridges such as the southernmost bridge over the Seloise river, and the railway junction in Frandis are not realistic at all. That said, the villages of Cossé-le-Bois and Talmont-sur-Vercic are quite well made, and I recommend you to keep working in that style. As for the rest of your application, I think your estimate of 40 million might still be relatively high; compared to the real world, you'd be looking at a density similar to the United Kingdom - which isn't entirely realistic for a tropical climate. And, when approved, yes, anything you want moved can be moved into your new territory.
