Basic Standards

Lutang's mapping style is "Lemurian Filipino". This is the term used by Lemuria for his personal interpretation of the Filipino map style.

OSM's mapping conventions for the IRL Philippines are a good starting point.

Distance between rails: 6m

Rapid population growth has since resulted in Bagong Bandila and Araminta being connected to each other; both being in the Greater Bandila Area.

Names

Names come from a variety of sources. Either I make up something in my head that fits Tagalog spelling rules, use the already-existing name of a small (and obscure) town in the countryside, or find a Filipino word.

Country

The country name is Lutang, officially the Republic of Lutang or Republika ng Lutang in Tagalog. "lutang" is a Tagalog word meaning "floating in water", or figuratively, being prominent.

Lunazon is an old name, used for BG04; where I worked on developing the Lemurian Filipino style.

Capital

Possible candidates for the capital and largest city:

Bagong Bandila (lit. "New Banner")

Brands

Mostly chains.

FastPC - A computer store chain, like the real-world PC Express (not to be confused with the Canadian one which has a Wikipedia article while the Filipino computer store doesn't)
Peasant - A restaurant, like the real-world The Aristocrat.
Pritong Isda ni Irene (Tagalog for "Irene's Fried Fish") - Seafood-oriented fast food. No real-world equivalent
Astig na Kape ("Cool Coffee", "Awesome Coffee"; see Wiktionary entry on "astig") - Coffee chain
Pambansang Kape ("National Coffee", "Coffee of the Nation") - Another coffee chain
Desirabilitea (play on the "ty" in "desirability" sounding like "tea"), inspired by the real-world "Serenitea", which does the same wordplay
Bagong Baril ("New Gun") - a gun store.
Banko ng Araminta ("Bank of Araminta") - nationwide bank

Bulalo Center

Bowl of bulalo being served at the Araminta Bulalo Center.

Bulalo Center - Might be nationwide; but at the moment only active in Araminta. No real-world equivalent; aside from all those bulalo shops you will find in Tagaytay. Bulalo Center locations are named "[LOCATION] Bulalo Center", and name= tags should be set accordingly. Set operator= as "Bulalo Center" and branch= as the text in front of "Bulalo Center".

Bulalo is a Filipino dish.
Spelling: Always use "center", even in countries where British English spelling or "Ingerland Ingerish" is the standard. Not that the Bulalo Center wants to go international (yet).
