1 Don’t go speaking English to a regional eatery in the city of Maisoneuve. They will roll their eyes at you. 2. USD, CDN, all the money from the real life and OGF world are legal to be traded, but if you bring a rock on tuesday you get $50 Planorian 3. Please don’t do the popular trend called dabbing, the residents dislike it. 4. Do not vandalize the posters (You will be charged $25,000 Planorian) 5. Bring bug spray during the summer, by that time a group of mosquitoes would be hungry for a meal 6. Please do not blast music, it annoys people. 7. Once you arrive at the airport, don’t run, unless you have to rush or you need to use the restroom 8. The Galacticburger Fast food eatery has tons of good food to fill you up when your hungry, but you need to drive 45 minutes from Arlington to get to the only one with a virtual cart you have on your phone. 9. don’t blast country music, or just not any music. if you wanna blast it, make sure it’s not on ear exploder mode.

Thats the travel tips

Hope I’m not the only one who tries to avoid christmas hehe. Happy Holidays everyone (whatever you may or may not be celebrating) :)

After a month or two in which I modified to some extent Conabaras, having size issues, and even though it’s two months since I started, everything looks very simple and so easy to modify. Let’s see what I have in Conabaras:

Sanelta Islands (http://opengeofiction.net/#map=15/10.8913/37.3413)

Sanelta Islands, which is simply what I have called the Diomede Islands (Two Islands between USA and Russia) If they were in the tropic. I’ve built 4 cities there, and one tribe reservation. Nothing really special is going on, but it’s possible to take a ferry to Nalassa, or just fly over to there. These islands were originally supposed to represent something similar to Fiji. These islands are about done, however I plan to add a few more hamlets and villages, and transform the tribe to a village.

Nalassa (http://opengeofiction.net/#map=14/11.1829/37.0563)

The resizing project cut about half of what I wanted, however it seems so that everything was so small compared to other nations. In any case, Nalassa is only taking it’s first construction steps, and an airport already exists. Not so far there’s a war city and a reservation. Nalassa is the capital of Conabaras, and ironically it is the least worked on currently city. Hopefully now everything is resized to the normal size.

Habaus Island (http://opengeofiction.net/#map=13/11.3304/37.0274)

Though there isn’t much I can tell, this is my current project. The island is meant to be something like a Buddhist island, where everyone in the south of the island is a monk, or believes in the local religion. The local people practice meditation in the Antare temple, however the rest of the city is a tourist bait. From the city of Habaus you can enter to the tribal territory, however it is supposed to be a modern-yet-tribal city (yes I know I’m adding tribes everywhere, but check the wiki page). This is yet to be added.

Welcome to Marie City, the primate city of Hoppon and the center of a huge megalopolis (possibly might be the biggest “metro” in OGF)!

I want to hear your ideas on how I can improve what I already map and what I should try to incorporate into the future. I am not even close to done but if you see how much mapping I have been doing over the break, it may appear that this city just appeared out of nowhere. I still need to create a wiki article and most of my ideas have been written on paper. But this is the brainchild of Hong Kong and Tokyo openstreetmap+google (most of my ideas are from there).

Some tidbits. Their are zero named roads because I am using the Japanese address system, which uses blocks instead of intersections to find were you are. and so it will be easier to go and name roads after if they are either numbers or just major roads.

The Construction areas are places I reserved for future mapping, since often cities will have a large “block”, whether it is the blocks including Central Park, New York. Or Tokyo’s imperial palace, or simply a large school or university, these blocks are reserved for unknown things I might put in the future such as a stadium or large hotel..

Some of my poorer areas will also have large blocks and the words “danchi” because it is supposed to be a large collection of government housing. Here is one in Nete http://opengeofiction.net/#map=15/29.2125/117.5215

I did this to “distinguish” rich and poor because in dense cities like Tokyo their isn’t much “geographical difference” as in the rich and poor often have similar sized apartments and houses, and the main difference is that the rich/middle class areas tend to cluster around the center of Tokyo and to the vast majority of eastern wards. While the poorest areas are either near red light districts in the center or along the river in the northern wards of the city. Tokyo also has “danchi”, but the ones in my city are large and more noticeable compared to Tokyo’s.

Hello Mappers!

I am ready to open Drevet to a small number of collaborators to work out any possible issues with the collaboration platform. If anyone is interested in one of the jobs listed in the Collaboration Page, please send me a message with a job you are interested in. I will open collaboration to the first 3 mappers who apply.

If the test run is successful, I will fully open Drevet to collaboration by New Year’s.

Thanks for everyone’s help and advice!

Hello. I have seen these words in several wikis and I am quite confused with the usage. Which one is the standard Ingerlish/Inglish/Ingerlish language form for the Inglish/Ingerlish/Ingerish people and the language itself? Or it varies by region and continents?

Hello everyone!

For a while, I have been working on recreating Drevet into a more manageable ‘guided collaboration’ country, similar to the Ardisphere.

(http://wiki.opengeofiction.net/wiki/index.php/Talk:Federation_of_Drevet_and_Wustesonne)

I’d like to hear any questions and/or comments to the Collaboration Page.

Thanks for everyone’s help!

Hi! There are some problems with the standard layer of the map - it took a lot of time to render changes on zoom 13 and still hasn’t finished on zoom 14 - on zoom 15 it’s okay again. The edits were significant (adding a lot of roads and landuse) and made quite some time ago (at least a day, I couldn’t remember). What’s the problem?

Hello everyone!

My countries are located on the edge of a desert. I am interested in finding a way to identify a region within the desert where sand dunes are generally/typically located. Since dunes often travel, using a ‘mountain’ marker would not be suitable.

Thoughts?

Let’s clarify what have I said in the post about holiday travel tips:

“Since Conabaras is currently having a civil war…

EMERGENCY TIPS IN CONABARAS

• Whenever encountering any tribal nomads, please show them the security card you gained in the airport, since these nomads are rebels that Conabaras is at war with.

This card means that if you are a tourist, you can show this card to prove it. Civilians also own this card.

• If you’re being attacked anyway, please report to the nearest building.

This rule applies if you have lost your security card or you haven’t gained it.

• In any case of an alarm, please evacuate to the nearest War City.

As basic as it sounds, just go to the war city. Learn more about them here.

• Outside of the hotel, wear a blue tie so you will be protected or noticed by the government. Whenever a raid or a bombing occurs, you’ll be protected.

This rule gives knowledge to the government that if you have this tie the government will know that you are a tourist.

• In case of bombing, please go to the underground shelters and bunkers, and the government advises to stay in those Shelters at least for 2 hours.

Simple as it sounds.

Even if there’s a war, remember, Conabaras will protect you, and during civil wars, all prices are lowered by 50%! So thanks for visiting Conabaras!

Now this one is a bit stranger, since it says civil WARS rather than the civil war. The prices that are lowered are mainly for resources or whatever equipment is required during the war. Not a new pack of video games.

HOPEFULLY I HELPED

I’m going to start mapping in Agarderia. However, I have no idea what to map there. I have completed the basic layout of the country, having mapped the locations of rivers, forest cover, roads, railways and settlements. I am unsure where to progress after this. It would be best for Agarderia to have an eastern European feel to it, much like its neighbours Karamsk and Latania. Does anyone have any suggestions on how I should progress or what I should start mapping first?

Context for Agarderia:

1. Agarderia is a developing nation. It has an HDI of 0.732.
2. Agarderia has been in a civil war since 1998. However, fighting has been isolated and rare since 2010. A largely unrecognised breakaway nation, the Social Republic of Glastian Agarderia, lies to the east of Agarderia.
3. Agarderia was a communist nation before 1986, and a fascist nation from 1936 to 1946.
4. The most populated regions of Agarderia lie to the south, near the coastline. Most of Agarderian industry is found here.

The Agarderian wiki page is found here.

Since it is a holiday for most people now, share your country’s travel tips here if anyone is going to visit your country. For example: Commonia- Before visiting, make sure you have enough Commonian Buc with you as there are very few money changers In Commonia. Other currencies including the USD is not accepted as legal tender, with some exceptions of the West Commonian Buc. Bringing ten thousand Buc into Commonia is like going for an out-of-money experience. These travel tips will be posted here . If any errors found in that article feel free to edit the wiki article yourself.

This is part of your creativity, and based on your country’s unique characteristics and state of affairs. Happy Holidays! Zhen Kang

I have two things to say.

First, I’d like to say sorry, I really messed up, I just barged into other people’s territories and had no idea that I was going where I’m not allowed. Thankfully, those edits have been reversed and I’ve started editing where I should.

Second, I’m pretty sure people have done this before, but this one place in Commonia, a small, barren island across from Cascavade City, I have just lightly edited to include some stuff, like a town I have named Lunaris, you should be able to look it up and find it, plus some ruins on the other end from the town, along with a railroad splitting from the main one and reaching towards the town.

Anyways, I wanted to ‘open’ this town as some sort of collaborative mini-project, where you guys can help add things to the island and town. Again, I’m sure someone has done this. I just wanted to see if the community could build a town together.

Cheers, Nomine.

http://opengeofiction.net/#map=10/-46.7845/65.5856&layers=H The default layer couldn’t get it.

A couple hours ago, I requested the territory of Fleeteles (AN129). I’m still waiting, and I haven’t gotten a reply yet. I asked somebody how long does it take, and they said it took them one hour. How long is it supposed to take, and what is the longest it’ll take? Thanks!

In JOSM i did the exact thing to make a city, went to presets, and selected city from making the area, it shows up in JOSM but dosent show in OGF please help

Why are the awkwardly placed countries like Slavonia, Florescenta, Scandmark and Swaldia so empty?

I thought a mapper was only allowed to work on 1 project, and when he/she works on one for considerable amount of time, and maps it out in enough detail, then he will be allowed to work on other territories.

Meanwhile @Andy breaks the rules, somehow aquires 5 territories, and leaves them half finished. Also i would like to know why he used multiple real place names in his mapping(Ljubljana, Zagorsk, Hastings, Königstein)

This is not an attack on @Andy, rather just constructive criticism.

Everyone is welcome to build an embassy on Embassy Road in Carran. If you want you can also build a Embassy of Auleus in your country

I am rather new here and I have created a new city in Meridonia called Auxuburg. It’s a work-in-progress and I would appreciate some tips, comments, and even some help. (Though not much, I’m pretty sure I’ve got this so far, I actually read the FAQ)

The only thing I see wrong with the city so far is the population I put in the note, it maybe a bit too high.

Also, I’m not sure if the city’s loading properly, can any of you see it?

Thanks, Nomine.
