Hey you guys,

I was planning on expanding the wikipage of the Drull Free State, a page that was partially written by Luciano and partially by me. The Drull Free State is a community territory, but I am trying to create its background story.

The Drull Free State is going to be a third world country (there seem to be very few of those in OGF), that is still struggling with its colonial past en its post-colonial consequences. Two thirds of the country’s population descent from the slaves that were brought to the country during colonial times. Although slavery is a touchy subject, to say the least, I think it will give the OGF-world a more realistic feel. It would also provide “my country” (Forrintia) with some shady parts for its history, and thus would make its history more interesting.

So I have a couple of questions: 1. Do you guys think that we can write about detailed (fictional-OGF) slavery on the wiki (keeping in mind the sensitivities of former real world slavery), or would that be inappropriate?

1. If we can write about this, were would the slaves come from? I guess the easiest thing would be from other community territories, like commonia. (side-question: Do the Dagenlanden still exist? East-Commonia, has dagelandic as its language, which is dutch, the same as my language in Forrintia. So I see possibilities there).

2. Would everybody be okay with me writing about the Drulli people being from other community territories?

3. Can I use one of your countries as one of the sources of the Drulli people (I know that most of you wouldn’t like that, but it would create opportunities for interesting creool languages and historic ties with other countries )? Or maybe as a source of contract laborers after the abolition of slavery, like like India in the 19th century.

Hi everyone, I was about to upload some changes I had made in Saneus when I got an error saying relation without type, referring to Archanta coastline relation. I didn’t want to upload the changes in case I flooded the continent.

I was creating a beach using the existing coastline and a road.

When I started editing this morning, I downloaded an area of the map. Later on, I needed to download another part which coincided with the one I had already downloaded. Could this be the cause? Some sort of duplication?

This is what I was trying to do: JOSM

And these are the errors: Errors

Anyone can help with the error? I don’t want to lose the changes I’ve done. If you need the .osm file I can provide it to you.

Thanks!

My States and Administrative Boundrys wont Update or Show. My Province names are showing but not borders and i nead help makeing them show

Id like to change the name of the “great north sea” to the “moniranian sea” after the moniranian peninsula where Hyildien lies.

So, I have not made too much editions recently, I’ve been some busy lately. I hope to make more editions, design the capital city, soon.

Anyway: here is a blank map of Aŭstrasuno Tero, AN150k:

Lefts to determinate the number of islands and the total extension of the terrytory.

I’ve made a little territory on the boundary between Reeland and UL021. It’s supposed to be a territory not claimed by either country, like Liberland.

It’s free to edit by anyone (EDIT: I think it’s better to keep it collaborative for now), but I think it’d be better to make a plan first, so please don’t edit without consulting one another.

I’ll make a wiki page and a talk so we can discuss there.

I hope you’ll have fun, regards ^^

Hello!

I am starting an experiment, allowing people to add buildings to Vienna. I am opening the Flintsville area for outside development. If anyone is interested in building, you MUST apply to me first.

For more information, please read ‘Vienna to Allow Foreign Developers’ in the World News.

Basically, I will be allowing people to build homes, businesses, industrial sites, and so on within the Flintsville area. If I deem this trial period a success, I may possibly open other areas for development.

As most of you (if not all of you) know, Quentinsburgh, Freedemia will be hosting the 2016 Summer Geolympiad/Pancontinental Games.

I had been extremely happy when I had won, knowing the work I’d put into the bid itself; however, there was one thing that kind of bothered me. Out of most of the major cities that I ran against, my venues actually looked worse than my competitors. Looking at the beautiful Olympic Park in Remiville or the venues in Gata, Yury and the skilled mapping of the venues in Old City, Neo Delta, I realized I needed to go back and work on fixing my venues, especially those in the Spectrum Geolympiad Complex.

So in the last few days, I did. I suppose with several venues deleted, improved or moved I’ll have to spend some time fixing the 2016 Summer Geolympiad wiki page. However, I just wanted to show some of the work I’ve done to make the area better.

Here’s an overview of the entire area near the complex:

And this is the complex itself closer up

A close up of the completely redesigned much nicer and more realistic Spectrum Geolympiad Stadium up close, with a view of new parking areas and some artwork of the logo in the front lawn (I worked hard on it! :) )

http://opengeofiction.net/#map=16/-3.3527/-2.3432

In addition to all that, I added a mall/hotel complex visible in the first link and second link where one of the older venues used to be to help with holding tourists (mainly the high level ones, an increase in motels and smaller hotels for other tourists is happening as well).

I hope to make all of the complex’s subway stations as good as the one for line 7 (and line 13, I need to edit that)

http://opengeofiction.net/#map=16/-3.3477/-2.3400

But I think it’s starting finally to look like a world class venue.

My state borders in Freedemia stopped rendering with the new map style at the level I had drawn them as; could someone help me make them render again? I can’t find all of them without being able t see all of them and I’m not sure what level is below country but high enough to render. I see most other nations didn’t have this issue. Could someone help me please? (It would also be awesome if someone could help me make state names render as well.) Thanks, Ernestpcosby

In a recent diary entry discussing the possibility of a World War, we started trying to develop ideas to create a more cohesive political/economical history. However when doing that the question came up about community territories. Udi had asked whether in something like the powerblocs being discussed whether blue community territories should stay unalligned or neutral.

In response to this, I looked at the OGF:Territories page to see which nations were blue to come up with my opinion. It was upon seeing it that I realized the nature of blue territories is HUGELY different from nation to nation. I noticed the chaotic nature of Commonia/West Commonia and the organized nature of developed nations like Mecyna, Gobbrassanya and Midistland, even if still under construction, are like day and night. Do you think perhaps Commonia and West Commonia should become the only two nations made for new mappers and the others to be considered more collaborative or to be categorized differently, perhaps as an admin-controlled collaborative nation? to 1) help create a more cohesive political and economical balance within the OGF world and 2) help protect the work and ideas in organized countries like Gobrassanya and Midistland? Commonia seems large enough in itself for new mappers to have plenty of space to use it as a sandbox. Not to mention, an increased density from more new mappers could actually help Commonia look more realistic, even if not very great (a giant somewhat dense anarchist nation even in real life probably wouldn’t look very nice anyhow :P)

What do you think, admin? (And other mappers?) It just seems like some of these blue territories have huge potential to be great admin-controlled community nations (Maybe red territories?) where the collaborative aspect is still there and it’s still open but the admin and community make the history and such work with the rest of the world.

Hey you guys,

I was wondering wether there was going to be an update of the OGF: Area table anytime soon. The last update was several months ago, and I would realy like to know how big my provinces are. I wouldn’t mind helping out once in a while if it is a lot of work for the admins to update the page, but i don’t know how the areas are calculated…

Thanks in advance,

TRJ

there are some places that if viewed in open topemap or style by histor they show terrain and height, how do I make this in my contry?

i made an island ( edit 162236 ) and i did it in podlatch but its way to big so can an admin please resize it or do i nead to edit it becouse i dont know how to resize things.

Do you think we could have them? I have a few ideas for a World War in the 1950s.

I was just wondering, I know Freedemia is in an area that in general makes it extremely warm and humid, but could something like El Nino create an unusually cold season where temps dip into 30’s (F) or below 0 (C)? Comparing to other extremely humid places I had originally planned for minimum “winter” temperatures to be around 60 degrees Fahrenheit. I was thinking of (if scientifically feasible) making a strangely cold season this year due to El Nino. Is this actually feasible?

Do we have anyone like that? If we do I wouldn’t mind it running a theme park I added in Mariana (here: http://opengeofiction.net/#map=13/3.3102/54.3579 ). I was hoping to have it similar to Disneyland Paris.

Cleared entry.

I’ve recently been wondering what trade Glaster has with other countries, if any at all. I’ve already established that Glaster has a successful glassware industry, dating back more than 700 years. The two main companies that operate in that sector are Centuria Glassware and Glaster Crystal.

I am aware that Glaster is situated on a major sea passage, which will be beneficial, but it was under Ingerish control until the 1970s. However, I have no idea what materials to sell or trade with other countries. Does anyone have any other ideas?

Here are mine so far, in no order:

1. Oil (Probably needs an offshore oil rig for that somewhere)
2. Limestone (Probably somewhere in the north or west)
3. Chemicals (Sulphuric acid/ammonium/lime based products, such as quicklime or slaked lime)

Map of Glaster for reference: http://opengeofiction.net/#map=9/52.1065/129.4354

Do any of you have pages for them? Lyrics? I am working on one for Mariana,
