I tried to smooth sea/lake coastline in my country and I somehow broked it.

I need someone to work on Omniville’s M1 motorway so the motorway can be linked to Freedemia. Thanks!

• Also work on some exits and make new cities around the motorway.

Hi, friends! As someone can notice, I have spent my time trying put as much detail as possible in Bhagurah, the capital of Goytakanya.

Today I finished one project I started last week, in a effort to “revitalize” the comercial center of the city. Well, I think today the “Kentral Komerk Popular” is done.

(in Goytakano language I created, Kentral=Center, and Sentral=Central)

Looking the first way, anyone can imagine it is not so much work, but I tried to manage it the best way. Toilets are away to food shops or restaurants. Shops of fresh or “living” goods, as pet shops, florists, restaurants, seafood etc, are located in outer shops, but clothes, electronics and gift shops are in inner locations. (Exception= in central building, the restaurants are in the central open area).

I think this place as a popular marketplace, so much inspired in “Rua 25 de Março”, in São Paulo-SP, and “Rua Uruguaiana”, in Rio de Janeiro-RJ. Actually, the picture I will use in a future wiki article to Bhagurah city, was taken in “Feirinha da Madrugada”, in São Paulo-SP, where I went last year, a popular marketplace that opens AFTER midnight, hehehe.

I know Bhagurah is the center of a political conflict area, and is not exactly one touristic point, but, if some OGF-citizen is traveling by these islands, I would suggest a visit to Kentral Komerk Popular and buy some gift to friends and family!!

PS: I think about detailing more retail areas around, the economy to 120.000 inhabitants of Bhagurah would not be centered in just one marketplace… but not now… its a lot of work, hehehe!!!

Hello:

Any general or specific comments on my country of Glaster? All places, except Ellmouth and Stewhampton(generally), are far from finished, and will require much more work to complete. Feel free to have a browse around, and you can even add a few things if you want to. Just make sure I know. (You may need to zoom out to see the whole country).

Could anyone add Walt Disney’s original vision/concept for EPCOT in Omniville? It should be connected to M1.

Regular users may have noticed that I have slowly but surely been deleting objects from the old Karolia territory in mid-Archanta. As today is Foundation Day in Karolia, it seems like a good time to talk about proposals on the future of this territory.

My favoured solution for the land once the old objects are removed is for it to become a community territory, with a history as a former Karolian colony. Other than the climate, which is desert, savannah or tropical rainforest, most other details are completely open. It is likely that the country would have a low population density, have Karolian or Romans as a widespread second language and be a developing country. Tea and coffee plantations would be a likely industry, as might fuel and mineral extraction.

• Arataran will be remaining where it is.

• Any alterations to the coastline will not affect the paths of shipping lines.

By the way, I cannot get the country name to display at any zoom level in the new location territory despite copy-pasting it there from the old one.

Hello everybody,

some of you ask me about permition for your country to be former colony of Ingerland. For all your requests my answer will be positive, so there’s no need to do it )) You can edit wiki page of Ingerland and add your country into the list of former colonies. Also there’s the page Timeline of Ingerish colonial history to fill it by significant dates and events concerning the colonial relationship with Ingerland.

I don’t think much about historical affairs, but I would like to finish all battles for independence from Ingerland to extreme date of 1980.

Best regards, Andy

Hello all,

After my discussion about language in my last post I asked the admins if I would be able to move my nation from southern Archanta to NW Uletha for reasons of historical, linguistic and cultural continuity.

The very kind Luciano has agreed to move Mercia this weekend to a spot 100km off the coast of Ingerland and Scandmark and deal with the scaling issues that come with moving a country so far north.

I have decided now would be a good time to change the name of my capital from Elmham to (the more pleasing) Dunwic. I have edited the Wiki and I will edit the mentions on the map at some point this evening.

I am looking forward to making connections with my new Ulethan neighbours and to writing more history and culture for my little island nation.

I just thought that it would be quite nice to build an island “bridge” between our “old world” and the “new world”. When you look on the map, there is half of such a bridge between ER139 and the eastern shore of Norðurland. It would be nice if this island arc would be a liiiiiittle longer, so that it might come quite close to Norðurland’s shore.

I don’t imply that those islands must belong to Norðurland or to ER139; it could also be a third, completely new country. What do you think?

Sometimes in OGF, when I go to the editing menu (the edit page) in the iD editor, all the icons go missing and your cursor gets hidden. This also happens to me in OSM. Does anybody know why?

Is it acceptable to make a meteor crater in OGF? After all, they do exist in the real world!

Hey there,

I will try to keep this short ;) As you’ve might noticed I used a more or less made up language for my country Kojo from the very beginning. The language has been and is still developing, but I would say that I managed so far to keep the language used on the map and in the wiki relatively consistent.

Now, of course I want to make the language also plausible from a geographical and historic point of view. I tried to lay out my basic idea about the origin of Kojolese in the following wiki articles, and would really appreciate it if some of you could quickly glance over the passages and then tell me what you think about the general concepts. I’m already aware that many details will have to be bent to make it work, but probably there are also some major mistakes in it that I haven’t come across yet.

Kojoshi and its history Slightly more extensive history

Some details I think I need to coordinate with the community as a whole are:

*how can I explain the existence of Pyilser (basically Armenian, although I don’t really know anything about the RW language ) as the common language in the area before the 1620’s?

*Belphenia and Hoppon seem to be fitting countries as sources for Japanese (Nihonish?) speakers during the great wave in the 1620’s, but I’m not sure if it’s possible to harmonise our countries’ history in that regard?

*I’m aware that there aren’t any countries with a language based on Chinese on the continent (yet), so do I have to consider to reattribute these words to other language groups? I don’t think reattributing the vocab would be too bad, since the influence isn’t too obvious.

*I think I need Korean and Chinese (or similar languages respectively) as a main influence on the phonological system; especially Korean. I know that Kojolese doesn’t sound anything like real Korean, but the difference between Armenian and Kojolese can’t be explained by just adding some Japanese to it…

How about an organization for the island nations in the north asperic?

I notice this islands are very close together, with many of them having been colonies.

Countries like Lallemand, Cariocas, Niulutan Riu, Brugas, Mallyore, Onnutu, Erzaleria, and Maybe Khaiwoon and Goytakanya?

It seems to me like these countries would benifit from cooperation, since they are so small.

This is my first attempt at a golf course so my question is its realism. Would this be a realistic course to play?

Hello fellow mappers,

Inspired by the UN World Heritage Site list, I created the Assembly of Nations World Monuments list here: http://opengeofiction.net/wiki/index.php/AN_World_Monuments. Please add any sites in your country that are relevant and likely to be on the list. This is at your discretion, but try to keep it to sites that would realistically fit the criteria - a huge palace built by the most powerful emperor would qualify, an obscure and unremarkable town castle wouldn’t. Realistically most moderate sized-countries would contain 5-10 sites, unless they are very important historically (Spain and Italy have a massive number of WH sites in the real world proportionate to their size).

I’ve begun to sketch out a history for my tiny island nation, stranded off the coast of Archanta. I wanted to make it as insular as possible so the nation has never been colonised but has acted as something of an academic centre from the 18th century onwards.

This leads to the question of language. I have created my nation in English but with Anglo-Saxon saints and religion. Would it be realistic to have an old language of Mercian which has mostly died out but remains the language of the national religion and then to have Ingerlish as its replacement?

I would imagine that Ingerlish originated from foreign scholars and traders in the 18th century but by the time of the industrialisation of the nation in the 19th century had replaced Mercian in the realms of education and business. By the 20th century Mercian was broadly forgotten (except in very rural areas) and Ingerlish spoken by 90% of the population. Today there could be a resurgence of interest in Mercian but Ingerlish spoken as the official national language.

This would avoid the need for colonisation by Ingerland and allow me to use English in mapping and writing about the country but also to pepper it with mentions of the old language of Mercian.

Apologies for the long post, let me know what you think.

Has anyone else had problems with borders and some road types not rendering in?

I just got on this morning and thought the map looked a bit empty, then i saw all many internal borders missing.

Hello so I am new here, while an avid world builder, I am not used to JOSM but from what I have read I should be able to do stuff in it. Anyhow the problem is with the connection stuff and just generally editing the map. I cant get a background from the map loaded: its all crossed with big red X’es and basically I dont know how to work with it

What is supposed to happen when I connect JOSM to the api? How can I load the map in?
