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!

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.

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.

Hey guys, Froggychum here.

If you care, Ive been gone for a few days…

This is because me and my family had to head up north to go see my grandfather in a hospice.

Sadly, he passed away.

Im still not sure if Ill be here for the next couple days (I might have to go back), but thats why I couldnt be on recently.

Anyway, I’m fine, and I hope you all had fun without me.

Will be coming back ASAP

<3 for all

Hi! I’ve done an airport. I have never been on one (and hopefully i won’t need to), so I’d like to ask you is it okay. I know it is really basic and propably lacks some major feature, but hopefully with your advice I can do better. What do you think? By the way, the airport is open to flights up to 800km, so if you want to fly here - message me. And one more question - i’ve used Key:name:de and Key:name:en here, does it display correctly on your computer’s language settings?

Hi there,

on Facebook, I’m following a group called Map Porn. They share Posts about maps and things about maps of any kind. Take a look:

Maybe we could contact the admin team and ask if they would like to feature OGF on their page. What do you think, is this kind of “active marketing” useful?

Greetings, Markus

What railway gauge(s) does your country use? I’m just curious, sorry if this has been discussed before.

Drabantia uses three gauges:

  • 1435 mm - vast majority of tracks
  • 1000 mm - trams in smaller cities/towns (they’re not mapped yet)
  • 760 mm - industrial spurs and railways in mountainous areas (they’re also not mapped yet, heh)

These people on this website seem really nice! I have a few qustions:

-How do I officially make my city? (I dont have a territory yet) -Where should I start for the world lore (I like to read as chronologicaly as possible)?

That’s all, I’ll look more stuff up now…

Anyway, thanks for reading this diary, and could you please direct me to important resources?

As the majority of you guys know. This world is extremely wealthy when compared to earth because most people want a country that is rich. Of course I felt the urge to build a United States like country since I live in the U.S, and I am sure it is the same for msot of you guys. I so far have not made any extremely wealthy countries but made two nations that likely will be middle of the road. Hoppon somewhere between China/Malaysia/Eastern Europe levels of development. Lallemand, better than most African nations but still pretty poor. I want to ask more specifically if any of you guys implement poverty into you mapping. By what I mean, extremely wealthy areas even in a high density situation are lower density (30 apartments per floor vs. 4) while poor areas are a lot higher density. This is not true across the board but can be followed in any country that isn’t the U.S.

Also as someone who is interested in criminal activity (don’t take this the wrong way), just as much as city planning. Almost every city I build have accompanying murder rates to follow. I was wondering how is criminal activity in your country. Who commits crimes? Is it poor immigrants? Is it teenagers or young adults? Or is it middle aged men (gangsters)? Is it rural people moving to an urban environment? How do gangs normally start in your country, or is there even any gangs?

their are some pages, that you can add to the dark side of your cities if you want to http://wiki.opengeofiction.net/wiki/index.php/List_of_cities_by_homicide_rate As mentioned early since I like detective shows and the history of crime and how policies have been made that lower or higher crime etc. Most cities on this list are from my nation of Lallemand.
