Hi again. I’ve been working on the planning of the geography in AN150k. But first, I’ve been decided a name: Aŭstrasuno Tero. Which means Land of the south sun in esperanto. The country will be esperanto-based, which it could be an isolated languaje for the OGF universe -or I don’t know if there is another one which is using this idea-.

But now, the geography of the country. Let’s look at the map again: Zoom out of the country, with the whole island and its neighbours. Aŭstrasuno Tero is located at the south of that Island -with not name yet-. Mahhal at the east, Asperic Ocean at the north, and Hesperic Ocean at the west and south. I should say that I must message to the admin to know if I can claim the north territory AN150j and that small island at the west AN150i to own a whole country in one archipelago of islands. Place compared to Openstreetmap. Zoom out in OSM. Note Sidney and Melbourne at the top righ corner. It is really at the south, more or less 60° south. Acording to the map of ocean currents map, the country has a cold current at the south and influence of a warm current at the north. This resembles places like Iceland, Norway, Greenland, Alaska, Kamtchatka, south of Chile and Argentina, and Malvinas (Falkland). Iceland, smooth shore with rivers, lagoons and glaciers. Norway, fjords and glaciers. Argentina and Chile, fjords and mountains, glaciers and rivers. Malvinas (Falkland), the combination of above in a small space. The most closest place in the reality is Iceland and Malvinas.

Let’s talk about Aŭstrasuno Tero geography then. There are no names for much things yet. Before defining a maritime border and the shore -I need help with this and agreement wih Mahhal-, I started drawing some islands around the shore to give and appareance like in Chile. Here are some of them:

In this map are marked the places where there will be geographical editions. In green over the ocean there will be islands sorrounding the shore. In blue, over the shore there will editions to terraform fjords, bays and another water formations, in darker blue where there will be interesting things. Inland, in darker blue there will be important rivres, in light blue the glaciers. Mountain ranges are marked as a pointed line.

Vegetation. There will be taiga -in green-, tundra -in brown- and alpine tundra -in white, sorrounding the glaciers and over high mountains-, distributed as the map shows next.

First social draft. It may not be a big country, no more than 5 or 6 million of people lives there. This is a map that it shows the capital, star at the north, the most important cities, in squares, and another populations, dots. The red área shows where there are more concentration of people.

It’s all for now. I’ll look how to build the maritime border. Happy new year 2016.
