Was browsing the web and stumbled on an old OGF tab. I decided to try my hand at mapping one more time.
I need help though. Not with mapping, I’m fine with that. It’s about getting a territory. I tried many, many times to request a territory, but the answer was always “keep trying, make it bigger,” etc. etc. Now it has become much harder since the implementation of the new territory system to get a territory. What should I do?
Edit: I just noticed that UL303 has been claimed. :,( Are there any available territories consisting of a small peninsula and some small islands? (Can be anywhere, but preferably around a temperate region). Thanks in advance!

Some possible suggestions:
UL207 is a possible choice, though there are quite strict requriments to get it.
Collaborate with others at AR045, which is a Polish-French country south of FSA.
An island nation formerly part of Commonia
A peninsula and other mapping in a much larger territory, also formally part of Commonia.
Ultimately, what are your plans for a personal territory? What is its geography, culture and history? Whats the economy like? These you better start planning if you want one. Otherwise a safe bet is to work with someone, like the new AR045 project. Or if you like to there is also OGF:Lorotban as well, which is inspired by East Timor. https://wiki.opengeofiction.net/wiki/index.php/OGF:Lorotoban

Yeah, speaking as a member of AR001b (Lorotoban), it welcomes people. It's a country with 13 subdivisions, all for beginners. Maybe you can claim one for seeing how it is like (responsibility, collaboration, et cetera).

Thanks all. Who do I write to claim a subdivision in Lorotoban?

Hi,
Great to see you interested in Lorotoban!
Just message admin, or wangi.
Here is the OGF: page of the wiki.
I personally recommend you to claim AR001b-02 or AR001b-12, as you can map/collaborate with many people. Lorotoban lacks collaboration, as most states are 'isolated' from others because they don't share borders.
Thanks!

@zhenkang,
You are partially correct. It is inspired by the island of Timor, not limited to Timor-Leste, which controls on the east part of the island (hence, Timor-Leste (east)). Most of the west is controlled by Indonesia.

I’ll go with AR001b-02 ‘cause it’s smaller :p
Comment from iiEarth on 26 November 2019 at 02:36
Nice! You have two neighbours: iiEarth (me). I own the subdivisions up north, Indahtanah. Down south, you have forkymapper, who owns Lorotoban Tolu.
Good luck!

Perhaps you would be interested in UL160, which is situated between several Scandinavian and German countries as well as a Polish-speaking one?

Eh he already has his territory.
