I think you will have more success to get some collaboration if you build a “story” for your country (or at least outline some ideas in your map, maybe putting some interesting place-names or forests or something… ). What makes it unique? What is the language or cultural background?
OGF has so many “Anglosphere clones” - basically “New America” “New Australia” etc. I think if you can offer some specific variation (a good example is Gobrassanya, which although “Anglosphere” nevertheless has a certain exotic component - it’s maybe more like Malaysia or something).
If you’re having a hard time coming up with ideas, think about what is unique or interesting about whatever real world maps you like best, and think about how to make that into the basis for a “country.”
I noticed a city called Ouroboro. That’s interesting to me… you might go somewhere with that. It’s a mythological reference, the dragon of infinity… Would be a good flag for your country, too. Or even lead to a new, more creative name…
Omniville sits right on the equator… perhaps it is a tropical paradise? Perhaps it is a war-torn failed state? What’s your hope or plan or intention? If you tell us, you might get someone who is inspired to help out.
I’m not saying this to discourage you. I just mean that if someone just wants to draw maps on a blank slate, they have all of Commonia, or their own country, or can adopt some empty country. So they have no reason to come draw in Omniville, at the moment. So it seems to me that the best way to get collaboration is to build a “frame” that can help inspire people to fill it in.

Luciano’s advice is very good.
I would only add this: if you don’t really have any ideas for the story or background of Omniville, and your real goal is simply the enjoyment of working with others, then you might want to consider joining one of the existing projects rather than starting one yourself.
There are a lot of people working on a lot of group projects out there and they would love to get to know you. :-)
