I apologize for the harshness of some of my peers in the last post, but what some of them were trying to explain is that your city is mapped in a country you’re not allowed to edit in. Malkotland is an owned country, and as a new mapper you’re supposed to start off in one of the “blue” countries, or free-to-edit countries, until you’ve mapped for a while (minimum 7 days) and gotten a feel for OGF how it works and improve a tad. The admins explain it here a little clearer: OGF:About_OpenGeofiction
Other than that, for future mapping in territories where you’re allowed to map, I’d just give the same advice I gave Edalia on the other post- take a look at some real life towns and places on OpenStreetMap and get a feel for how things tend to look in towns and how to go about mapping them.

Hi, Maxine,
I apologize for the harshness of some of my peers in the last post, but what some of them were trying to explain is that your city is mapped in a country you’re not allowed to edit in. Malkotland is an owned country, and as a new mapper you’re supposed to start off in one of the “blue” countries, or free-to-edit countries, until you’ve mapped for a while (minimum 7 days) and gotten a feel for OGF how it works and improve a tad.

I hope you understand, and happy mapping!
