I am not exactly sure how to do relations, I am currently trying to organize regions in my 2nd country Hoppon, but I’m not sure how to make relations can anyone help me out by eplaining and also making some relations for my countries regions. which are Uemura Region- Rory, Lake Uemura and Nete are located in this region Tanaka Region- Carain, Kinashita, Yeet, Yagga, Coram, Sables du Nord are located here. Kinashita Region- Nottogarre is located here,Endo is located here, It is just south of Yonne Province in Ataraxia and Trax a city in Ataraxia. Masuzoe Province- Masuzoe Lake, Nabunga, Saichi, Ryoku and other cities are located here. I am trying to make them show on the map kind of like what Ataraxia is doing. http://opengeofiction.net/#map=8/28.787/113.165

THIS wiki article really got me set up: http://opengeofiction.net/wiki/index.php/OGF:Administrative_boundaries I’d recommend you to use JOSM, and just to carefully read and work through step by step the article I’ve linked above.

I learned everything I know about relations by opening other people’s mapped areas in JOSM and studying how they were done. Obviously, when you open other people’s work in JOSM, you shouldn’t make changes or upload those changes.
Actually, for a while as I was learning, I used to download and open “real world” places from the Openstreetmap data - I spent many hours studying well-mapped parts of the U.S., Europe, and Latin America. I learn best by example rather than by tutorial or instructions, so this system worked really well for me. I still have lots of mapped OSM areas from all over the world saved on my computer, and since it doesn’t really matter if they’re up-to-date, whenever I’m trying to figure out how to make something (stadiums, borders, schools, whatever I happen to be working on), I will open one and study some area that I am familiar with for a while.
Don’t be afraid to look at other people’s work, just always be careful never to save changes you might make as experiments to other people’s areas. That’s the best advantage of JOSM is that you can view and edit areas “offline.”
