Hi mappers!

It has been a long time since my last (and only -_-‘ eheh) diary.

Durign the last three months, in a realy slow pace (because I got into University this year), I worked in three main projects: Nelyto City, Ordyo/Puntick Metropolis and Yuris International Relations.

Nelyto City project is now paused. Nelyto was basicly my experience site. It was my first city, and it was created only with iD, so it has some problems with scale and coastline detailing that I will fix in the future.

Puntick and Ordyo: History

Now, I started using JOSM and Puntick is the “construction site”… Puntick is the old sister of the Yurin capital, Ordyo City. It is located in Girotera Peninsula facing Hallgarve Sea and the Narrow of Ickarion. The first written record wich refers Puntick goes back to 750 a.C. and since then the region has been inhabited. It was the capital city of the region where Yuris is nowadays (in the 14th and 15th centuries, the entire region was occupied by a kingdom called Hallgarv) from 1333 to 1462.

Ordyo City, in the other hand, is one of the most recent world cities. Its construction was proposed by Lenz B. Albano Government in 1957 and was approved in referendum. The idea behind the Ordyo City construction was to “rebuild” the old city of Nodoyeh, the first capital of Yuris that was destroyed in the 14th century by the Hallgarv Kingdom. Since its destruction there were several attempts to rebuild Nodoyeh. However, the ideia of restoring the old Yuris Kingdom glory remained in people’s mind. In the 20th century, when utopian/distopian cultural movements appeared in Yuris, the idea became even more desired. When Puntick started to have urban and social problems, it became imperative to find a solution. President Lenz B. Albano sugested the construction of Ordyo in 1957, the “dream became true” in 1962 and a new capital city was born.

(I will develop the history of this region further in an upcoming wiki article)

Hey, everyone!

Now that I’m on OGF for a few months I think it is time to “think out loud” and share some ideas and projects.

I’ve requested a country some time ago and I’ve been working on it. Real life got realy complicated so the progress is not at full rythm. However it gives me some time think and dig deeper on the projects I want to do in OGF.

For now the project is Nelyto City, the third largest city in Yuris. I’ve decided not to star with the capital city because I want to make it a “special” and in a more complex and large way. So, by doing other cities and building other parts of the coutry I hope to get more bases to the “Big Plan”.

Nelyto is the first project of a hole country that I want to build. I’ve already done the basic structure of the city and outlined its history. Now, inpired by other users’ projects (like QUARTA, Trevers Metro and others), I’m developing the public transportation system of the city in the map itself and in the wiki (I’m realy excited with wiki, although when I joined the OGF community I thought I would not dedicate much time to the wiki).

I don’t want to make this post much longer so, here is what I have so far! :D

I hope you enjoy! Best regards!

P.S. Sorry if there are any errors in the writing… I don’t speak english many times, so it is likely that there is a lot of them :S

History

As one of the first cities of the country and one of its main harbours, Nelyto is a very rich city in terms of history. The foundation of Nelyto goes back to the contruction of Castelo de São Francisco (Saint Francis Castle). Over time, the city began to expand, firstly by adding a new wall to the city and then by expanding outside the walled city.
