Does anyone have problems deleting or editing existing stuff? Both in iD and Potlach I can't delete or e.g. change the size or form of structures... I can add new things though... O.o

Very large OGF map
Using the power of MS paint, screenshots and the bucket fill tool, I have assembled a map of the entire OGF world.
What is it?
It is a very large map of the available OGF world on 'standard' layer, taken at zoom level 4.
Can I use it?
Yes you can. You do not need any permission. If you want to update the map for a new country or changed borders, ask me please. I don't want any portions misaligned!
What is it for?
I would think this would just be for general reference, country size comparisons and draft maps for very large features like mountains or international organisations.

Praises
Just a small sidenote- huge thanks to Azaz 0913 and Bstn for creating the railway line template. It's one of my favorite features on Wikipedia and I'm so glad we have it here now. Keep up the good work, gents!

Uletha is flooded
Uletha is flooded again. Using the very handy coastline info map I think I've found the problem, which is located in Raiden along this stretch of bridge here. Before any changes are made, can anyone back me up on this?

My country has been flooded!
I guess that's the message subject will have an idea of the problem ... This morning I made some changes in Port Elizabeth this. Everything seemed right, but I reentered this afternoon to do other editions and have found that my island was being flooded. I tried to find out what happened, but what little they do find the node that I think causes the problem: http://opengeofiction.net/node/37362329 part of the route http://opengeofiction.net/way/4608024 and http://opengeofiction.net/way/3964312

Do you remember that?
I rememebered yesterday a page on the wiki or an article on the User Diaries that gave a bunch of country names and said if they were relevant on the world or not, and also a sample sentence like "Spiders? We have them, but we don't care".
I can't find it!!

Geolympic event
I plan to apply for the Geolympic Summer Games 1988. At the moment not everything is done, especially the city and the infrastructure need more details to be accepted. In addition to the games (buildings, venues and a list of all sporting events) I plan to simulate the results.
My idea to simulate all events in a few words: I think to host a Geolympic event is a great reward. In the same way, having successful athletes is a honour for a country and should not be randomly or decided by the "first come, first serve"-principle as it is done at the moment. Therefore the simulation of these events is part of my proposal. How it works?
Do you know the card game Top Trumps? It will be a basic ingredient of the simulation.
First think of two countries, both have the same number of mapped sporting facilities and the same level regarding wiki-articles, which is one important fact. So both countries are allowed to decide how to distribute the same number of points in some sport-related categories on the card. Small and undeveloped countries have less points, large high developed countries have more points.
In the sport event cards of countries are compared to each other. Which categories are compared depends on outside influences, is to some extent randomly chosen and also depends on the opponents. So all have the chance to win, however high effort in mapping and writing yield better chances :) One positive secondary effect would be that also unpopular sports (-> all sports except soccer and racing) are developed in OGF!
What do you think?

City of Lhes
During this week I had a little problem with my islands, and while it solved @Ūdilugbulgidħū (since I had no idea) I have dedicated to the design of a small town in central Bizaradia.
For the design of the city I have tried to keep as much detail as possible (although I still have to allocate shops ...) and a good scale.
Context
The city lies in a wide and fertile plain in central Bizaradia, the left bank of a river (located east of the city) as its main industry is agriculture.
The city began to build in the late sixteenth century and therefore does not present a too important historical center: it is to create, and will be located above the cathedral and the right side of Independence Avenue.
For now, round by now 20,000 inhabitants, but it should be twice as big and reach 40,000 City lhes
Infrastruture
The city has two tram lines that link with the nearby towns and villages, connection motorway, country road and train.
It has a hospital that caters to the entire region
For now this is all in the city, but still has more development.
¿Some constructive criticism / review about the city?

Isle & City Games
The Isle & City Games are my creation to provide a sporting arena for small nation states, city states and islands who wouldn't be able to host a Geolympiad event and who aren't all that competitive in the medals table.
Founded in 2000, the first ICG were in Myrcia in 2004. The games are bi-annual and take place in the spring, around late-April. The events are a scaled-down version of the Geolympics. The host nation selects 25 events to host which can range from sailing to decathlon to lacrosse.
Any nation of under 2 million can compete. Any city with a population of under 2 million can enter as a city team. Any semi-autonomous island or group of islands with a population of under 2 million can enter as an island team.
There will be no formal bidding process for the games as there are with the Geolympiads. There are seven available games from 2006-2018 available on the wiki page. You can claim these freely and use them to bring together your sporting facilities in a single city, island or small nation.
OOC
These games give me (and other mappers with smaller nations or islands) the chance to create scaled-down Geolympic-type facilities but they I don't plan to go as in-depth with the sports or statistics as some people do here on OGF. If that would be something you'd enjoy then feel free to collaborate and edit the wiki pages.

Status of Agarderia
Agarderia is undergoing a civil war, which has been largely won by the new government established by Glaster with the aid of the AN. The source of the conflict originated in the 20th century which is outlined below.
- Agarderia was a right wing democratic nation which transitioned to a dictatorship in the 1930s. It then became very close to the Commonian fascist government.
- Commonia propped up Agarderia against communism for much of the early 40s. A failed communist revolt lead to the displacement of the native Agarderian government with one directly controlled by Commonia in January 1945.
- A large communist revolution in spring 1945 lead to a year long civil war. Glastian communists invaded and occupied east Agarderia, depriving the fascists of their fuel storages in the country.
- The communists had won the war by 1946 and had set up a new government. In 1947, a large number of Glastian communist troops and civilians fled to the still occupied Glastian Agarderia.
- Glastian Agarderia was made a semi-autonomous body in the new Socialist Agarderia. Glastian Agarderia housed Glaster's communist government-in-exile.
- After crippling economic trouble and a bout of hyperinflation in the mid 1980s, Agarderian communism ended in 1986 with a transferral to democracy.
- Failing to address the problem with Agarderian neo-communists based in Glastian Agarderia, the country descended into civil war once again in 1998. From 2003 to 2007, Agarderia was an AN mandate.
- Glaster and Agarderia have managed to cut off GA's access to the sea. Most trade with the rogue nation has stopped, but owing to its small population, it is able to minimally support itself.
- Agarderia has decided to leave the country in isolation rather than deciding to invade it. Currently both the outlawed Agarderian communist party and the Glastian communist government-in-exile are stationed there.
Some possible points to discuss:
What relations your country has with Agarderia, Glastian Agarderia, Glaster or any of the previous governments of the respective nations.
How many countries recognise Agarderia as a legitimate entity.
How the AN and other organisations have reacted to the Agarderian situation.

Some doubts
How can I get a grey map (one of these used to show the location of countries, just like in Wikipedia)?
Can I actually edit the topo map and make it look like a real topo map?

Looking for feedback
Hey, I've signed up over a year ago but haven't really been that active since then. However, the past few weeks/months I tried improving my country Elhádhon.
I'm rather proud of my achievements around the area of Andreassjäda which is supposed to resemble a rather fertile area with focus on agricultural use. It provides the rather arctic country with food. However, before getting more into detail and work (which I plan to do the next few weeks), I'd like to receive some feedback from you guys.
Thanks in advance, Hmniak

Social networks, internet pages etc.
Recently it hit me- how come do we not have any (relevant) fictional web pages in OGF yet? Well, I spent the past few days brainstorming intensively and here are some ideas I came up with.
A search engine
There are plenty of them in the real world, but I think we'll be fine with just one for now. As a test of pronounceability, I always try to use them in the sentence "If you don't know, just ___ it!"
- Lokker - playing around with "look up"
- Ding - obvious Bing reference. don't like this one very much because "ding it" sounds like a substitute swear word (like saying "dang it" instead of "damn it")
- Najdu.db (pronounced "nye-do") - an all-Drabantian search engine, in translation "I will find.db"
A video site
Look, the office workers in your countries just need to have a website to go to, procrastinating watching endless cat fail compilations.
- Playday - well the videos are so good, you'll want to watch them all day
Social networks
Before you go like "ugh who even uses facebook in 2016 anymore," remember there are soccer moms and lorry drivers in the OGF world too.
- Friender - a facebook-ish thing
- Beeper? Chirper (haa who else hated that b**** bird in Cities:Skylines)? - a twitter-ish thing
- Snapdat! - yeah this one is not very original, but its teenage users are here for the dog filter and not the name, duhh
- Blurda - "blurter," a place for anyone to blurt out their feelings and opinions in (real-life tumblr)
And also the most needed:
- Tender. Timber. Tinner. - just whatever
Other
- Pokemon Go. I am not a player or a Pokemon fan so I just have no idea
- Memes.
Write your ideas and suggestions!
