Hello, I am the owner of the Pretanic Faction State south of Pretany, a former shire of the main country. The country is a Theonomic Unitary militarized dictatorship with little to no human rights. There is a sacrificial religion called "Cuppa" that has taken over the kingdom and removed the Catholic Church there from power and all of the residents are required to worship the god of cuppa and it's practices. Not everyone adheres to that policy though.
Here is an external view of the PFS. https://wiki.opengeofiction.net/wiki/index.php/Pretanic_Faction_State
I encourage all new users (and older users) to come from the blue terriroties and map in PFS. I am setting some conditions to the mapping in PFS.
Any new mappers will be assigned a duchy within the country. You are to map WITHIN the borders of that duchy only and with supervision from me and user: zhenkang.
This is an internship so to speak. You are learning to collaborate with each other on your borders and how to function in a productive manner to produce aesthetic looking maps. The mods have the right to tell you to change something if it is outlandish. In the most polite manner possible. We also hold the right to "tweak" but only before letting you know what we are doing and why it needs to be done. including but not limited to, scale inaccuracies, unauthorized motorways, city grids that are not neat and organized. The quality of your mapping = how much we let you map without interruptions. More experienced or talented mappers may never be bothered at all as long as something is not completely astray. This is a learning experience and a "school" of sorts. Please set your expectations to that level moving forward.
If you do not want a full duchy, you can map within a "residential land use" of a small town or city within the PFS, and that includes the city of Antigo with help from zhenkang and I.
The PFS has mainly Algonquin-like location names, with many street names references members of the "revolution" and other ingerish/anglo dominated names. There is a strong pretanic culture within the country itself. The Antigo language is a loose mutated form of Algonquin and arabic combined, widely spoken, and growing yearly. Have fun with the culture. It is not going to be micromanaged in terms of region to regional differences during the mapping process, but I do want it uniform across the entire country.
PFS is very central and south american in it's road layout. It is an very ancient area, so many cities may even have an ancient "square" where there used to be a temple for cuppa sacrificial worship.
Any motorways are SET IN PLACE unless needed to be moved in 1-3 km or below increments around towns and cities, This keeps the motorways currently in place from becoming messy. Any additional motorways must be approved by me or zhenkang.
I also encourage ALL members, not just new people, to message me or post below and get assigned an area.
This is an impoverished totalitarian dictatorship with cruel tendencies like North Korea. Think of all of the atrocities that may or may not happen in the real world, and even in possibly fiction like the handmaids tale, and add that to this country. Zones, tent cities, concentration camps, "indoctrination" schools. Large halls in every town for local oligarchy meetings. The original layout of what PFS looked like before the government takeover is vague and always "hinted" at in the mapping. Examples would be former commercial centers converted into churches, Former non-cuppa religious institutions burned to the ground, tightly guarded housing "districts" that were formerly loose suburbs, government corporations and housing stock linked to the same property. like a "company store" or a "company housing"
HAVE FUN!!!!
By the way, I have set up an embassies district in Antigo, so you can write on the OGF:embassies page regarding building embassies in Antigo.
