This post is ten months late.
On New Years of 2016, I received my first bit of territory on OpenGeofiction. I started work, but I quickly hit a roadblock. I was having more ideas for my territory than I could map while simultaneously having no "vision" as to how the country was going to be like at the end and progress was going really slowly because I wanted to use JOSM (two hours wasted raging at the relation editor, or lack thereof, on New Years!). Couple that with an absolute lack of neighbors and the fact I was using an invented language and you pretty much have a recipe for disaster (at least I didn't break Antarephia's coastline). This meant that after just one month of editing I decided to look for a better place to place my country in and after searching a bit I found my spot - not too far from my old location, actually - on an island off the coast of southern Tarephia, which is where (aside from occasional forays into Gobrassanya) my edits have been concentrated ever since. With the little space I had, I had to think very creatively to put everything where it needs to be.
After a few weeks I got a neighbor, refried sushi, who eventually proposed a short history of the region that our nations (and a bunch of others') are located in. Which means that I can now extend this history to the present day, giving me more hints to how my country was going to be like.
Breaking my arm also helped. No, I am not joking.
Abrilleron is a former Ingerish colony which was established relatively early. The Ingerish left the colony alone in the early 18th century hover. Abrilleron then promptly joined the Ardoin Trade League (see above). Following its collapse in 1880, Abrilleron descended into a civil war that ended in 1905, marking the day of the creation of today's republic.
Anyways, there is a second nation next to mine - Massentia, my own country and a microstate primarily focused on agriculture, created after 1905. This country is still a monarchy, and proud of its past, though it will never go back to its beginnings, which it claims were the first independent Abrilleran state, a kingdom.
This is where most of my edits were in the last few days and I have to say that it already looks quite good. Take a look.
Other areas I have focused on are Akesia (and surroundings), the capital of Abrilleron, Borders City, where the bridge across to Mallorjhe is located, and Noian-Piruna in Gobrassanya.
That would be all.
