As applications for West Uletha will open next Friday, I have already started preparing material on the territory I want to apply for, namely UL156.
UL156 will be a East Norse/Slavic-influenced country that consists mainly of mountains in the south and west, farmland in the center and east and a forest and lake landscape in the north.
It will be a fascist dictatorship (possibly with ties to Antigo?) that operates under a "neofeudalist" system and enslaves its citizens in work camps. Nevertheless, it will have a rich history and culture, with old cities and castles everywhere.
The capital and the larger cities will house the elite, while the countryside will be separated into major private estates of the rulers and work camps. The border area will be heavily militarized, with obstacles and fences primarily to prevent citizens from fleeing rather than fend off invasion.
The southern and southwestern areas will be primarily influenced by Austria in the style of mapping and Switzerland, the central areas by Central Germany, the north by Scandinavia and the secondary ridges and southern meadows by Silesia and the Tatra area.
What do you think? Any ideas?
