map application [MAP APPLICATION] The Charkov Republic

[Charkov]

NOTE: There has been a slight alteration to the borders requested. Look over the imgure link again.

 

Nation on Eurth: The Charkov Republic (new name as it won't be a peninsula anymore)

National Flag: 

Capital Name: Kovchi

Capital Location: See location requested

 

Culture: Eastern Europe and European Russia. Basically a big mix of Finnish, Estonian, Latvian, Lithuanian, Belarussian, and Western Russia.

Climate and Geography: Very cold, similar to Siberia in a lot of ways in terms of climate. (Matches with my chosen area as well) Large mountains on edge of land, specifically the South West edge. Lot's of snowy forests around, but also some plains. Generally quite hilly, a lot of the flatter areas have cities or towns built on them.

History:

Vision Statement:

I have added my cities in the description of the imgur post, but I will add the description here. (Note: This is my first time using Imgur, I will try to fix any problems if it doesn't work for whatever reason. EDIT: It works).

The black line is the rough proposed border, roughly 445 thousand square kilometres. The blue dot in the centre is the capital Kovchi. The red dot in the South is my second city Arldgrod. The purple dot is the third city of Noralzsk. The 2 yellow dots are my ports. I am unsure if the ports count as cities. Since the area looks large on the map, I am unsure if I can have 5 cities/ports on the map as it isn't too much clutter (For example, Garindia has lot's). If I have to stick to 4 for the time being, remove Noralzk the purple dot. The Northern port is Port Ravelski and the port in the East and in the Canamo Sea is Rimerov.

Additional City #1: Arldgrod

Additional City #2: Noralzsk

Additional City #3 (I am unsure if ports count as cities, but this is a port): Port Ravelski

Additional City #4 (Again, a port. If they do count as cities and I can't have this 4th, then remove Noralzsk and this is my third): Rimerov

Points:

Land Area: 2 points. Somewhere under 445 thousand kilometres squared. (That's what area came out to, I didn't mean for it to be just barely in 2 point area. Also this is a max as I might not claim some land near the southern border with Garindia)

Population: 1 point. 22.37 million people.

GDP Per Capita: 1 point. 13 700 ADs or roughly 28 300 [Charkov Currency]

Oh I'm such an idiot 🤦‍♂️

I forgot to add my points. I copied them and deleted them so I could add them at the end but forgot to re-add them. I'll add them now.

Thanks for making the mapplication!

I'll give you a few options that try to match both the climate and the cultures listed. The cultures that you have listed are kind of spread around central Argis, so this isn't going to be perfect. The Russian groups tend to be over towards Garindina but there are also Russian groupings in southern Ahrana. Other Slavic groups are down towards the peninsula that Baltic, Poja and others are. I considered giving you an option down that way but it would fill up the rest of the peninsula and be way outside of your chosen climate. As it is, the other options are probably not as cold as you preferred.

I'll also point out that Eurth's !Finnish language groups are actually in northern Alharu. You may have to reconsider them as a cultural group for Charkova and try to make it a bit less all over the place in general.

Option 1: Argic Ocean

This is basically your chosen location, with the borders tweaked a bit to match the 2 points in land that you went for. It could probably be tweaked to get the precise km2 you wanted but it's good enough for now. I will point out that this isn't super close to some of the cultural groups that you've gone for, though. This is mainly in the !Russian part of Argis.

The area is 449K km2, which is just shy of the 450K km2 maximum of the 2 points in land. I'm sure the borders could be tweaked enough to hit it. This also has your chosen climate and large mountains. Your neighbours will be Prymont, a legacy NPC and Garindina. The latter has a !Russian culture and the former does not but the part of them that you border does.

Option 2: Canamo/Amber Lake

Almost the same land size at 448K km2 but more southerly. Again, !Russian would be the main cultural group and it'd put you nearer to the other !Slavic groups of Eurth. You don't have access to the Argic Ocean directly and the temperature will be broadly that of your chosen one, albeit warmer towards the south. It also doesn't have the large mountains that you wanted. You would border Ahrana, who does have a bit of a mix of cultures in their nation, mainly Scandi and Russian.

Option 3: Amber Lake/Intria

This one is a bit more out there compared to the others. The land size is a hair over the 450K and will likely be tweaked a bit to bring it in line.

Again, it has the right cultural groupings and you're nearer to the other !Slavic areas of Argis, although it's more southern Slavs than eastern and northern. The climate will also be warmer than what you were aiming for initially. I've included it to see if it's something that you might go for. Again, I've aimed to get the right land size for you but it can be tweaked a bit. No big mountains, either.

Your neighbours would be Ahrana again and Rinava, who has a !Slovak majority.

I think I'll go with option one. Russian is supposed to be the majority culture anyways, the others were mostly listed because it was Russia and Eastern Europe. Thanks!

Thanks!

I'm going to ping @Garindina as your only active potential neighbour. This is to see if they have any comments. They have five days from now (so until 14-12-2024) to comment. If they don't, you're good.

After talking with @Charkov, I would like to say that I aproove. But I would also like to leave this are vacant as I’ve plans to expand there for tha past year. Along with makeing the boarders prettier.
