'''Antigo''', officially the '''Socialist Republic of Antigo''', often referred to by some nations as the '''Pretanic Faction State (of Antigo)''', '''Pretanic Antigo''', '''Antigoan Pretany''' or '''Pretanic State of Antigo''' (abbreviated as '''PFS''', '''PFS of Antigo''' or '''Antigo (PFS)'''), is a landlocked state in central [[Uletha]]. To its north and west, it is bordered by [[Pretany]], with the heavily fortified [https://opengeofiction.net/way/11767614 Pretanic Demilitarised Zone] separating the two states, while to its east and south it is bordered by [[Suria]] and [[Mazan]] respectively.

The Kingdom of Antigo is believed to have been formed in the 4th century BC, which ruled over what is currently Antigo and parts of Pretany and Mazan. After the [[Siege of Antigo]], following conflicts of control over the trade routes in Antigo, Antigo is under [[Inara|Inaran]] rule, and later Pretanic rule from the 14th century onwards after the fall of Inara. In the 1930s, tensions between the Antigaon shires and the kingdom of Pretany escalated over the then king's controversial proposals to assimilate the Antigoans. Soon after the Antigoan Liberation War, Antigo was ruled by a provisional government under a monarchy which was shortly taken over by Antigoan socialists led by [[John Briarmack]]. Under his rule, Antigo became known as a totalitarian dictatorship, claiming to be a self-reliant state following the key principles of Cuppa. From the 1990s, Antigo faced a severe famine that resulted in the deaths of many citizens, and the population continues to suffer malnutrition. Antigo is a country with one of the highest number of military and paramilitary personnel, with a total of 9,495,000 active, reserve and paramilitary personnel. The nation is known to have possessed nuclear weapons and often gave empty threats to its neighbours.
The server structure is similar to, but not identical to, that found at OpenGeofiction.


The state is often infamous for its records of human rights abuses with 80% of the population living in abject poverty. Though repeatedly the state denies such allegations, it often promised the regime will change for the improvement of the people's lives. The capital of Antigo is [[Antigo City]], while the largest is [[Kontroga]].

Revision as of 15:47, 21 September 2019

Arhet is the name of a planet.

The planet Arhet is the planet currently hosted on the map portion of the Geofictician site (see link to left, "Geofictician map", or window below).

Loading map...

The server structure is similar to, but not identical to, that found at OpenGeofiction.

I have decided to try an experiment. I am intending to open Arhet to a limited number of other mappers. In principle, this is no different from the OpenGeofiction model. However, in implementation, I plan to take a different route. Here is a first draft of planned rules.

This project is "live", now. I have added my first user. I'm hoping for feedback about the proposed ideas, below, and to gauge interest.

Rules

  1. Luciano is god in Arhet. My word is law. Period.
  2. Arhet is not "open" in the way that OpenGeofiction is "open." Participation is by invitation. If you wish to request an invitation, you should contact me via email. If you can't figure out my email, you probably don't deserve to participate. Hint: my name, at my domain.
  3. For now, invites will only be offered to OGF participants in good standing. Anyone with a history of sockpuppetry, disrespectful mapping, etc., on that site will not be considered.
    • For now, I will ask users to use the same username as on OGF. This just makes it easier for me to decide if you're a decent person or not.
    • This might change in the future.
  4. Arhet is not to be the same kind of planet as OGF, however. I currently expect it will be quite a bit more chaotic. That's because...
    • There will be no wiki. This wiki, that you are reading, is mine. For my projects. If you want to wikify your mapping on Arhet, find or build your own wiki elsewhere.
    • There will be no verisimilitude rule. Map what you like - in your assigned area.
    • There will be no plan for a planet-wide coherent geology, ecology, history, culture, or language. Those things were neglected on OGF at the beginning, and efforts to retcon them later are depressing. We avoid the problem by stating at the outset that these things are irrelevant.
    • There will be no user diaries. If you want to write about your mapping, start a blog or something.
  5. There aren't that many rules, but there is zero tolerance for rule violations. Immediate banning, no discussion. Period.
  6. Mappers can be asked to leave for any reason, or for no reason. In general, if your map is interesting and you keep in your assigned area, I won't object.

Implementation

  1. Users are expected to connect to Arhet using JOSM. I have seen very little evidence that high-quality geofiction is possible using iD or Potlatch. So deal with it.
  2. For now, because I can't be bothered, there will be no automated map update. I'll set a job to run updates a few times through the day. I may get organized and implement something if things go well and the site becomes popular. So you won't get immediate feedback on the map for your work.
    • I will happily kick off the update manually on a request basis, if you ask politely and I'm not busy with something else. But I am often busy with something else...
  3. Users will be assigned territory by "degree square." This means exactly one degree of width, longitude, by one degree of height, latitude. You get open ocean. Build islands, collaborate with neighbors to build continents, whatever. If you map outside your assigned degree square (except with permission in one owned by another person), that's instant banning.
  4. Currently users will be granted any open degree square in Southern Hemisphere. I'm keeping the Northern Hemisphere in reserve.
  5. That's a lot of degree squares. Between 0 and 80 south, and from 180 west to 180 east, that's 28800 possible squares. So... additional degree squares will be granted to users who do something interesting to their first ones.
  6. The above doesn't mean I have tolerance for grandiose or megalomaniacal projects ("Hey can I have 2000 degree squares I wanna build a continent"). My own experience shows that we geoficticians generally bite off more than we can chew.
