I have no earthly idea how I will do Russia. Any ideas, y'all?
Maybe start with the individual republics of the Russian Federation.
How much of Russia are you going to do? All of it?

yep, all of it.Maybe start with the individual republics of the Russian Federation.

yep, all of it.
My main issue was, how to depict it on the map (district drawing, eh, I know exactly how I'll do that)? I was thinking, now, as a makeshift solution, do European Russia as I did Turkey, while giving Asian Russia its own section elsewhere.
I was thinking a small map on the side somewhere that's big enough to cover Asian Russia.Inset maps? Have more than one map?
I am not really uniform in this. I use English names more but I use some Russian transliterated names to infuse some kind of Russian flavor to balance that out a bit.Hi, I noticed your districts' names were a bit incorrect in Russian, but while trying to rewrite them I realised I need you to clarify a few naming things
Are you using Russian transliterated names (Moskva, Sankt-Peterburg, Rostov-na-Donu) or English names (Moscow, Saint Petersburg, Rostov-on-Don)? Looks like a mix between the two in SPb.
When you use cardinal directions, are you looking for, for example, "Moscow - the West", "Western Moscow" or "Moscow, the Western district"? The translation may vary depending on this.
I don't have a particular Russian translation in mind. I don't know Russian well enough for that.What about the cardinal directions then?
thx for the help, and the kind words.Ok then. Here are all the fixed districts names.
Odintsovsky Severny: an area directly north-west-west of Moscow
Odintsovsky Yuzhny: an area directly west of Moscow
Moscow Tsentralnaya: the Central okrug
Moscow Severo-Zapadnaya: NW okrug
Moscow Severnaya: N okrug
Moscow Severo-Vostochnaya: NE okrug
Moscow Yugo-Vostochnaya: SE okrug
I don't really know what Bolshe Yuga was supposed to be. It translates as "Moscow is bigger than the South". I'll just put "Moscow further south" instead, and replace Moscow southern with "Moscow closer south" for consistency.
Moscow Blizhny Yug: northern parts of S okrug
Moscow Zapadnaya: W okrug
Moscow Dalny Jug: southern parts of S okrug
Moscow Yugo-Zapadnaya: SW okrug, plus the rest of the city
Sankt-Petersburg Yuzhny: Pushkinsky, Kolpinsky, Nevsky
Sankt-Petersburg Zapadny: Petrodvortsovy, Krasnoselsky, Moskovsky
Sankt-Petersburg Tsentralny: Kirovsky, Admiralteysky, Vasileostrovsky
Sankt-Petersburg Severny: Kurortny, Primorsky, Petrogradsky, Tsentralny
Sankt-Petersburg Vostochny: the rest of Saint Petersburg
Ural Yuzhny: the rest of Orenburg oblast
Kazan Severnaya: northern Kazan; lots of rural territory in northern Tatarstan
Kazan Yuzhnaya: southern Kazan; lots of rural territory in southern Tatarstan
Yekaterinburg Severny: northern part of Yekaterinburg, some rural territory nearby
Yekaterinburg Yuzhny: southern part of Yekaterinburg, some rural territory nearby
Chelyabinsk Severny: northern part of Chelyabinsk, some rural territory nearby
Chelyabinsk Yuzhny: southern part of Chelyabinsk, some rural territory nearby
Novosibirisk Severny: northern part of Novosibirisk, some rural territory nearby
Novosibirisk Yuzhny: southern part of Novosibirisk, some rural territory nearby
The problem with Russian adjective endings is that they depend on the noun's gender/number (every noun has a gender in Russian). -ny is masculine, -naya is feminine, -noye is neuter, -nye is plural. Most cities are considered masculine, but there are exceptions, like Moscow, Ryazan, Kazan, Astrakhan, Perm, Tver and any city ending with -a (all feminine), Naberezhnye Chelny (plural, Chelny = canoes). If the city ends with -sk, it's 100% masculine.
Btw, awesome project. Keep up the good work.
