Hi all! I need a bit of input to check I'm on the right track.

So with this very basic political map of my world.

I've had some easy fun trying to delimitate my oceans and seas, having in mind such process is 100% artificial even in our world, based on political or practical reasons. I got this:

OCEANS (25CT15).jpg OCEANS

SEAS (25CT15).jpg With SEAS

I think I got a pretty logical divide of the oceans, but with the seas (on black lines and numbers) I'm not so sure on some. In some cases I used oceanic current circuits to make some seas (you can check the very polished version of my currents done by Pixie, one of our local experts about geological and climate development), since I figured coastal people would naturally stick them for easier navigation.


Would you agree that the following would easily be considered seas?

1 and 11- do they even need to exist?

12, since naturally (with currents), doesn't have a way back other than by the coast, would you considered it a sea?

23 and 24 - are they just big gulfs?

7 and 8 - would you considered them semi closed seas or gulfs?

4 & 5, 13 & 14 follow current circuits, so I added them even though there isn't much to explore or exploit on the pole.

Should Arint Ilar (an Ocean), be part of Hem Ilar, as a sea instead of being an ocean of its own?


Thanks for stopping by!
