Neat. I'm keeping my jungles anyway though :p

is there a scale we should all stick to? it would be weird if the scale changes from user-to-user! if this was already mentioned, sorry!

There's a scale on page 2 that is accurate to all of the maps I posted on page 1

thanks, that's the last question for now :p) I swear!

Thanks for making all of these J.Edward. It's nice to know where I am on the map globally.

Seconded! Now I know my nation's climate is...much like where I live now.

Updating that map
Maybe people can think about and talk about some names for the oceans and seas and other water features near them.
I'd like to add some of those names to the big map at some point.
We've got a lot of interesting discussions going about the lands and cultures.
I'm loving the ideas people are putting out.

And here's that scale again, in case people missed it.

Il Mareus Kase... that's a lovely jibberish name (and one only a northerner could come up with i guess ) ! When i look at the whole thing again, i think it would be great if there would be some more participants, and thereby more islands in the west. Could be called "Sea of the small fishes" or "Mareus della klitzekleine Pesco" or something along these lines^^

I laid out lands in the west but didn't show them since we have all the lands filled right now.
Those land masses are bigger than islands though, as I wanted any newcomers to have a decent country to map.
But if we don't have anyone else ask to join then I'll do up some proper islands for that area.

Il Mareus Kase - half gibberish
Mare - sea this is Latin for sea, Mer - french for sea, Mareus - nice proximity to real word
Kase - cheese [or close to it] caseus - latin, queso - spanish, caise - scots-gaelic, kase - german [as you know ]
Il... well, just a twist on el, le, la, etc...

Munnen is the Mouth in swedish, for Lingon and Saer - just a mashup of sea and mare

I try to avoid too much straight english if the setting seems to be non-english

I thought it was derived from languages, "meer" is lake in Dutch and it's sort of similar, and "Kaas" is cheese.

Yeah, more of a "gibberish" composition, not totally made up ofc. But it's a fun idea for a creolic "lingua franca" of the whole continent, having bits and pieces of all the languages mashed up.

For the islands in the west, i just thought about this iconic picture here
You've already done so much for this awesome project John (thank you so much, really enjoying it!), so it was just a not too serious idea.
