A Map of Europe
Ladies and Gentlemen, may I kindly and humbly present to you a map I have been working on today. It is my own interpretation of what is a modified-Europe-to-be. I do not have the 'ambition' to propose another map but since every one is so busy I could not contain my desire to design one. So again basically I would like to emphasise this is 'a map', not 'the map' and is merely something I just wanted to work on.
I have tried to take all previous suggestions and remarks into consideration and as you may notice it is simply a renewed drawing of our current map, but it is rather 'smaller'. It is smaller in two ways; first it is literally scaled down some pixels (3000x1800 px, our current 5000 px), but secondly and most importantly proximity! Proximity in a sense that the oceans and waterways have become smaller so yes there's less sea and more land to it, but the landmasses on this map are very insular. The multitude of isles and islands will/could form the stepping stones which ought to bring all our nations closer to one another. In addition, as implemented into Coro's and Kyle's exempla too, I have provided some smaller inland seas and large lakes which again can form natural borders and highways at the same time. Also, the map has an arctic and antarctic region and has meridians and tropics to indicate some broad climate zones.
Concerning names and landmasses then as you can see the greater outlines are preserved, with even some seas and natural shapes partly being integrated. Major changes on the other hand are for instance the sizing down of Himyar and the enlargement of our 'Eurodisney' which I have named Erofa (due to lack of inspiration of course..). This, to actually meet with our current needs (concerning space and role-play). Our 'Europa' can thus contain some more nations if necessary and our renewed Himyar region ought be more attractive in terms of colonisation and exploration. Himyar too contains much more islands now - big and small - but a grand mainland is kept, such as with Toyou. For convenience I have named some sub-regions or transitional areas such as 'Near- and Far-Toyou' to differentiate between the Middle-East and the Orient; also an 'Insular Himyar' has been named, which perhaps together with the 'Near-Toyou' region could form the more Middle-Eastern regions, surrounding the Inner (Mediterranean) Sea. ; ) The Occident basically remains much the same, but as stated before is moved closer to both the Himyar and Erofa continents.
Again, I just wanted to make the map, I do not expect anything of it but I must be honest I do hope you all just give it quick peek please and offer me some feedback. Perhaps it could be useful for the future. =)
