Geo of Europa

[Orioni]

Hi there. I have been playing with this idea in my head for a while and I was wondering if anyone shared these thoughts. It concerns our region's map. The bodies of water for example don't carry a name. I would like everyone to come up with at least some ideas and then we could have a poll to see which ones are best.

 

What do we need to name?

 

~~~NORTH~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Northern sea:

• Sea of Kingdoms
• Sea of Kings
• Kings Sea
• Tethys Sea

Strait at the top of the map:

• Borean Strait

Northeastern sea, above Sevrun:

• Sevrenian Sea

Sea in the south of Jaihu:

• Jaihu Sea

~~~EAST~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sea around Meda:

• Sea of the Dragon/Dragon's Sea (see map)

Bay west of The Europa Empire:

• Centridge Bay

Bay at the east end of the southern sea, above Byzantium Nova:

• Romaion Bay

bay at the southeastern corner of the map:

• Purple Sea
• Purple Bay

~~~SOUTH~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Southern sea:

Strait that closes southern sea:

• Punta Ballena Strait

Strait between Vanarambaion and Phil IV-Orioni:

• The Channel
• The Narrow Strait

Channel between Argenland and Rosario's Island (ancient St. Mary's Island):

• Libertador Channel

Sea in the South of Argenland/Orioni/Listen2me:

• Mediterranian
• Miniterranian

Sea east to Selene2u:

• Selenian sea

Bay between San Ba and Paranoid schizos:

• Paraian Bay

~~~WEST~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sea to the east of Balitrow-woud (old 'Stoned Smurfs'-lot):

• Stoners Sea
• Stoney Seas
• Sea of Smurfs
• Smurfs Sea

All midwestern islands, from MMRTA-island east to old smurfs area west:

• Smurfean Isles

...

 

 

If you have any more ideas for the names, post them bellow and they will be added as fast as possible.

IF you suggest a name, be sure to mention what it's for.

[Tamurin]

Strait between Vanarambaion and Phil IV-Orioni:

 

"The Channel"

 

A little "conservative", but works for France and UK.

 

 

A problem is, that most oceans, lakes etc. on our earth are named after a region or a country close to it, like the "indian ocean", the "japanese sea" or they have a very simple name according to their position like "polar sea", "northern sea".

 

Since we don't have that kind of history, I guess we have a little problem (or someone who is extraordinary in creating names ?).

[Byzantium Nova]

If you let me loose I can name all geographical objects in the map no problem.

 

[Orioni]

If you let me loose I can name all geographical objects in the map no problem.

I know you can my friend but it might be useful to see what these combined creative minds can come up with.

[Byzantium Nova]

Don?t scare me.

 

OK. I?ll make some suggestions for all major GEOobjects in the map when I have time though.

[Argenland]

Channel between Argenland and Rosario's Island (ancient St. Mary's Island):

Libertador Channel

 

Sea in the South of Argenland/Orioni/Listen2me:

Mediterranium Sea? May be this is between lands...

[Phil VII]

Strait between Vanarambaion and Phil IV-Orioni:

 

"The Channel"

 

A little "conservative", but works for France and UK. 

 

actully its called 'The English Channel', it is in uk anyway, i think it is in france too

 

 

[Vanarambaion]

We could name the places after nations that have passed on. Pot and whoever was in possession of the eastern part of my island before I took it over, for instance.

Something like Stoned Islands or Stoney Seas?

[Meteorola]

The Northern Sea could be The Sea of Kingdoms.

 

I also like naming them after nations that have moved on.... (ie, in the real world we have the Persian Gulf, named for the Persian Empire...) it will make for more creative names.

[Argenland]

Sea in the South of Argenland/Orioni/Listen2me:

- Mediterranium Sea? May be this is between lands...

 

This is the Southern Sea

 

 

Sea between Selene2u and plot 102/46:

Helenic Sea

 

Sea that have the Meda Island:

Meda Sea

 

Strait that closes southern sea:

Punta Ballena Strait (this work with the Gibraltar Strait )

 

Sea in the south of Jaihu:

Jaihu Sea

[Europa]

Some helpfull words:

Islands, Isle, Archipelago

Ocean, Sea, Bay, Gulf, Channel, Strait,

Peninsula,

Lake, River,

Desert, Plains

Mountains,..

 

 

Sometimes seas or rivers are also called after colors (Black See, Red See, Yellow River,..). Just a though, maybe we could use something similar. An example: Blue Sea (I know, it's not very original)

 

Sometimes North/South/East/West are used to refer to certain seas (eg South Pacific, North Sea,...). Some examples: Nordersea, S?dsee,..

 

Oh, and I would like to call that bay west of my nation Centridge Bay, if that's OK.

[Phil VII]

I like the idea of naming areas after nations that have moved on, i still think ~pot~ should be remembered somehow. prehaps the sea below Pot's old island caould be the 'Stoners Sea',or 'Sea of Smurfs' for example.

 

 

[Chairman Joaquin]

the two islands we have annexed should be called the Cenepa isles

<REACTIVATING>

Can we get some more ideas together before tomorrow? Otherwise we'll have to wait untill next year before these things get on the map.

Byzantium Nova: I thought you said you had some ideas.

[Byzantium Nova]

I said that I can create names. That is true but I need some time to think them.(My time has been recently distributed in other things)

 

 

I am leaving to a christmas-vacation friday so I can unleash my creativity then and present my ideas in January.

 

Sorry but this must wait until January 9th or something like that.

[Orioni]

No problemo. Enjoy your vacation and I hope that you will send us a card.

[Byzantium Nova]

Heh. Sort of electronic card maybe. In Finnish of course.

[Byzantium Nova]

Since my vacation has been moved for a day I decided to look in this.

 

Bay of Romaion (the bay at the east end of the southern sea. (Above Byzantine Empire)).

Selenian sea (Sea east to Selene2u)

Purple Sea (the bay at the southeastern corner of the map)

Tethys sea (Northern sea as whole. From the western edge of map to the eastern edge.)

Smurfean Isles (Collective name for all islands in the midwestern section of the map. From MMRTA island east to old smurfs area west)

Borean Strait(Strait at the top of the map)

Sevrenian Sea(Northeastern sea, above Sevrun)

Paraian Bay (the Bay between San Ba and Paranoid schizos)

 

I?ll whip up more after vacation.

[Orioni]

Updated list in first post + Made some more suggestions, for example: Miniterranean.

[Phil VII]

right, ive decided to get on and name some of these places on the map.

 

i know its not my place as either cartographer, or even thread starter, but i got tired of saying ''that sea above country xxxx'' in RP's, so i decided to make the map. all ive done is added the names of the seas to the standatd map made by BZ, with the places with several names suggested, i have had an attack of ''biggus egonuss'' and made the decision myself

 

 

hope people like it, some places i have changed myself, i didnt like the 'miniterainian' sugestion, i thought it was too obvious, so i changes it to the far less obvious 'terrainian sea'

[Orioni]

Hehe, nice personal touches. Me likes, and I have only one remark, but all tell you that one later.

[Mongol-Swedes]

I got a suggestion for that body of water that my nation more or less surrounds (pending the official recognition of Mongol-Swede expansion into plot 50): The Bothnian Marine Wildlife Preserve, or something shorter, whatever.

 

ModEdit: Moved the rest to the requests thread.

[Byzantium Nova]

Next update will be about now.

[Byzantium Nova]

I?ll add the names to the map or make a completely new map if the map gets too crowded. This will happen when the final form of all names are decided and agreed.
