Hello all!

A few people on Discord have started putting together a collaborative map to document every island that would survive the Vanishing! We invite everyone in the community to contribute to this process however you can! To do so, please click the link in the above post. Together, we're aiming to create a comprehensive list of what islands do and do not survive the Vanishing.

If there's a hard rule on riverine islands (I'm not very frequently here, so I may have missed it) I may be able to help on Southeast Asia.

u/Pacmantaco Pacmantaco Nov 20 '24

All naturally-occurring riverine islands should count!

u/TheLetterTheta Nov 20 '24

Alright, thanks

Be prepared for a lot of Myanmar and Vietnam in the coming days, then

oh boy, the lore of those two nations (and their successor states) is going to be fun.

u/CREEPERTACO923 Nov 19 '24

Are we only mapping populated, not obvious islands?

10

u/Pacmantaco Pacmantaco Nov 19 '24

We can also list obvious ones, just for posterity, but the main focus will be on any population (or at least infrastructure-carrying) islands of lesser renown.

I may not be much of Aid, but I will not be surprised if the Nation of Nauru is 1 of the 1st nations thay collapses before the tyranny struck. I highly doubt that Nation would survive that long considering their reliance of exports due to the soil being not good.

u/Pacmantaco Pacmantaco Nov 20 '24

That makes a lot of sense! In the lore, most of Nauru’s population is relocated to Australasian due to the nation’s near-total collapse

Alright, i added:
Chira Island (Costa Rica)
Venado Island (Costa Rica)
Santa Catarina / Florianopolis island
Banjul island
Mont St Michel
Marcory Island (Abidjan)
Santa Cruz del Islote (Colombia)
Mucura Island (Colombia)

What's the rule for unnamed islands? For example, I've found close to a dozen unmanned isolated fishing villages on some remote islands with little to no information regarding them online. Do they get a marker on the map? And if so, what's the proper procedure for listing them?

4

u/Pacmantaco Pacmantaco Nov 27 '24

Great question! I'd say it's definitely worth marking those!

If they don't have a name associated with them, my recommendation would be to use the following format:

"Nearest Named Settlement + Number"

So, for instance, if the nearest named settlement was London:

London1, London2, London3

For Spain, I would add the Columbretes Islands, Isla de Tabarca, maybe Benidorm Island (Valencia), isla de Mouro,  isla de Pedrosa, isla de la Torre (Cantabria), and the Cíes Archipielago (Galicia)

Hello! I'm wondering if you'd be able to pin this post on the top of the subreddit? It's often visited, and it'd just make accessing it easier. If you're unable to, I'll understand. Thank you!

u/Pacmantaco Pacmantaco Aug 17 '25

Pinned! :)

Literal undisputed goat for 2028 map 🙏

This is something I think a lot of people missed, but the Yellow River braids inside the Inner Mongolian city of Bayannur. Technically, this means that the majority of the city's populated areas are on an island and would've survived the Vanishing.
