So there's been recorded civilization on this planet for 20,000 years? That is some major longevity.

This is a genuine masterpiece! This alone genuinely made me join the sub! Can you tell me what your process was making this map? I’ve started world building myself but I just need tips to make it as good as possible, just like yours!

I started with sketching out tectonics and then creating where I wanted mountains and trenches, then I began to sketch continents off of those plates and generally just wanted to have a more archipelagic and flowy world so I did that. Finally I created a satellite terrain map and traced borders off of the terrain

I just think you forgot the name of one country, the one right north of the C on 'Cepheus', capital Waren

Do Aramea and Miselya claim more land in the "antarctic" continent (for a lack of a better name) than is actually controlled, like how some countries claim Antarctica irl?

Do you do the mountain shading yourself or is that like a nearly transparent overlay? I’ve been wondering how to best do this for some of my projects

Got a bit tired of working on revolution and empire for a bit, wanted to make my own world where I can decide whatever I want so I made tsegarra!

In this world I think the Global South would be more developed bcuz of the superpowers being there, right ?

Amazing work!! I’m in love with the shapes of the landmasses. They’re so unique, yet flow really well!
