re that bigass post i just rbed: Every Time i add a new country to the planet tachni is on, i'm like, "god dammit. someday i'm gonna have to make geographic sense of all this." just keeping a sort of amorphous mental blob of continents and islands isn't gonna help....

from the start, my Biggest priority with the worldbuilding has been to create a planet the size of earth, which feels like it's populated by just as many countries & just as many thousands of languages and cultures & just as many millenniums of history. even if i do not know the intricacies of every single culture.

this is because i am sick to Death of fantasy worlds that are like "this land mass is the only place that sentient life exists. it's the size of the UK and everything else is water :)" or "there are five cultures. three are europe, one is asia, and one is africa. btw if you do math about the maps the entire landmass is the size of the UK :)"

....BUT.

whenever i sit down. to plot out an entire planet's landmasses. and cities. and basic history. and agriculture.

i'm like.

.....wow.

god damn.

i understand the appeal of making this place the size of the UK.
