Geographical Regions (CivMC)

CivMC is split into four quadrants whose names are based on their geographical coordinates.

Some players have also named specific landmasses, seas and regions based on cultural significance to their nations.

Quadrants
Since the map is a circle centered at 0,0 it is convenient to split it in four quadrants:
 * -,- or Northwestern quadrant
 * +,- or Northeastern quadrant
 * -,+ or Southwestern quadrant
 * +,+ or Southeastern quadrant

The + and - signs refer to the sign of the coordinates in each quadrant: for example, the X,Z coordinates -123,4567 would be in the -,+ quadrant.

While this method does not work well for places close to 0,0 or the horizontal/vertical axes, it is easy to understand and has been in use for years.

Semicircles
Similar to the Hemispheres of Earth, Semicircles can be used to refer to two adjacent quadrants combined. For example, the Western Semicircle refers to the -,- and -,+ quadrants.

Middle Ocean
The Middle Ocean is a major body of water stretching approximately along the length of the z-axis meridian. Many nations border it, namely Estalia, which controls 0,0. Merilde Bay and Trelli Bay are both part of this ocean, with the former bordering Pavia and the latter bordering both Pavia and Griffin.

Lyrean Sea
The Lyrean Sea is a body of water that borders Thaulos, Griffin and its vassals Amboise and Phoenix, Moloka, Pavia and its vassal Auldmarche, Mery, Lambat, Judea, and Letos. It contains Wyvern Bay, which borders Phoenix, Griffin, and Pavia.

Many nations bordering the Lyrean Sea are members of the Forum of the Medi Sea.

Fareastern Ocean
The Fareastern Ocean is a body of water that borders the Fempire Union, Bergburg, New Jersey, Dhakhala, Griffin's vassal Amboise, Thaulos, and Letos. It is connected to its southwest by the Lyrean Sea.

Stony Sea
The Stony Sea is a body of water that borders Varathia, Lambat, The Collective, CivMarket, Estalia's El Caro, Mount Augusta, JMQN Island, Zatoka, and Iria.

Medi Sea
The Medi Sea is a body of water that borders Lusitania, Ila'Kyavul, Aurellia, Cortesia Del Mar, Danzilona, the Arsenio Pact member state Wolken, Gensoyko, and Truidencia. Its name is derived from its predecessor on CivClassic.

Most if not all nations that border the Medi Sea are members of the Forum of the Medi Sea.

Despite its name, the Medi Sea is arguably an ocean as it is comparable in size to other oceans and is not enclosed by land at world border.

Lake Biwa
Lake Biwa is an inland lake that borders multiple nations in the SSE continent, including Doom City, Nara, the Arsenio Pact, and Danzilona. It feeds many rivers which stretch through the continent, including the Ebi and Beartooth rivers which border Nara.
