Since the map is a circle centered at 0,0 it is convenient to split it in four quadrants:
*
*
*
*
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.
Line 22 ⟶ 25:
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.
==
Similar to the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hemispheres_of_Earth Hemispheres of Earth], Semicircles can be used to refer to two adjacent quadrants combined. For example, the Western Semicircle refers to the -,- and -,+ quadrants.

The Central Archipelago is made up of the Estalia mushroom island of El Caro, and the cluster of jungle islands
Due to its position in the Middle Ocean near 0,0, it is the only major land area falling into none of the six continents.

Formed by a collection of resident nations on November 20th, 2022<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/CivMC/comments/yzrjjx/map_of_karydia_new_continent_formed_today/</ref>, [[Karydia]] exists in the far-west of the world and consists largely of jungle environments, as well as some deserts and swamps. Since its formation, Karydia has been considered a haven for newfriend nations, having much of its territory in late 2022 carved out exclusively for their use. Karydia is home to [[Mercutio]], [[Kaowta]], [[Reggio Argeddina|Reggio]], and the [[Icenia (CivMC)|Icenian]] state of [[Icarus (CivMC)|Icarus]].
Norland is located in the northern -,-. Along with Deluvia, it is one of the most sparsely populated of the world's six major landmasses. It is dominated by cold, frosty biomes.▼
===Stercus===
Stercus{{Citation needed|date=May 2023}} is one of the world's smallest continents, located entirely withing the southern -,- adjacent to the eastern shores of the Western Continent and southern Northlandia. Much of the geography is mountainous, with vast forests occupying the coasts of the continent. It is home to the former nations of [[Kallos]] and [[Columbia]]. This continent is notable for having several densely populated cities that have been left abandoned due to past heavy conflicts occurring within the region.
===Northlandia===

It is home to the North Pole, a popular tourist destination which is located within the nation of [[Winterbourne]] who welcome explorers throughout the arctic nation. There is a basic wooden shelter with crafting and cooking facilities as well as an open chest with supplies left for travelers. Many signs are left by explorers to mark their trip to the North Pole.
===Impendia===

{{main|Alenarith}}[[Alenarith]] ''(in the common tongue), Chouwa (in [[Gensokyo]]), Kova (in [[Holy Truidencian Empire|Truidencia]])'' or simply the ''Southeastern Continent'', takes up much of the +,+ and comprises 16% of CivMC's total landmass, with temperate biomes in the north and cold biomes in the south.
[[Alenarith]] was [https://www.reddit.com/r/CivMC/comments/vevamo/civball_map_of_the_newly_named_continent_alenarith/ named by the Southeastern Continent Naming Convention], which included representatives from [[Mount Augusta]], [[Dalgon]], [[Crystalis]], [[Doom City]], [[Aldenfult]], [[Gensokyo]], [[Cortesia Del Mar]], [[Danzilona]], [[Wolken]], [[Nara]], [[Zatoka]], and [[
In the case of Truidencia and Gensokyo however the names ''Chouwa'' and ''Kova'' (the latter of which is subsequently derived from the first) are used as their official names for the continent, each recognizing the other as simply variants of the same name.

Small numbers of dissenters from the SCNC have opted to use the name Nanto for the continent, but it enjoys much less recognition.
===Deluvia===
{{main|Deluvia}}The Continent of Deluvia takes up the southern -,+.
== Bodies of Water
===Northlandic Ocean ===
The Northlandic Ocean is a deep cold ocean and Northern most ocean on the map. It stretches from the [[Moloka]] islands to the farthest North of the map along the East coast of [[Northlandia]] and West coast of [[Impendia]].
===Middle Ocean ===
The Middle Ocean<ref name=":0">https://www.reddit.com/r/CivMC/comments/v77nh8/map_of_the_lyrean_sea_nations/</ref> is a major body of water stretching north-south across the entire map. 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]].
===
[[File:Lyreanseamap.png|thumb|Map of the Lyrean Sea region as of June 13th, 2022 (credit hitobashuru).]]The Lyrean Sea<ref name=":0" /> is an inland body of water and transcontinental region between Impendia and the Eastern Continent. Nations in the Lyrean Sea include [[
Most of the nations on the Lyrean Sea are members of the [[Lyrean Community]].
===
The Stony Sea<ref name=":0" /> is an inlet of the Middle Ocean that borders [[Varathia]], [[Lambat
===
The Fareastern Ocean<ref name=":0" /> is a body of water between Impendia and the Eastern Continent. It borders the [[Fempire Union (CivMC)|Fempire Union
===
The Medi Sea is a body of water between the Eastern Continent and Alenarith. It borders [[Lusitania (CivMC)|Lusitania]], [[Ila'Kyavul]],
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.
Line 80 ⟶ 96:
Most if not all nations that border the Medi Sea are members of the [[Forum of the Medi Sea]].
===
The Karydian Sea is a body of water located between the continent of Karydia and the greater Western Continent. Several nations are located along the shores of this sea, including [[Mercutio]], [[Pacem]], [[the Commonwealth]], and [[Kaowta]].
===Southern Sea===
The Southern Sea is a massive ocean in the western hemisphere that sits north of Deluvia and south of the Western Continent. It stretches from the southwestern world-border to the Leona Sea. The ocean is home to many island nations such as the [[Pride Isles]], [[Grenada]], [[Leibniz Confederation]], as well as a few exclaves and territories from nearby nations.
Like the Medi, the Southern Sea is also arguably an ocean, due to its size and borders.
===Leona Sea===
The Leona Sea sits west of [[Dalgon]] and the Leona Bay, south of the Leibniz Confederation. It connects the Merediem Sea to the Deluvian Ocean.
===Meridiem Sea===
The Meridiem Sea is a body of water located between [[Deluvia]] and [[Alenarith]]. It borders the [[Imperial Federation]] and [[Venne (CivMC)|Venne]]. At one time, all states bordering the sea were members of the [[Meridiem Compact]], from which the sea takes its name.
