== Landmasses==

===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]].

'''Central Archipelago'''

The Central Archipelago is made up of the Estalia mushroom island of El Caro, and the cluster of jungle islands divided between [[Communion of Kū|Ku]], [[Estalia]], and CivMarket.

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.

===Western Continent===

The Western Contient, which is as of yet unnamed, is the world's largest continent, stretching across the -,- and -,+ and taking up much of the Western Semicircle. It is estimated to be the world's most populous continent, and owing to it's huge size is highly diverse in biomes.

===Northwestern Continent===

The Northwestern Continent - as of yet unnamed - is located in the northern -,-. Along with the Northwestern Continent, it is one of the most sparsely populated of the world's six major landmasses. It is dominated by cold, frosty biomes.[[File:Impendia claims 6 17 22.png|thumb|200px|Map of Impendia claims as of June 17 2022 (credit [[Thejmqn]])]]

It is home to [[Mount Augusta]], [[Zatoka]], [[BurkinTown]], [[Doom City]], [[Cortesia Del Mar]], [[Crystalis]], [[EM3]], [[Aldenfult]], [[Deriykosa]], [[Danzilona]], [[Wolken]], [[Llamma Land]], [[Dalgon]], [[Nara]], [[SymStead]], [[ParadICE]], [[Nova Venne]], [[Gensokyo]], and [[Truidencia]], as well as outlying claims from [[Estalia]], [[Aurellia]], and the [[Leibniz Confederation]].

It comprises 16% of CivMC's total landmass, and contains 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]], and [[Zatoka]], on June 17 2022.
