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.
Geographical Areas
Central features
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.

+,- quadrant
Lyrean Sea
The Lyrean Sea is a body of water that borders Letos, Griffin and its vassal states Amboise and Phoenix, Moloka, Pavia, Mery, Lambat, and Judea. It contains Wyvern Bay, which borders Phoenix, Griffin, and Pavia.
Fareastern Ocean
The Fareastern Ocean is a body of water that borders Bergberg. It is connected to its southwest by the Lyrean Sea.
Stony Sea
The Stony Sea is a body of water that borders Lambat and The Collective.

+,+ quadrant
Medi Sea
The Medi Sea is a body of water that borders Lusitania, Ila'Kyavul, Aurellia, Cortesia Del Mar, Danzilonia, Wolken, Gensoyko, and Truidencia. Its name is derived from its predecessor on CivClassic.
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.
