The world of [[CivMC]] is divided into four quadrants, as well as six major continental landmasses. There are also a number of named seas and regions.

==
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:
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 divided between [[Estalia]], and CivMarket.
Line 35:
===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.
===Stercus===
Stercus 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 nations of [[Kallos]] and [[Columbia]], as well as a few exclaves of [[Butternut]]. 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===
Line 58 ⟶ 61:
{{main|Deluvia}}The Continent of Deluvia takes up the southern -,+. Along with Norland, it is one of the most sparsely populated of the world's six major landmasses. It houses nations such as [[Imperial Federation]], [[Otonabee]], [[Hyperborean Confederation|The Hyperborean Confederation]]. Its name was decided upon by the heads of states of the nations in the Southwest Forum discord.
== Bodies of Water
===Northlandic Ocean ===
Line 66 ⟶ 69:
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 [[Thaulos]], [[Griffin]], [[Amboise]] a vassal state of Cascadia, [[Moloka]], [[Pavia]], [[Mery]], [[Lambat (CivMC)|Lambat]], and [[Letos]].
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]], [[Cortesia Del Mar (CivMC)|Cortesia Del Mar]], [[CivMarket]], [[Estalia|Estalia's]] [[El Caro (CivMC)|El Caro]], [[Mount Augusta (CivMC)|Mount Augusta]], [[JMQN Island]], [[Zatoka]], and [[Iria (CivMC)|Iria]].
===
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]], [[Bergburg]], [[New Jersey (CivMC)|New Jersey]], [[Dhakhala]], [[Griffin|Griffin's]] vassal [[Amboise]], [[Thaulos]], [[Letos]] and [[Lilliput]]. It is connected to the Middle Ocean via the southwest by the Lyrean Sea.
===
The Medi Sea is a body of water between the Eastern Continent and Alenarith. It borders [[Lusitania (CivMC)|Lusitania]], [[Ila'Kyavul]],, [[Cortesia Del Mar (CivMC)|Cortesia Del Mar]], [[Free Danzilonan Republic|Danzilona]], the [[Arsenio Pact]] member state [[Wolken (CivMC)|Wolken]], [[Gensokyo (CivMC)|Gensoyko]], and [[Holy Truidencian Empire|Truidencia]]. Its name is derived from its [[Geographical Regions (CivClassic 2.0)#Medi Sea|predecessor on CivClassic]].
Line 85 ⟶ 88:
Most if not all nations that border the Medi Sea are members of the [[Forum of the Medi 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 [[United Tribes of the Southern Sea]], [[境界の西部共和国|the Western Boundary ( 境界の西部共和国 )]], [[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.
===
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.
===
The Meridiem Sea is a body of water located between [[Deluvia]] and [[Alenarith]]. It borders [[Hyperborean Confederation|the Hyperborean Confederation]], the [[Imperial Federation]], [[Pridelands]], and [[Venne (CivMC)|Venne]]. All members bordering the sea are members of the [[Meridiem Compact]], of which the sea is named after.
