Lothringen, Southern Superpower

[OberstAmiruddin]

Since the Republic of Rossiya was an utter failure, I decided to redo everything with a new life and now she is called the United Federal States of Lothringen. She will be redesigned and restructured.

If you see a resemblance to something from the map, I congratulate your keen eye.

Looking at your map, with 345 million to feed you probably need a lot more land in the 0-1000m region and less of the mountainous regions.

345 millions it's more then US have...

IMO start small and build up !

And 7000+ mountains on small islands will have problems.....

Hi OberstAmiruddin,

Looking good so far, perhaps leave the detail on the story a little vague at the start and concentrate on the drawings? I know that NSWE, while not on a pause, is waiting while I fill in a few drawings that have resulted from discussions with a couple of people (discussions that wouldn't have started without the initial drawings) - as a process, that seems to be working fairly well for me, perhaps it could work for you too?

Regards,
Adam

Seconded this is shipbucket and if you draw interesting (and even just slightly plausible) ships any back story will be accepted.

The Lothringen islands are not small, not even close.
The Archipelago are about the size of Europe. Here is a map

So... Yeah, The Kerguelen Plateau doesn't look like that at all (which is slap bang where you've placed your landmass). Why not just go with the actual submerged continent that's already there?

Well, I didn't know it was there or the fact it existed so I decided to create a new landmass

[odysseus1980]

It was called Lemuria and it was in Indian Ocean, lost 30,000 years ago.

And a mythology credited to Tamil of Sri Lanka:

This is a map to take ideas. Personally i would cut the connections with Madagascar, Australia and Sri Lanka (due to fictional earthquakes) and add something to south.
