>>9527068I know this is a departure from the rest of the thread, but I took the landforms, guessed at continental drift, placed some mountains and rivers, deserts and forests etc, and then drew likely political boundaries based on these natural barriers and how difficult some land would be to administer e.g. nobody cares about tundra or desert so they are easy to hold onto. I also added a giant lake in the northern continent and several civilizations around it that would be at war with eachother frequently, and there is a giant waterfall at the exit of the lake that is controled by the north-shore faction, who use their island peninsula to exert control over most of the resources of the lake to be able to extend power all the way to the central sea. I used the 4 color map theorem to color the map, generally if an island is the same color as something nearby it should be the same country, either controlled by that country or controlling that country. E.G. in the west on the top of the hammerhead the coastal civilization on the northern coast controls the tiny islands west of them, but in the east the island archipelago has conquered the peninsula on the southern continent away from the over-stretched eastern empire of the southern continent.
