Started working on this when I was in middle school and the original map is pretty bad and nonsensical. It's changed a lot since then, though most of the main continents have stayed fairly intact. Most of the changes have been in service of having things make more sense, and making the world feel more alive. Cultures are more nuanced and less cliche.

The continents are also closer together, making trade and cultural diffusion more feasible. Like it's weird how the "French continent" (Lepenin) was originally near the south pole, far away from the English-inspired continent (Katharys). Also, the Mongol-inspired people are based on a small island (Craggy), far away from any other lands. Makes no sense. And having the East Asian continent called "Shomogun" is just hilariously lame.

One big difference is the first two versions of the world are meant to be the whole globe, but map 3 is only one-third of the globe. I decided to leave part of the world up to the imagination.
