I wouldn't be bothered by making pseudo-Nippon the land of the [i]setting[/i] sun, and separating them, but not too much, seems like a good middle ground. Do you mind circling the area you're talking about, though?
Torco, Greece, the Middle East, and north Africa were all in contact with each other, but I get your point.

Also, which way does the planet spin? If it's the same as Earth, Pseudo-Peloponessos isn't going to get very much in the way of rain or rivers probably, due to the huge mountains to its West/Northwest; weather systems bunch up on the western edge of the mountains and dump all their water there, which then creates rivers o...

Derivation ideas (2014-02-05 02:21:31) :
In an early episode of Conlangery they discuss the "[style: font-family: monospace]bignum[/style] words for snow in Inuit/Eskimo languages" myth. While this is glossed over, they [i]do[/i] go on to mention that at least one language in the general region (I forget which) has a verb-producing affix that, applied to a noun, means "to be freezing in one's ~".
So when you're satisfied with all of the purely functional derivations, you may want to consider something uniquely culture-bound; p...

My personal preference is for the pseudo-Mediterranean:
[Image:http://i.imgur.com/smwJPU1.png]
The giant Japan in the far east is also intriguing.
My concern is that players might become too diffuse if we have too many loci. I suggest that we pick only a single locus and make the rest of the world inhabited by hunter-gatherers or not inhabited at all. This is not to say that they shouldn't be worked on, but that they not take up as much attention.
