What about calling my continent (Varkour, Annexea, Omagnum, Feniexia & Tagirstan) Arveo?

That was decided as "Easteros", I believe. Mercantilist States used it as a name, so I think it's pretty official.

I've been using 'Easteros' pretty extensively (used it in multiple RP's: see Llanydern trade conference, Bringing Dominion to Easteros, Easteros Merchant Co./Factbook), similarly, I used O and O-subcontinent (see Ginto Dispute/Downfall of king/the Supremo, Free Press, Factbook).

My islands are the Tallent Archipelago. Never had a name for Vark's or Myroria/Eluvatar peninsula (hadn't needed to RP there yet). Similarly, the sea northeast of my islands is North Merchant Sea and the sea southwest is the South Merchant Sea.

Maybe we should dust off the old RP council and do one last vote?

I see no real reason, because there can be no compulsion for RPers to use the same names. There might even be comical misunderstandings because of it, which is natural when varying cultures meet.

While that is a good point, in the real world today we have agreed upon names for major bodies of water, continents, archipelagos. And, if we're going to do this world war, we better have some agreed upon names so we all know what we're talking about.

I agree that OOC we should have consensus, but a few countries IC don't even measure time in the same system. :-P

A time system would be nice too. Considering every thing here isn't really synchronized...

For now, I'll follow the conventions on the names for the continents. If they change, though...  >:(

Another change...

The Feniexian Isles are just called Hiryuu (flying dragon).
Other nations might say something other, but if anyone says to a Feniexian the Feniexian Continent is not named Hiryuu, is it considered as strong offend against the whole nation.

btw, I somewhy dislike Arveo...not because it sounds bad....it´s just because I know a very dumbass flamer who´s name is similar sounding....

i think we should urge to create a new map for the oceans and all that. It's vital having areas where the national territorial waters can be involved, there can be other issues to discuss, like people invading territorial waters. Also trade roots should be discussed. I'll have huge ocean trade routes with 'northen taijitu'.
