    I believe that we have enough people participating in the regional RP and nations placed on the regional map to begin the labeling of water bodies. Below is an image of the oceans using elevation as the dividing lines between the oceans which means that the oceans are divided by ocean ridges and island chains. Each ocean is roughly colored and labeled with a letter. Please post suggestions of ocean names for each of the letters before the coming weekend. Polls will open on the ocean names beginning on the weekend.

    As for the smaller bodies of water such as bays, channels and and lakes which as unlabeled on this map, I will be taking label names for these as well; however, these names will not be voted on. It would not make sense for the community to have a say in labeling the bay which Luthatania encompasses. Therefore, nations which have the most cost line of the smaller bodies will have priority in naming the water. If there is no clear majority owner of the cost line, then I expect the nations around the water to come to a compromise on the naming of the water.

    The voting is now operational until 9/8/2014 at 12PM CST.

  11. I really hope Ormenian Ocean is voted in... It was a historical civilization in The United Oman
