    A bit of showing off for the export to svg feature:

    I generated a bunch of place names (I didn't bother to check for duplicates, I guess that's an upcoming feature in a later release) and exported to svg.

    The export makes each word a text object on a slightly curved path in the svg file.

    Using Inkscape, I changed the font size and font (Poor Richard), and used Jitter Nodes on the paths.

    Then, I used the align and distribute tools to scatter the names randomly and removed overlaps.

    Finally, I hand-drew an island shape around the names and fractalized the path before filling it with a gradient.

    I had to adjust the placement of a few names after the fractalize, but other than that, drawing the island path was my only manual task.

    Total work: 10 minutes. And I don't know much about Inkscape.
