    Now another example,

    it´s an island, nearly as big as Great Britain, with some parallels in history, too. The island has quite a good standard for the time of the world and the inhabitants are from 80% "celtic" equivalents and 20 % of "germanic" equivalents. The large eastern panhandle protected the island against southern aggressors of a nation similar to the roman empire in the past, which could´t manage to invade the island. but which took some of the island´s former possessions on the continent. So far for the history.

    Next things for the continent will be the climatic surroundings and the basics in clima zones in order to create a realistic continent...

    To look at the whole planet, I start with the climate. First the initial clima-zones with low grade of climatic detailization an without looking at major winds and sea-currents at the moment. The large eastern continent is not yet a finished version but for the moment it´ll do. The planet in fact has a certain imbalance on landmasses, the southern hemisphere wasn´t covered with much land, while the northern has some land.
