That map's so bad, the JPG killed itself.

On a more serious note I'd put some spotlight on the sultanates of Ternate and Tidore. They would have accomplished so much if they worked together, but they had to keep up their rivalries right until Europeans took over. Being the easternmost Indonesian organized polity, who knows what could...

Poor Sealand. You had so much potential for an undersea Atlantean civilization, yet resigned yourself to being a pirate party palace.

Probably unnecessary, but I feel the need to point out the range of modern potato production isn't a representation of all possible productive potato regions. We do grow other things and such.\ Where did you read that?

Has anyone tried to merge the seasons and months together? An entirely solar calendar that uses the astronomical beginnings and ends of seasons to mark 'months'. That would make four month-seasons, total...

If anyone's qualified it'd be you, dude. Climate is just one piece of the puzzle; the actual physical environment is another. Australia's lushness is only deceptively so -- those rainforests are old-growth that probably took a very long time to get that way. Australia is probably the least...

Buy them a drink first.

Less crew doesn't automatically mean less passengers. And to solve that problem, simply build larger fleets. It was certainly enough to bring families, pigs, dogs, and chickens to the Pacific, and Hawaiians were knowledgeable of Tahiti, knowing how to get there and back. The issue here isn't...

What improvements? They had it pretty good. Voyaging canoes were already faster than Old World ships, required less crew, and sailors had a much more intuitive method of navigation that required less tools. They also colonized most of the eastern 2/3s of the Pacific in general, which is a lot...

Okay, but I'm still celebrating Earth New Year.

Eire? Really? Come on, everyone knows Ireland was an Axis power.

FTFY *EDIT* O no I messed up. The tassel should be red...

*sheds a single American freedom tear*

Or France, perhaps?

Listen, you. You can't just tease us like this. The Hague considers it a forum crime.

@SaveAtlacamani These names seem incredibly impractical. Remember, people would ideally be using them in everyday speech. 'Tuesday' rolls off the tongue much easier than 'Carboniferous'. But the date system itself seems cool.

The wiki has a short list of ancient-POD TLs, but it's woefully incomplete and could probably use some further categorization.

Was about to say, there are at least...three TLs on that subject specifically.

"Papa?" "Yes, son?" "...You went to the Inlands before, right?" "...Yep." "What's it like?" "We don't talk about those things at the dinner table, son." "But why n--" "Eat your peas."
