Sure thing. :)

I want to use one of the islands as a basis for a roleplaying project I'm working on, which is more just a world-building exercise while I'm in between projects. I plan to make a larger map of said island, and maybe run a roleplay of it here.

Using the above image and math i was able to come up with rough estimates of the area in square miles of each ocean.

total image 18,000,000 pixels
world 14,008,000 pixels = 197,000,000 sq mi
total land 4,910,000 pixels = 69,035,000 sq mi
Ezakonic Ocean 503,000 pixels = 7,012,000 sq mi
Lautian Ocean 2,298,000 pixels = 32,310,000 sq mi
Aigan Ocean 2,422,000 pixels = 34,053,000 sq mi
Tavaric Ocean 488,000 pixels = 6,861,000 sq mi
Hataric Mediterranean 88,470 pixels = 1,243,888 sq mi
Blood Sea 2626 pixels = 36,922 sq mi
Aqta Sea 9,553 pixels = 134,315 sq mi
Tavaric Ocean + previous seas = 588,000 pixels = 8,267,000 sq mi
Ranomic Ocean 1,744,000 pixels = 25,521,000 sq mi
Laharqan Ocean 566,000 pixels = 7,958,000 sq mi
Southern Ocean 929,000 pixels = 13,062,000 sq mi
All other Lakes/Seas 47,460 pixels = 667,288 sq mi


Added up to about 197.8 mill so not to far off the original.

Too many oceans in my opinion. Remember, earth has only four. Green, Orange, Yellow, and Red should be your only oceans. Add Purple to green, and divide the polar areas among the remaining oceans.

That's just like, your opinion, man.

I don't think it matters how many oceans there are. I could count the North and South Atlantic as two separate oceans, and then there'd be five on earth.

I'm pretty sure he had asked our opinions. As for four oceans on Earth, that's factual: Indian, Pacific, Atlantic, and Arctic.

Actually it depends. Its not incorrect to claim that there is only one, the global ocean that covers over 70% of the planet, as they are all linked and can be seen as one body of water. Historically we say that there are 4 oceans but now many countries, including the USA, agree that there are 5 oceans on Earth: Pacific, Atlantic, Indian, Southern and Arctic (in order of size). Everyone forgets the poor old Southern one, although it's the newest, mainly because it hasn't been ratified by all nations yet. It was proposed and almost universally agreed in 2000 by the International Hydrographic Organisation. The main sticking point behind accepting it universally is over where it actually starts.

Isn't the idea of where it starts the fundamental reason why the Southern Ocean is so frequently not counted to begin with?
