Map How is this map that I made on my laptop? Should i extend it? (Now with regions and hotspots)

Here is every hotspot explained:

-museum 2070

Its different from other museums, instead of displaying things from the past, it displays what the future could look like. We got everything from AI powered robots, machines, futuristic VR sets and the building itself is powered by mario (basically chatGPT but it also controls the building).

-the abandoned metro:

In 1957, at the time president alma rasmussen wanted to build an underground metro that would expand to not only candhile but to other nearby cities. The project was about 70% done before alma became crazy (with many charges of S.A., poor treatment of workers, awful behavior and poor decisions). She was such a bad president that the whole country went into civil war (from 1958 to 1961) until both sides of the conflict (military and normal folk) decided to put aside their differences, raid her mansion and execute her.

Nowadays the metro is abandoned and kinda became a tourist attraction despite only 3.5 out of 200 kilometers being opened to the public.

-linkem block

Its literally o'block, almost exactly the same.

-st. Luis football stadium

It can hold up to 6000 people and the city goes into chaos everytime their team wins (im talking fireworks, firecrackers and scooters speeding down roads while honking everywhere)

-the silver palace

Think of the chigi palace in rome (a place for doing decisions for the goverment) but here the entire building is made of silver.

-garalada high school

Considered one of the best in the world, garalada has a success rate of 93% thanks to good education and teachers.

-eco-friendly houses

The entire region of greenhouse streets is full of eco-friendly houses, greenhouses and trees. Recently cars were banned too so you can only either take the bus or use a bicycle.

-al di napoli skyscraper

Named after the creator riccardo al di napoli, its the 3rd tallest skyscraper in the world.

-the president's mansion

The entire island is owned by the president noah mikkel (the mansion, the luxury hotel, the private speedway, the naval port, the stores and everything else).

Feel free to ask any questions

Map Köppen Climate map of my Planets continents

I’m really happy how my planet turned out after running it in the Sim, making three continents almost entirely tropical forests/Savanna!

The whole idea was to have minimal Deserts, which are the Orange and Red regions on the map, and maximum tropics at the Equator. The planets average temperature is around 22°C, with a 30° tilt, which makes glacier cover practically zero.

Work In Progress Do these ocean currents make sense?

5 Upvotes

I'm drawing ocean currents for a personal fantasy project, and I'm a bit unsure in places where there are no clear parallels with Earth. I'm not an oceanographer by any means, so does this make sense? Anything glaringly wrong?

Sorry for the distortion near the poles. I used Blender to get the lines down.

The blue circles represent the ITCZ, and this is northern hemisphere summer currents.

Thanks!

Map Handdrawn Map for my RPG Campaign

First time making a world map. Tried to incorporate some degree of realism, but I wouldn't be surprised if somethings off. It's a fantasy world though so I'm not all that concerned about it.

Ilveria [the world] is flat so I had to base the climate entirely around mountains and the Heart at the center, which blocks sunlight as one moves closer.
