I have a favor to ask of those of you in the Seattle area, if I ever get on and seem really agressive or depressed, I need you to get my address from Ron and send help to my house.

*Reon
And yes... Though greater Seattle area wintreathians appear to include me, you, Pengu, and! For one week only! Evelyn. So, you know...

Also how does the subject of your rape just like... Casually come up... That really doesn't feel like a car ride conversation...

Mmm, also... Nice avatar, Nox...

So, if people have names for cities or towns, or in fact for the regional territories (Rides), I'm taking suggestions

What sort of geography and culture are we thinking about in terms of the individual territories?  Are they generally homogenous or more unique?

I don't know about city and town names, but I do know that in Skyrim they divided the land into nine separate areas called holds, and tried to give each hold a distinct geography and culture, so the northern and central areas were very harsh and wintry, while the southern areas were more temperate, and each area had its own things going on and stuff.

WINTERFELL!

PENGU IS A VOLUS!!!

I'm following a system I derived from TES, actually; we have around 25 to 30 Rides, which are grouped into the 8 Territories - mainly because if I only had one tier each section would cover huge tracts of land and that's kinda infeasible in the setting, so I just made two :p

E: To be a little clearer about this, Wintreath covers an area of a little less than 10,000,000 miles, so having fewer but larger territories wouldn't really work; the nation is far too diverse to classify in less than ten areas. Thus, the 25-30 Rides divided up into 8 or 9 Territories

10m sq mi seems way out of proportion. Canada is a bit less than 4m sq mi and it's enormous, not to mention most of it is almost uninhabitable. You're talking about a country as big as Canada + Russia combined.

Or twice the size of the dwarf planet Pluto...
Though in all fairness Asia is 17M square miles... And would be far less diverse than our little ridiculous fictional region...

I disagree, Asia is incredibly diverse.

Variele for a city

Out of curiosity, what are we talking about?

Asia is incredibly incredibly diverse, I won't argue that... Buuuut it is bound by like resource availability, culture spreads, and reality problems... Which we are not... So... You know... I'd expect us to be more diverse...
