[QUOTE="fusangite, post: 1931564, member: 7240"] A few related thoughts that pop into my head: 1. During the negotiation of the treaty that created Saudi Arabia, Ibn Saud demanded that all the boundaries be expressed in two units of measurement: fast camels and slow camels. This is one of the many reasons that some of Saudi Arabia's borders remain unclear to this day. 2. In a campaign I ran in the late 1990s I went a step further than you and had a purely oral tradition empire that had a central map room which was the location of a continuous poem describing the terrain of the empire. New scouts were always showing up and adding or changing verses to the song that had to be constantly sung around the clock to describe the empire. 3.
