I still remember tons of the stuff I learned in my Highschool Earth Science class, 'cause I use it all the time when I design worldmaps. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />So you're saying that the continent is roughly islandic, similar to, say, australia, but with the northernmost border at around 49 degrees North latitude, right? That's what I'm assuming when I continue. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />Ok, but that's gonna play havoc with your weather systems. You need western barrier mountains to collect moisture for rainfall from your Coriolis (coming from the west) winds. Lands not shielded by mountains along the western side will have little rainfall and vegitation. Lands like:These lands will have very little moisture. The air will flow unimpeded over the land, and will likely have a lot of moisture in the air, but will drop very little of it on the ground. The lands to the north will be sparsely vegitated at best, sandy desert wastes at worst. IMO, no. Your prevailing winds will be Coriolis winds, they'll be coming from the west, not from the North off the sea. There will be a little coming from the North, but not enough to go all the way down to your East/West mountain range.IMO, the plains would be at best like Oklahoma or Arizona, at worst like the Sahara Desert. There will be some interaction between the Coriolis winds and the windw you get off the Northern sea, perhaps enough to create a hospitable north-western coast.For the most part, however, I suggest you take Northern Africa as your guide and modify temperature for the location.</blockquote>
