The ultimate Atlantean Travel Guide.
Will the Hotels and Restaurants appear here as well?
:-)
Nice info.

lol Possibly, I will be adding info in the future. I also have to determine the exact size of Atlantis, Lyra and the other small Atlantean islands, which won't be easy.

Are you sure that Granada is a dependency? or am I thinking about somewhere else? Granada in Spain.

What is the population density like? I imagine that people are very bunched together due to high mountain ranges and a large arable plain. I assume that it is arable and not forested. For Climate aren't we looking at Sahara like conditions in the interior and equatorial rainforest for elsewhere? This may change with Atlantis being in the Atlantic. You don't get cold winters on the equator, unless you are up a 6000m mountain, the temperature and conditions stay more or less the same.

The river valleys in the South East should be good for wine-making.

....Not sure Gavin you said Gra nada I said Gre nada. As for population density thats another more difficult set of Figures to dig up.

Atlantis wil be completely fictional and I don't have any 1923 figures for the others so they are slightly less than half of present day figures. Given the fact that Atlantis has control over them in the SIM fudging seems ok.

The size of Atlantis? Guess it would be guesswork. I've been looking at Japan's area. Japan is about 377,000 square kilometers... but that is modern day Japan. How much the Kurils, Sakhalin and all those small pacific islands are... I have no idea. That is guesswork (probably about 430,000 sq.km.).
I would guess Atlantis itself together with all the small islands around it to be about the size of Libya, which is about 1,760,000 square kilometers. But that is a guess.

So that would give us almost 32 people per square kilometer.

More the size of Greenland, according to Plato, Atlantis was larger than Libya and Asia combined (asia being Turkey and Syria)

I like it. I need to find the one I did for India and update it...

Actually, I was comparing Atlantis on the map to other nations. The main island and the various islands around it, which you made using coastlines from a dozen locations from all over the world, and on the map it seems to be about the size of Libya (perhaps slightly larger but not that much).

You seem to be right walter, it is more the size of Libya, I'll make the changes in another update.

Nice to see you like my post rocky, you seem to have bested me with your addition to yours! I still have to work out a history starting around the late 1700's slightly later than the Spanish/Atlantian wars.

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, Wes. I'll certainly look forward to seeing your history when you get it done.

Gotta go add some comments to my own post...
