I made a world map for my upcoming short story

I created a visual reference of the geographic locations that will be featured/referenced in my upcoming short story "State of Seduction." I like to use worldbuilding to create an immersive, dreamlike quality to my stories 😊 There are a few blobs and squiggles, but overall I'm pleased with how the colours came out 😎

That's cool. Care to share what tools you used? I might have a use for them someday. Or did you just create it yourself in something like Illustrator?

I'll be interested in the back story of how these states are created. West Brit is an insult in Ireland so I'm intrigued how west Britain comes about 😘

I was thinking the same thing but not being Irish, I held my tongue hoping someone more knowledgeable would confirm my suspicion.

Glad you like it! I just used Affinity Designer 2 (Affinity is now free btw) and my small, delicate hands 😊 Don't think you'll have any use for the latter someday though 🤣

Thank you for your interest! While somewhat similar, this is a very alternate world to ours... and occupies more of a dream space than hard realism. The map is just a reflection of the fiction's geopolitics and definitely not intended as an insult to the beautiful people of Ireland ❤️

So no different than putting Canada as the 51st state of the USA.. fair enough.

Indeed... In that case, we could also be called the "Bigger America" 😉 Not that the US isn't already a generous size.
