You have freedom here. See an are that you think should be named a certain way?

If it's water, and not a bad name, let me know here, preferably with a screenshot or similar illustration, and that label will be applied.

See the map HERE to find areas you might want to name.

Ima only go for something next to my nation (don't want to tread on any toes now do we? :P).

The area marked in red:

Sea of Monwe

Note: Monwe is Harndonian for freezing fog - one of the main weather patterns in Harndon due to the cold air from the north overulling the slightly warmer continental air, causing temperature inversions to be trapped in the mountains and baisins (which is what this stretch of sea effectively is).

Ohhhh me lads!
You should've seen us gannin';
Passing the folks along the road, an' all of them were starin'
An' all the lads and lasses there, all with smiling faces
Gannin' along the Scotswood Rooooooad:
To see the Blaydon Races!

Here are my suggestions (apologies for the poor image quality):

1. Churavala Bay

      With a name derived from the Hirematiyaale word for 'cyclone', Churavala Bay is known for its propensity to be hit by cyclones, tropical storms, and high winds throughout the year. Hirematiaale traders have historically had to have been very careful when traversing the region, clinging to the coastline whenever possible.

2. Strait of Pataya

      Literally meaning 'Strait of Passage', this narrow strait is one of the few areas within Churuvala Bay with waters safe enough for large ships to pass through, making it essential for Hirematiyaale trade with Candor both historically and currently.

3. Gunhong Sea

      Taking its name from the Korean word for 'peace', the Gunhong Sea is a tame body of water that has been important for Candor throughout its history. Despite the high volume of trade, wildlife thrives in its peaceful waters, although recent pollution and overfishing have threatened the balance of its ecosystem.

4. Ngakaya Strait

      From the Hirematiyaale word for 'halving', this strait has historically divided Hirematia into its northern and southern regions and was historically an important passageway for ships. Nowadays, the strait is traversed by a series of bridges, connecting the two regions of Hirematia by road and rail.

5. Indawagyi Sea


6. Chagayang Bay

7. Gulf of Inertia

    Named for Northern Inertia, a former delegate of the SLU.

8. Ainish Sea

      I feel like this one is pretty self-explanatory.
