Flunjinkigorgle

This ridiculously huge (180x94) map was initially conceived on 23rd May 2019, it was intended to be the first in a three-part series of maps collectively representing a fictional world, with this depicting the northern hemisphere (known by its natives as ‘Flunjinkigorgle’). It was to be followed by a desert landmass map representing the world’s equator and a third map depicting the southern hemisphere.

This map was co-created with my friend who drew concepts for the landmasses (see below) and came up with most of their ludicrous names.

Upon finalisation of the map on the 25th I decided to develop an outline of Flunjinkigorgle’s lore including: a basic timeline, the origin of man, dual deities, a secondary language and more. I then decided to write more detailed lore for each land, starting with Bissybimgoo. I wrote about 1.3k words on Biss Biss, the Bissers civilization and their early leaders before I gave up, conceding that it was a needlessly massive undertaking for something that started out as a bit of a joke. Thinking that I might return to the project at a future date, I officially tapped out 7th July 2019.

But before doing so I had created two maps. The first labels the names of every island, the second labels the names of every water formation (however I never finished it so many names are missing, specifically the bays). I intended to make more maps labelling rivers, mountain ranges and unofficial names of areas.

Today (14th July 2022) I rediscovered the folder containing my work on Flunjinkigorgle and decided it was a waste not to upload it, even in its unfinished state. I’m especially fond of the western island (Chreggnogg), and have considered recreating this, if not the whole map, in Civilization VI someday. However, I cannot testify to its adequacy as a playable map, I tried to evenly distribute natural wonders and randomised resources and goodies. Due to its size I'd play with 12+ civilizations (you could easily play maxed) and at marathon length for immersions sake, but that's probably just me.
