Introduction

So I am going to use real world geography to create my sterile world. This is merely artificial, and does not take into account real world history or will try to replicate it in anyway. I will merely use it to

  1. Generate character physical appearance
  2. Scale landmass and population
  3. Determine biomes and weather.
  4. While there isn't a deliberate attempt to create a link with actual world, there might be real world parallels due to coincidence like low population in Ice biomes

So for a regions that is analogous to Sub-sahara Africa, the typical character will have a dark skin, brown eyes and kinky hair. The geography will have desert on the northern border, rainforest in the middle and a cold climate in the south.

How are these regions determined?

  1. No region should have more than 5% of the world's population
  2. Start with world and breaks them down to continents
  3. If any continent is less than 5%, leave it like that (e.g Oceania), otherwise, break it down into subregions like North, West etc (e.g. )
  4. If sub region is greater than 5%, then extract the top countries until the subregions have less 5%
  5. Countries will be left as it is, meaning we don't break countries apart, for example China and India makes about 17% each, I am not going to break it down further.
  6. The regions and populations are based on Worldometers website
