My brother spent sporadic parts of 5 years (1991-1996) drawing individual
pages of what when is all put together make a map of a still extremely
unfinished planet i refer to as "Alan's World".  So far it has 23 pages,
including all of the Northern Continent, all of the Southern Continent,
the western edge of the Eastern Continent, and a disconnected glimpse of
part of the Far West Continent (the names of whose countries neither of
us can remember at all how to pronounce).  One day i went through the
maps and made a list of all the names - including a few doubles, it added
up to 190 names.  A lot of the names have semi-inconsistantly used
diacritics.
