Well.  It seams I'm another con-whatever in this list.  I have probably n=
one
at hand at this time but I remember having drawing costlines, borders,
rivers and cities, but I guess most of them unrelated with language (exce=
pt
for naming them).  One of the things I was getting more fun in my Hangker=
im
project was in drawing the borders of the several countries in that world
(after Hangkerim is an alternative history Earth, mountains and costlines
are already defined).

Probably if my nonlabial-nondental or my vowelless fricative language
develops beyond phonology I could design my own planet.

Yes, it seams I'm too multitasking... if at least one of the task ends
without and "Unrecoverable error" or an "application not responding" ;-D
