Do what Baldur's Gate did and use Canadian coins.

When you donate gold to temples, the little animation of coins falling into the offering bowl uses loonies and toonies.

As a geology grad, thumbs up for Effectronica's advice. To add my two cents, the layout makes me think there must be a deep volcanic trench between the northern and southern continents, so maybe the continents are slowly moving north and south (like a few centimeters a year). Also you could put some volcanic mountains on those islands if you wanted, sort of like Japan or Hawaii.

As for the volcanic trench, I have a question: what exactly does that mean for the stretch of sea between those regions? Underwater volcanic activity? That might be a good place to have an underwater civilization, since it given them access to

Basically there is a long division between undersea tectonic plates where new magma rises up, pushing existing rock outwards, and in turn pushing the continents away (like comparing North America and Europe), so there is plenty of underwater volcanic activity. I'd expect the ocean to be fairly deep between the north and south continents, compared to similar northern and southern continents.

Also island adventures and volcanoes go hand in hand :v:
