This project has its own enforced policy: its purpose is a pure artistic creation project (or game with its rules) which forbids using any data representing real object on Earth. Even the displayed names must be invented.

The map is in constant evolution (work in progress), it may evolve over time more rapidly and more dramatically than what occurs on real Earth. It has its own imaginary local events similar to what exists on Earth: hurricanes, floodings, volcanoes, political events, dictatures or democratic processes; islands or continents may appear suddenly or disappear completely; cities may be destroyed or replanned completely differently by their authors in their approved area of work; shipping lines or roads may appear or disappear, a previously dry desert could become a rain forest...
