Seas: names and gulf streams
Dear members of the MCS council,
I would like to submit two proposals concerning the seas of Micras:
First: some seas seem to be nameless. Here I have made a map, on which I have put some suggestions and questions:

Second: To make realistic maps, I have studied the climate effects of gulf streams on imaginary earth. At the psychical map of Micras I have projected wave currents. It can be more beautiful in terms of graphics, but it does give a picture.

Re: Seas: names and gulf streams
The gulf stream development would certainly be an interesting thing to work out for Micras and could affect/be affected by the climate map that Bijaro has been working on and trying to perfect over the past couple of years. I'd certainly recommend collaborating with him if you have real-world experience with studying climates to produce even more accurate maps for Micras.
In regards to the labelling of the physical map, we have a recent precedent in the process of adding names for features. I'll add that I've personally always thought the Great Western Sea extended to the south-west of Benacia, however. As for the bodies for which you've suggested the names "Sea of Absentia" and "Jasonian Sea", are there any sources which have used those names before now - prior reference to a name is always a good start when trying to bring that name into others' parlance (as in the case of the Strait of Haifa)
