Also, for my history it would be very useful to know whether the map we're using represents the circumference of the world, whether the map's West is to the east of its East? Knowing whether or not that is the case should help me a lot in figuring out the etymology for my nation. :)

There is more beyond the map but it isn't yet the focus of the RP. Pushing the boundaries to a full world would certainly be a thing I would do, but the RP has to last long enough for me to do so and the current map filled enough.
