From Alternative History

The name given to the new lands of the west. This name varies in the lands that discovered it. The Northmen of Scandanavia called in Vinland and the Chin called it Ming (after their most glorious empire). Nova Roma is the most varied of the continents. It has tundras in the very north. It has a large chain of mountains on its western coast. It contains many large islands to the north, and many small islands in the south. Southern Nova Roma has a large forest of tropical plants. It also has a wide plain; as does Northern Nova Roma. The lands have hundreds of different peoples, who call themselves "tribes". They have adapted incredibly to their environment. Their ways are still vastly unknown to all peoples of the "Old World".
