Western Ocean

Western Ocean is a part of the grid. On previous edition, Western Ocean was too large, including about 40% of all private-owned land. Its borders were also not well defined, so it swallowed the South-Western Ocean. Now, it is divided into Far West Ocean and Western Ocean.
== Statistics ==
Surface: 7.2 grid sectors
Surface without void gaps: 7.2
Sims: 3600
Sim Density: 5%
Unassoicated Sims: 50%
== Previous Info ==
Western Ocean was defined as West to South-Western Ocean. It is separated to East by Eden and Irish - Bonaire continents, while in North, the boundary is the Wild West continent. It could include the Remote South-Western Sea. In practice, however, continent detectors that used these coordinates (see ContinentDetector) included half of the grid into this ocean.
== Borders and coordinates ==
Small continents are not visible from world map at lowest resolution. So, this time borders are fixed using the largest private continents, Eden and Caledon - Winterfel. Eden is at the corner of Western Ocean, Northern Ocean, North - West Ocean and Far West Ocean. Borders are now fixed as follows:
*To West, a line that goes through Eden Continent
*To East, a line that goes through Caledon - Winterfel
*To North, a line that goes through Eden Continent
*To South, a line that goes through extreme South of Jeogeot.
Overall coordinates now are: 680-1067/900-1200.
Grid Sector: F9, F10, F11, G9, G10, G11, H9, H10, H11, I9, I10, I11. However, it coveres only a small part of 6 grid sectors, so overall surface is about 7 grid sectors.
== Geography ==
Western Ocean has a high sim density and no void gaps. It is full-packed with sims. It also hosts some private continents.

=== Divisions ===
Sim density is almost homogenous. There are two continents inside the ocean, but if we divide it into smaller basins, this will create confusions. Also, Irish - Bonaire lost a lot of its sims. If this process continues, soon it will become a microcontinent. The only suggestion might come from the independent state of Caledon, who talk about their waters. So, a few sims around Caledon - Winterfel can be included into a small sea.
== Overall ==
Inside oceanic waters, there are a few continents, like Irish - Bonaire and Uhre Continent, while Caledon - Winterfel and Eden are at oceanic border. There are 13 sim clusters (2 of them extend from a grid sector to another). 12 microcontinents could be found, all of them are themed. One structure is complex (both a sim cluster and a microcontinent).
A119 (Wastelands) is a remnant of human civilisation, with toxic lakes, abandoned buildings and ruins.
Many places are paradise tropical beaches.
