The names of Planet's continents

[Ari Rahikkala]

Apolyton didn't have an answer so I'll try here: The three continents on the map of Planet. Are there canonical names for them? Or at least semi-canonical names? Names used in some popular fanfiction? Names established in demogames? Names you just came up with?

And if there are no canonical names, what names do you think they should have? The west continent (well, west on the map) could pick up the name Pholus from the Pholus Ridge, and the east one Eurytion from Eurytion Bay. The problem is that the middle continent, the one with Garland Crater, doesn't have a geographical feature that shares its name with a centaur from Greek mythology. To pick a centaur with a reasonably pronounceable name... Mimas, maybe? It already has a meaning that science (and science fiction( geeks are aware of.

The SMAC Prima Strategy Guide has a fold-out map of Planet, but it doesn't name the continents. The Guide also has a two-page article by Chris Pine (one of the SMAC developers) about how he created the map. He mentions that Brian (Reynolds) was responsible for the names. No mention of any specific names for the continents, though.

I just looked in the manual, which holds a place of honor upon my shelf, and I couldn't find anything.
