    So if you look at wynn, it takes quite a while to get from ragni all the way to almuj, and for gavel, it takes a Really long time to get from Llevigar to molten heights, but for corkus, getting from one end to the other takes less then 5 minutes. I feel like Corkus should of been worked on a bit more because atm it just seems too small to be a actual province, when I first went to corkus, I completed every quest in under 6 hours, and then I found myself with nothing to do there, so far the only thing in corkus are just secrets that could take months to figure out, I mean look at the sinking pond, that was found within a couple of days of corkus releasing yet no one has figured it out yet. you could probably fit multiple corkus' into gavel and wynn just because how small it is. At this point I'm ready to call it a island.

    As far as lore goes, Corkus is not a province, but wants to be one.

    It's an island that WANTS to be a province. Also, there is no definitive size for provinces. Think of them as countries: they can be as big as Russia or as small as Panama

    Isn't that the lore of the island "they want to get recognised as a province but wynn and gavel are to busy at war to recognise them" or something like that

    Nauru is the smallest island nation in the world. It is 21 square kilometers (or 21000 square meters)
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nauru

    In minecraft a block is about a meter (the height of Steve is about 2 blocks and the height of a human is about 2 meters)

    If someone figures how many blocks Corkus is at its width and height, just multiply those two numbers together. If corkus is smaller than Nauru then it is too small to be a province.

    However is smallest Province in the world is Prince Edward Island at 5,620 square kilometers in size...

    Just saying...

    Since Wynn was eventually recognized by Fruma and Gavel for being a province full of natural, formidable warriors. Perhaps Corkus will be recognized as a province for their advancements in technology and the invention of (the gimic)Electromagic, this is if they get their act together with the whole Fallen Factory thing.

    Unfortunately, this is not really true, due to the definition of province simply being "a principal administrative division of certain countries or empires," and that of a country being "a nation with its own government, occupying a particular territory." To be completely honest, the provinces in Wynn are more similar to countries than provinces.

    No matter, since I'll do the math anyway. Well, roughly. Ok, fine, very roughly. I am still trying to have fun.

    Using this map compared to landmarks on the official map for measurements, Corkus is around 800 x 1450 blocks, (this could be completely wrong, mind you, and is an extraodinarily vague estimate, but it's the best I can get as of now. May remeasure another time) making it 1,160,000 square meters, or 1160 square km.

    Bigger than Nauru, but smaller than PEI. Probably.

    1 Million Square meters is actually only a single Square kilometer :P

    So technically the whole WynnCraft map would be roughly 36 Square Kilometers. Mind you, this includes the Wynn Province, Gavel, and even the ocean. And that is also an over estimate.

    If Corkus is 1000 blocks across and 1000 blocks for width, it would only be 1 kilometer in both sides. That is even smaller than some random parks you could find nearby!

    In the wynncraft lore, Corkus is a very big island, (probably big enough to be a province) but isent a province because it is not recognized by the other provinces (Fruma, Wynn and Gavel (not Dern as it is debated weather it is a province or not, thought we dont know the story of dern as well as we do about Corkus' story))
    Some people think that Corkus should be considered a province, because it has power that could be on par with the other provinces.

    But generally the "Provinces" in wynncraft, act more like countries, they just use the word "Province" For some unknown reason. And I think that Corkus act like a country, so why not a province?

    The reason that Corkus is not recognized is because of the fact, that the ocean is considered a grey zone, Gavel and Wynn probably do not want to have complicated relations with each other. And because the people of Corkus fled from Fruma, Fruma most likely will not recognize them in the near future.

    It becomes even more problematic when taking the Avos into consideration, as they are the ones who originally inhabited the island, and some of them are not happy with the Corkians being on "Their Island". The Avos originally just let the people fleeing from Fruma stay on their island, but the fleeing Frumans, decided to settle and call them selves the Corkians, which upset the Avos, as the just ment to let them stay for awhile.

    Greenland aint a continent, it is a part of the NorthAmarican continetial plate.
    It is a country but it is a part of the Danish kingdom.
    And Denmark is a part of the Eurasian continetial plate.
    wait Euroasian? yeah Europe and Asisa shares continetial plates, they are generally cosidered diffrent continents because of the differences in culture though.
    But for that logic India would be its own continent aswell, and random continential plates in the ocean, which has no surface landmass.

    --------

    Also im 99% sure there is spelling mistakes, sorry about that.

    FYI you did your math completely wrong...

    1 sq km =/= 1,000 sq m
    1 sq km = 1,000 m * 1,000 m = 1,000,000 sq m

    1,160,000 / 1,000,000 = 1.16 sq km


    Alternatively you can convert m to km before you find area...

    1 km = 1,000 m
    0.8 km * 1.45 km = 1.16 sq km

    21 sq km / 1.16 sq km ≈ 18.1

    The smallest country in the world is in fact 18 times larger than Corkus.

    We all know that Nauru is the smallest island country, but who cares about it being an island. That doesn't mean anything whether it's a province or not.

    Look at the Vatican City. It's 0.44 km². I don't think there's a certain size you have to be to be classified as a country.
