Also, please provide discussion in the comments about the following matters:
* Should the initial continent be limited to "white" races? (I use white in the current American census definition, meaning of European, Hispanic, Latino, or Middle-Eastern origin)
* Since this will be an entire world, would you like to see future players be given the choice of whether to settle on the first continent or to settle on a new one (to spread out players and not make the first area overpopulated)?
Your vote: Roughly the size of the U.K.
