Description:[edit]
Aquataine is a blue world with a surface area 30% larger than Earth, and a similar density. The most noticable feature of the world is the fact that though there are four large continents, sea level on this world is so high that all four continents are submerged beneath a single planetary-spanning saltwater ocean.
