Description
WARNING! NOT ALL DATA IN THE MAP ARE CORRECTED, FIRST READ BELOWThis is the final version of Amestris road map, updated with new names.
As with the first two I took pictures from the episodes: 32, 35, 43, 5 and I joined various information.
I added more city names that I found throughout the anime (episodes 10, 35).
To view images from which I drew the map you can see "Images for New Amestris Road Map" postermasterchef.deviantart.coβ¦

In the boxes on the sides of the map I have included some information that I knew, others I have assumed:
By suggesting of I rearranged the distance scale. It's based on size of lunar shadow during the eclipse: taking into account that the shadow has a diameter of 268 km and follows the shape of the transmutation cirlce for the Stone, I approximate the shape of the country with an ellipse of 310x282 km, with an area of 68,625 Km ^ 2 By suggesting of I've changed all unpronounceable or absurd city names with similar ones, but real, taken from Europe maps. By suggesting of I've eliminated the road connection between Yeres and Yoerem in the Central Area. not a single map shows it, I don't why I've put it... thanks to , I've fixed the name of Aszamem in the West Area, because was identical to a city in East Area (both are cities with invented names, so no prob) I calculated population density knowing that the inhabitants are about 50 million. I assumed that the country's official language is English (all is written in that language). I've included some dotted lines (seen in the images of the anime) that I think are sub-regional boundaries, there are also two dotted lines through the entire map that start from the south of South City, I honestly have no idea what they can be...If you notice errors or discrepancies please inform me, pointing to the episode where I can find the correct information, and if you give me the name of a city, please tell me the fake name I've put in the map.
THANK YOU ALL FOR WATCHING AND FOR ANY HELP!!

I'm wondering how big is amestris compared to the nation's of the real world.
π: 0 β©: 1
I wondered that too for a while.
If you consider the size of the Moon shadow you can get an idea (if you assume that the Moon there is the same as ours), but it will be quite small actually.
I have an idea to estimate the size in another way, but I never got time to do it properly.
Maybe I'll do it in the next days/weeks, it's been a while since I posted something

does the cityΒ Β Hiessgart belong to Amestris? just wanted to knowΒ
note: Its the city in which the Second FMA PS2, Fullmetal Alchemist, and the Broken Angel is based on.

Is it okay if I use the names of the various towns in a fanfic story I'm writing? I'll give you full credit for this.
π: 0 β©: 1
OK, It's Fine for me!
Good Luck!

I have noticed that you have used the city-name Aszamem twice - once in the East area, and again in the West area... It seems to me that the one in the West area should be renamed to one that is five letters long - that's what the reference images tell me at least. Say, Thord?
π: 0 β©: 1
Bravo!
my greetings to notice that, just fixed
π: 0 β©: 1
Ah, you're welcome. I was writing the names of the cities and towns down when I caught that.
Honestly, I made the name Thord up on the spot. Since you've given me permission to use this map - I must tell you that I will end up changing some of your city-names.

no prob for me, most of them are just fakes, so...

Do you mind if I use this map for my fanstories?

It's ok, just quote me

If you watch the alchemic circle you'll see that is out of amestris (I've done an image on it: postermasterchef.deviantart.co⦠) also, briggs is a fortress, not a city, so they don't put it in this type of map

This map is absolutely amazing and I pretty much always use this one as a reference, when I need to figure out geographical locations in FMA stuff. I love how you added more of the place names and that you don't claim this is absolutely perfect, since the font is bit unclear in canon, so there might be minor missintereptations, or the Japanese animators just put something random that looks plausible enough.
The only thing I have to complain about, is the fact that some of the filler place names are so out of place in Amestris, especially because lot of people who use this map as a reference don't actually realize that the names aren't canonical and are just there to make the map look complete, so I have read several OC profiles and fanfics that use the names like Oysixayxe, Axnocal and other ridiculous ones. I guess I wish more of the place names were of the more plausible ones like, Dameno, Marco or Semoy, just so that lazy fans would end up picking places that actually sound like they exist, rather than names that look like they just randomly smashed the keyboard.
π: 0 β©: 1
first sorry for the delay, too much university.....
Then, I didn't realize that this map was SO important that people use my random names as reference for fanfic.
maybe is better if I change some of them (the strangest at least...), but in this way people who took reference on it would have some problems.
what do you think about?
π: 0 β©: 1
I'm used to it taking long to get answers on dA, because people have real lives.
Your map happens to be one of the more complete ones so when searching for a map of Amestris it appears to be better/more official than lot of the other fan made maps. The names are referenced in fics often, since there is need to use cities that weren't mentioned in canon, and thus fans randomly pick one and use the made up random name, even if it sounds ridiculous.
If you have the time, it would be better to change the stranger ones, since they really stand out when people reference them in fics and character profiles and such. The people who used the strange names as a reference would probably end up realizing that the paler grey names on your map are random made up stuff, since it seems to have gone unnoticed by most of them.
It's really the extreme commoness of the names with random X's, Y's, Q's and W's that stand out and look unnatural. Lot of the names also don't exactly sound like they are European at all, which kind of doesn't work for a country based on combination of Nazi Germany and Edwardian era Brittish Empire.
Oh by the way, while Metso and Pajubog are somewhat plausible as made up names, they are especially funny to a Finnish person, since Metso is the bird Capercaillie, Paju is the Finnish word for Willow. Also Womiob which is pronouncable is bit unfortunate, since it's so close to Womb. Also Ebolas is probably bit unfortunate due to the disease Ebola. I figured I should mention these cities made up names specificly, since they are pronouncable and look somewhat alright, so you might miss them when going through this map and changing the more ridiculous ones.

I've thinked about it, and I've decided to search for cities I've invented if exist a similar name in Europe, but only with strangest, like ebacofum and egmuridcu, or the ones that doesn't seem European, like haog and irsukya.

Another thing you could use to help determine size is how long the Elrics are on trains from place to place, if it ever says. If you take that time and use the approximate speed steam trains traveled at during the time period (about 20 mph/32 kph, I think ...), you could estimate how long the track is to, say, Resembool, and then scale everything else off of that.
Other than that, this is fantastic. One question though - what's the information in the tiny boxes within the keys down the left side? It doesn't allow to zoom in far enough to read it.

I'm sorry but i can't tell you, because i don't remeber what I've put in it! and I've rasterized it in the image file...
otherwise is something like "..." Km equal to "..." m, probably to fill it as in the real map i've putted some random information about the scale I've used...
You know, at the first time I've thinked about train voyages, but they never said how much they takes!

Your work is absolutely fabulous. I've always been fascinated by something like you do - Describing in detail the cities, and other details of fictional wordls. I'm going to use your map and maybe other stuff as reference in my fanfiction-contest entry.

Thank you! I always liked to organize informations,
knowledge is the key for everything!
Fine for me if you use my work, just quote

Excellent work! This is a really handsome and usefull map

wow the people before me are right it is very small but still omg what an awesome map!!!!!!!
they did say Amestris was small once i guess?
Tasmania is a similar size to Amestris then
But i'm not pretending to know anything abour geography
Don;t believe hiromu arakawa could have made a mistake though so it was probably the moons different
Still this map is SO amazing!!!! O.o

...I think this issue of size will never end...

Pretty reasonable, it's close to South Korea in terms of population density (500 vs 729) and not quite as large.
π: 0 β©: 1
well but South Korea is a modern state, and Amestris is comparable with an European country of hundred years ago. moreover is even greater density.
I think the author has wrong accounts ... or the moon has a different size or distance from the Earth...
π: 0 β©: 0
Calculating distances for travel on this, I notice that Amestris is a very, very tiny country. I understand that you've used measurements from the moon and so forth, but perhaps you might also consider the range of climates, which seem to indicate that Amestris is a lot larger. (Deserts in the south east, perpetual winter in the north, etc.) Using environmental factors and thinking about clothing, housing styles etc, I would think Amestris would be something nearer to the size of Central Europe. :-/ Difficult isn't it?
π: 0 β©: 1
I know, and it was one of the reasons why I waited so long to load it. to me it seems too small, but unfortunately I can only stick to the facts. Perhaps in that world the moon is closer, or larger, we should ask it at the author (perhaps he never raised the issue...)
