[edit] Trivia
- Its name is a reference to the Western Hemisphere (including North America, South America, and the Caribbean), which was nicknamed the "New World" during the European exploration. This was in comparison to the "Old World" or the Eastern Hemisphere in the perspective of a Eurocentric world view.
- It´s very likely that the giant island, Elbaf, is also located in the New World.
