Mmm, I think that Beleguer, after the removal of the Undying Lands, is probably designed to correspond to the Pacific. Spans a very large portion of the world globe, with Middle-Earth (the continents, or at least the Old World) all on the other side.

Talking of continents, I seem to remember a quote from somewhere (not in any of the major books, perhaps in a letter or HoME or something) that talks about another, smaller, unpopulated and very little-documented continent, to the East of Middle-Earth -- the supposed origin of the Americas. I think I probably came accross this thing here, actually. Does anyone know anything about this, or could I possibly have been mistaken? (or simply dreamed it up)
