For the earth map, the first 14 nations are already tied to a specific
location. I don't know exactly how the other locations are determined, but
they seem to be choosing from that list (so if you are the Dunedain or
Cornish, you might start where the English should, I think). They
certainly aren't random, I have _never_ shown up on Australia, or on any
of the tiny islands (eg Japan). Now it is possible to do so, if desired.
