If you could control the movement of tectonic plates from Pangea to now or just remake it freely like Simcity with the same amount of land, what would be the ideal way to do it? (lemmy.zip)

I was thinking one band for most of it around the globe but to taper wider at the best climates for farming, leisure, surfing, etc., with other cool islands that would spell out my name or make a cool design to almost prove the existence of God /you by having the all the islands shaped like cats.

In this scenario you are a designer (watch maker) God who then turns into a person that has to live in the world they design

Wouldn't you sacrifice a lot of biodiversity though by going too hard on the productive land? I would definitely put most of the land in that region but think we'd miss out on cool stuff if we put too much there

    Perhaps, I suppose one could also say that the entire planet is land though, just that some of it happens to be underwater. If we need to maintain a constant amount of sea water we could make the planet donut shaped, one large column of water running through the middle hole which would then allow more land to be above sea level, allowing for more habitable space and diversity?

    Homer Simpson as a god, mmm donut planet...
