I had an world I named Ocean-3 earlier, but I like Neptune as a naming convention better.

Neptune-7 is topographically identical to Homeline, with sea levels raised 2000 feet, leaving a few chains above water. Sediment and erosion indicate that the sea level rose over a few centuries circa 5000 BCE, suggesting it may be "weird" somehow, but nothing is in evidence.

Neptune -7 will have a fair number of people, and even continents. 2000 feet is not all that high of an elevation. Most of Africa south of the Sudan and the DR Congo will remain above water. The mountainous stretch from Turkey through Iran, Afghanistan, Tibet and Mongolia remains dry. The Mountainous stretch of north america stays above sea level, including large chunks of historical Mexico.



Of course, you are loosing huge chunks of land, its just that large chunks remain.
