.SH DESCRIPTION
.B fairland
is a program which creates land for Empire.  It should be run after
.I files
has been run and before
.I emp_server
has been started.  It creates a specified number of start islands
("continents"), and spaces them evenly accross the map.  It makes all
of them the same size, and makes sure that they don't meet.  It gives
each start island exactly the same distribution of resources and the
same number of mountains.  Different arguments produce quite different
kinds of maps.
