Why not just build off of the real map of the world, maybe with a few modifications? Many of the navies are based on real-world countries, so it would seem kind of strange to have them just be located on random islands (also there was mention of things like the Middle East and ORDER forces moving into Canada from the US, so those would have to be retconned). I was thinking maybe you could start out with the real Earth's geography, but then make the planet a good bit larger (all landmasses become smaller relative to the total map size) and use the additional space to add a bunch of other smallish continents and islands for the navies that aren't based off of real countries.
