To create a private world, you login to the game then on the select world page click on create private world. You will now be facing a choice between the entire world, selected continents or any countries which have above 50 gates. After you have chosen which type of world geography you would like, you will be presented with a map selection page. Depending on the continents you have chosen, you will be presented with a list of the worlds you have available. If for example you choose 'South America, Asia and Australiasia', you will get a selection with only them. Under the 'Minimum gates' column there will be numbers. These numbers denoted which type and how many airports will be in the world. If for example it says 101 gates, it means any airports with above or including 101 gates will be present in the game.
