Of indeterminant size and shape.

Regions

Compare the three maps below of the Island World of Claymore with the manga and anime Series. Despite differences:

Eastern Quadrant

Called Sutare (mentioned by Clare in manga scene 5, called Sutafu in anime). Desert spreads toward the east, where the Organization is headquartered in the town of Staff (manga Scene 41, anime Scene 15).

Northern Quadrant

Called Alphonse/Alfonse (mentioned by Riful in manga Scene 49 and anime Scene 17). Mountainous, hyperboreal lands. Has volcano (anime Scene 24, doesn't appear in manga).

Site of towns of Pieta and Dabi. The region is headquarters of Isley of the North.

Central Region

Called Toulouse (mentioned by Cynthia in manga Scene 83). Green lands and valleys. Site of holy city of Rabona/Labona (first mentioned in manga Scene 5, anime Scene 3).

Western Quadrant

Called Lautrec (mentioned by Cynthia in manga Scene 83). Site of the town of Hanel (mentioned at beginning of anime Scene 15, town is unnamed in manga). Hanel has a Teresa and Clare statue on display.

Nearby Mount Zakol is headquarters ("Witch's Maw") of Riful of the West (manga Scene 42, anime Scene 15).

Lacroa (mentioned by Rimuto in manga Scene 89), town where Clare, Cynthia and Yuma meet Rubel.

Ticheri (mentioned by one of Dae's men in manga Scene 96), town where the Organiztion recovers an injured Raki.

Southern Quadrant

Called Mucha (mentioned by Galatea in manga Scene 90). Green lands, mountains and desert. Headquarters of Luciela of the South. The similarly named town of Musha is the birthplace claimed by Priscilla (manga Extra Scene 3).

Where Does Raki Come From?

Raki mentions in manga Scene 56 that he comes from the town of Doga. But due to different English translations, he either says "I'm from the plains around Doga in the southern lands" (earlier English translation) or:

"I'm from Doga village in the west." (English translation based on Japanese original).



The towns of Stora and Egon (where Clare deposits Raki) may be near Raki's hometown. And Mount Shire (named in anime only) where Clare rendezvous with Elena, may also be in the vicinity. But whether these locations are actually in Mucha, Lautrec or elsewhere, is unclear.

Trivia

Maps
 * According to Cynthia, the Organization divided the "continent into four parts," one each to the three Abyssal Ones and one to the Organization (manga Scene 83).
 * Uncertain locations in the Claymore series may include: Godahl Plateau, towns of Teo and Rokut (Teresa arc), towns of Toriro and Lido and the Paburo Mountains (Miria arc), town of Gonal (Ophelia arc).
 * Differences in translations, spellings, as well as between manga and anime also contribute to uncertainity of locations.
