How would I alter the poles of a procedural earth to do something like this? (Change where the axis of rotation occurs)

Hi.
I would create a locale file for update a mod but when the locale for a language doesn't exist, isn't load the English database.
So there are a possibility in script to force to load if isn't found the database for the user language ?
Because I won't to create one by one a files for each language (ex : eng-db, fra-db,...).

How would I alter the poles of a procedural earth to do something like this? (Change where the axis of rotation occurs)

I know we can change the Obliquity but change where is the axis of the rotation, I think isn't possible now. So a alternative is made a bump map of the Earth like you want.

How could I do that? I don't know how to create bump maps and such. Is there an online tool for it?

please help me also to make my bump map of the Earth

NASA's Global Map Projector is free to download
