That being said, aside from "East Indies", I'm not fond of the change in the bonus area names, as they aren't really proper names for some of those areas, and I hate using cardinal directions to name bonus areas. In addition, you call the red bonus area "North & West Asia" in the legend at the bottom-left, but seem to refer to it as "Soviet Socialist Republics" in the bottom-right legend.

Yeah i know, I hate to admit the I was forced to put it "upside down", but let me say that the old one wasn't really placed with a logic. Anyway, to have it reversed i have to enlarge the map (now it is 630px), that is something we'd like to avoid.

Good point. All revamps should go through the foundry.
We're always told that "seasonal" maps get a pass from the foundry process because they aren't playable all the time, and the admin "doesn't want to spoil the surprise" or whatever, but this is a map that is in the regular circulation, it shouldn't get any special treatment just because it's the foundry foreman doing the revamp.
On another note, why is Kazakhstan abbreviated on the map? There's plenty of room for the full territory name. Abbreviations should only be used when the full name can't comfortably fit on the map.
