or just simple Asia Map

it would be nice to have a new Asia map
as this one is just bad for my eyes

Something just occurred to me. You could do an inset around NK and SK and then be able to approach the islands of Japan separately.

Since this map, in its current idea, looks mostly to be a political map, perhaps naming it 'Asian Nations' would cover the area and idea?

I think it's time for Peter Gibbons to decide on a name for his map, or to run a poll with any candidate names he wants to include from the many nominees already posted. It seems like the name is just about the only thing anyone is discussing here (IH's recent post is the exception).

Probably because we are all waiting on a graphic update!

The States of Asia, then. There are Asian nations currently without states (Kurds, Palestinians, Tibetans etc). I am not arguing they all should, but what we have here are the states' boundaries. There IS a difference.

Priority should be keeping it under Asia in the clusterfuck of a map selection menu CC has. It took me a long time to realize we had a China map because it was under Greater China.

How about Pan Asia? It's both catchy and appropriate.

Well there certainly isn't a lack of interest. I for one would love to see this map continue forward!

Sadly, considering the number of posts lately, it looks like there might be a lack of interest, but that may be due to the lack of updates and the long fruitless discussion about the name of the map.

I absolutely love the idea to have a new Asia map to play!

A couple of quick thoughts:

- the name is the last important thing right now. For now use something like Greater Asia....or leave a new asia map.
- Azerbaijan, Georgia and Armenia looks weird...if possible i'd like to see another inset like the one used with Israel
- You should "cut" (or make gray) a part of Papua New guinea to match the real indonesian borders.

- Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan, Baharein and Qatar, Malaysia and Singapore will surely create you some problems....lot of countries in so few space...

- The island labelled as indonesia is Sulawesi or Celebes
