First, I want to say that I love this idea in general. And I think the four you picked are excellent. If this is a one-off map, why not have them be random like you have them? I'm all for that.
That said, not sure this is a "better idea,"just trying to expand on your idea... if this concept catches on, why not do a "Four Corners" pack, like the Interstate system? I'm thinking each region would encompass four smallish states. The below is just a series of examples, nothing I'd write in stone...
Four Corners of the Americas [Suriname, Dominican Republic, Belize, Uruguay]
Four Corners of Africa [Tunisia, Rwanda, Ghana, Lesotho]
Four Corners of Asia [Nepal, East Timor, Sri Lanka, Taiwan]
Four Corners of Europe [Monaco, Liechtenstein, Kosovo, Denmark]
Four Corners of the Middle East [Qatar, UAE, Lebanon, Kuwait]
Would be a lot of work, but if the general concept catches fire--and it seems like people really like it--why not have a series planned out before you get started, so that there's a clear path to developing more than one of these sort of maps?
