True, but one step at a time Gameplay first - cartos, may I ask what's holding this up?

Could you please update your first post so everyone can have a clear idea of your current gameplay? (I ask because the artistic version shows some difference from the computer image in the OP)
Considering the technique you're going to use on this map and the effort/time you're going to put onto it, I have to warn you about the color you're going to use.
See how it looks for colorblind people:

Ok here's my restructure based on IH's Revisions. Arabia is now it's own independant non-bonus region. I also went ahead and made a few more name changes. Also I added another Immpassable in the Ethiopia area. Maybe I'm going mad with immpassable's what do you guys think?

if it's 1914 you should mention that on the map somewhere imo. also since it's 1914, you might want to make morocco french, given IH's post.
it could be cool if the gray areas were unplayable or had some bonus value of their own, though how that would be done i have no idea. as is it seems like they're just taking up space.
and if i didn't catch this forgive me, but will the colonizers be default starting positions?
A couple clarification notes:
- The use of the black/red counterpoint doesn't set them apart enough. While it's clear (mostly), it also looks cluttered. Perhaps try (parentheses) for the colonial bonus, or otherwise distinguish the additional bonus.
- You mean "can attack or be attacked by" for that section, though "borders" works just as well and takes up less space.
