The images were the best I could find. I'll look some more and find better ones.
I'm assuming you mean the text at the top? Aw, I liked it. I thought it was funny. Oh well. I can cut it.

No, I meant on the small scale like on Denmark. If you do have it covering the whole background, then you will need to subdue it so that it is barely visible. Just enough that you can see it, and just enough that it doesn't detract from the playable area.

How? Can you be a bit more specific?

I did that so that people in the foundry would know, but I guess I can just put that stuff in the first post.
Good suggestions, man. Thank you for those - I should have some fun working on them.
