Of course, I have no idea how you make them fit. But I am thinking if they could at least run at similar angles/directions, so that Mehedinti is heading the same way as Dambviti, that is up and to the right.
To say a little more, the colors are bright and lively, and the prominent army circles show that there are creative ways to work in the CC requirements to a map. Bravo on this. But with so much already going on, the names heading off all over the place, in my opinion, take away from the overall look.
I personally like the prominent background image, but I would like to see perhaps a thicker line around the outside edge of the map.
About the territory names-
Most are able to be placed horizontally. But some are not, unless I allow them to cross out from their borders. I wanted to keep everything clean, and have all names within their borders. So here was my dilemma, with most names in a uniformed horizontal fashion, the ones that were not, seemed out of place and inharmonious with the rest of the map. This was fighting the clean look I was after, so I decided to just make them all in a "randomesk" pattern. I know that I have not quit got it yet, but I thought that I would wait until I have added all the mountains and rivers and such, before I spend any more time on name placements, as this will affect the available space to do so.
About the "thicker line"-
Do you mean around the land, or around the entire map ?
