hulmey wrote:in most places to own a continent you only need to hold one or 2 countries in the right position! unfortunately there is nothing he can really do about it, but start over again! Its a pity coz the map is beautiful and very different (theme wise) to the ones we have on offer right now!

iancanton wrote:the arctic still has the "extreme global warming" look, primarily because europe and africa need to be moved northward by a centimetre and some of asian russia ought to be expanded northward.

iancanton wrote:in latin inscriptions, it was a common convention to use the letter v instead of u, since the romans wrote u as v. this is certainly the case on many public buildings and pre-decimal coinage, for example post-ww2 period, in the uk. clicking on picture number 2 shows a close-up of a coin where george is rendered as georgivs... perhaps u can apply this to the continent names (unless u think there is confusion caused by there being a real v or two in the territory names).

iancanton wrote:have u considered a thin outer glow of deeper blue where the sea meets the land (much as u've done with the land where it meets the sea) and also at the border of each continent?
