The name of the brown continent is unreadable. Not hard to read - I genuinely cannot read it.
Also (non-expert opinion), there are too many links between continents.

Big enough to hold at least a 2-digit army number.

In order to make an original map, I would suggest to make the inland part of Svalbards a not playable area since they are covered by ice.
i like the ship draft you putted in the right down corner of the map..
So my idea would be to make Svalbard map a really sea map... using the insland only as harbours and using as territories many ships...
Maybe the theme of the map could be a scientific (and not only) competition between the nations that want to reach the north pole from Svalbards... you could aslo use the fact that on the main insland there's the northest university of the world....
you could also put some iceberg on the map... I don't know... just use your fantasy...

so, at end, I suggest a total change about the map ideas and goals...

have a look to theis map to take inspiration and to take some more accurate location name...

Well i finally decided to wiki svalbard and find out about it, its a state in Norway. People get upset when states of the US are proposed, why does a state of Norway deserve to be mapped?

Because USA states are all inland with square boaders, and very little obstacles. This state is comprised of mainly islands with unique placements. Similar to some country maps, or even the classic map

I also think it doesnt deserve it, even why we have other areas that could be more interesting.

If you want to do an island-type map do Falklands, not much difference between the too except ppl die over falklands. The population of Svalbard is 3000, not spectacularly big.
