If you move that division into the vertical africa/europe plane you could avoid dividing most of the sea. I think it might make the midatlantic ridge a bit clearer (or at least make it look better).

I just wanted to clarify my idea from before. Obviously I did a quick hack job with the graphics, but you get the idea.
In this version, it would look a lot better if you connected the arctic see in the NE of north america to the atlantic. That would also eliminate the problem of having the arctic with only one border. Then the only other change would be drawing the connection from red to green below Africa like the Alaska-Kamchatka off the map connection in Classic.
Also, all of the choke points (gibraltor, bering strait, red sea, panama) need to be widened to the point of being unrealistic, because I think they are meant to be connections but they're too narrow to tell.

That would be the PERFECT place to use a recent suggestion of the foundry- have a country that can be attacked but can't attack any where else. That way any armies you have on the bermuda triangle would be essentially lost, and could only act defensively. That is possible with the XML too (all one way borders) and its a feature that no map has so I think it would be an awesome way to make this map a little different than all of the others.

And the wall in the middle of the atlantic still seems like a bad idea - make it fewer, larger territories, and add territories elsewhere - north atlantic, baltic, med, caspian, hudson bay, etc?
