I know it has WAY to much territories, they're the communes of France!
It has 36,569 of them!!! I just thought it would be funny to show.

It would be a nice 20v20v20 map. Or 30v30v30v30.

If it was possible, would anyone of you make it?

I think if someone make this, that would be larger than 2 mbyte...

I said, if it was possible.

But I wonder why you can't make maps with more than 3200 territories. Does anyone know?

Possibly performance issues, USA Big is already slow (it has ~3000 territs), imagine what would happen if map had ~30000 territories...

Okay, but here's a question:
If WL had all the laggfreeness and tolerance for a file as that, would you make one?
Or play it?

I would play it, especially a 20 v 20 v 20

Well, if it were doable, I'd definitely play on it. It would probably takes months, though, and as of yet Warlight does not support more than 24 players (as there are 24 colours.)

I know this was only a thought experiments, but in this concrete case, it would be a much better idea to first make a map of only the 22 *régions* (small), - the *Medium Map* is already there -, the >300 *arondissements* (large), and the nearly 4,000 *cantons* (king size - bigger than USA Big).

The *Large US Map* is already impractically large: there are a lot of *Unnamed Counties* and missing connections. Still, because it's the ***only*** map with more than 1,000 territories, it's become a legend.
There are already some really good, really large maps, like the *East Asia Map*, and I know that there are some large maps in the making.
A huge *Hexagon Map*'s just out - the *fourth biggest map ever* - and there's someone working on a huge *Norway Map*.
I myself am working on a fictional map that I plan to have somewhere around 210 territories, making it the *fourth biggest fictional map ever*, only 6 short of surpassing the *East Confines Map*.

I like your ambition, Moros, but seeing that French map dazzles me. I mean, look at it from a distance and it's like an example of cross hatching...
Then again, to achieve the improbable, one has to dream of the impossible.

I want, eventually.. every country to have county*ish size territories made in BIG formats of those countries, that we can then combine to make the ultimate, Earth_Huge

@Domenico
I'm working on a large Canada map, that'll have 300-400 territories, with every island a territory and on the mainland every census division a territory, it'll be the 6th or 7th biggest real world map!

That is rather awesome... :)
Do remember that as Dutchmen we are not allowed to make maps larger than 430 territories (the size of *The Netherlands Map*) as that would diminish our Kingdom's awesomeness *(even more)* unless your get Her Royal Majesty's personal permission.
I once tried to get that permission and I've been hiding in Antwerpen ever since... O.o *oh snap...*
Neh, just trolling, keep up the good work. :)

Aah, I was thinking of a super large Europe map I just found on the internet, wich includes all provinces from all countries. It'll have 800+ territories...
And next a large China with 2400+!!!
But I should rather first finish Canada.

Well, I assume the World Huge as described by Perrin would have around 100.000-150.000 territs, or even more. That would be pretty epic.

150.000? I was rather thinking of around a million! Only France already has 36.000 county-level territs, imagine how many Russia will have!

> 150.000? I was rather thinking of around a million! Only France already has 36.000 county-level territs, imagine how many Russia will have!

Russia has a much lower population density, so it probably won't have many more (if more at all). I can't find any more information about this, except that there are 83 highest-level subdivisions, called federal objects: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federal_subjects_of_Russia Each one one them might be subdivided differently, since Russia is a federation - maybe some Russian here could shed some light on it?

Let's count it for few countries:
France: ~36000 ([http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Communes_of_France](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Communes_of_France))
Poland: ~40000 ([http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sołectwo](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sołectwo))
Germany: ~12000 ([http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Municipalities_of_Germany](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Municipalities_of_Germany))
Spain: ~8000 ([http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Municipalities_of_Spain](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Municipalities_of_Spain))
Italy: ~8000 ([http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Communes_of_Italy](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Communes_of_Italy))
United States: ~3000 ([http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/County_(United_States)](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/County_(United_States)))
Sum: ~107000.

Well, my calculations about 100.000-150.00 are way underestimated, it turns out it could possibly be even half a million.

I still think over a million, since you forgot China and India, they've got lots of people so lots of places to put people in

> Poland: ~40000 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sołectwo)

I wouldn't really use sołectwos here, they often consist of just one village, and comparing them to US's counties is a bit silly - for example, area of Coconino County in Arizona is almost a sixth of area of Poland ;) [[1]](http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=area+of+Coconino+County%2C+Arizona%2C+area+of+Poland) (I admit I picked an extreme example, but still.)

Poland has communes as well (called "gminas"), and there are ~2500 of them - these would be "perfect" for a huge map.
