I have started with drawing an huge map of Europe. It will not be big like "USA big", but it will have more then 1000 territories.
For each country will be several bonuses (except for minor ones) and one national "super bonus".
This source is my basis for map:

Some of the counties are drawed:

You probably notice national bonus links on the left side. There will be a small map of Europe with all national bonuses.
For national bonus values I was thinking to put population number of country. For example, Germany have population about 82 million - that would be 82 army per turn for 164 territories, and with smaller bonuses a sum closely to number of territories (it will depends how much an country is isolated).
And, i don't now whether to put Turkey in this map. It is big country and geographical is not all in Europe.
Feel free for comment and I will consider any of your advices.

Sorry for bad english.

Nice, finally someone who dares to take on the challenge. Some things, though:

• Moldavija should be Moldova (possibly Republic of ~.)
• Slovenija should be Slovenia.
• Since some countries are already a bonus, their "meta-bonus" should probably be worth zero.
• You're on a slippery slope when you base your bonus values on population sizes.
• Turkey should indeed be included, and perhaps some other countries as well, so you can connect Turkey and Russia.

I advise you ask an experienced map maker to help you. Don't forget to make testing games when you finish it so you don't upload a faulty map...

Would it be possible to have scotland, england, northern irleand, wales all seperate countries with there own bonuses? or they will be territorial bonuses part of the uk?

Also try puting in malta, cyprus and other mediterenean islands, as the could provide stratigical hoping points.

Also will you be including north africa, because i know it isnt technically europe but still it would be an interesting twist...

If you could make a european map equally as great as "east asia" it could be the best map out there :)

Do not worry about the names Domenico, names will be written on the end, I will record all of it in notebook.
Ok for Turkey, i will also included Armenia, Azerbaijan and Georgia.

England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland will be in part UK bonus.
I don't know about Africa, i will consider it.

I once wanted to make this map, I counted all first-level divisions of all european countries and came down to 800 territories. I guess you're doing it one step bigger. Good luck!
PS: Jevropa, is that perhaps a different translation of Europe? I asked Google Translate, but it didn't recognize the word.

Note that you won't be able to rename the map! If you want it to be named "Europe Big" (I think names like that are kind of standard now), you'll have to delete it and recreate the map family (you'll be able to reuse your SVG, of course, but all else will be lost).

Huh? Of course you can! As long as it isn't public you can adjust the name and description at any time you want!

Medieval Serbs used to call Europa "Jevropa", but that term isn't in used for a long time...
Today i was counted 116 Italy territories (for 58 million population) and i have forced to count even the smallest islands, such as Vulcano, Stromboli i sl.

wow those are a lot of (small!) sub-bonuses even now with only so few countries drawn... army counts will rise FAST on this one^^

Yeah, and I presume those bonus values will be changed later...

About naming:
"Slovenija" is the Slovenian word for Slovenia. ("Moldavija" may or may not be Moldavian for Moldova, I'm not sure. "Serbia" is most definitely not Serbian for Serbia, that would be "Srbija".)

@Loki: Do you happen to be from one of the ex-yu countries yourself? ;)

On the one hand, I guess it would be fun to put all names in the local language, but I'm unsure whether it's practical... For one, some countries use multiple languages (Belgium being a famous example, but also Finland and Wales). And that even ignores the countries with multiple alphabets (such as Serbia).

Also, this game (or the Internet, for that matter) is rather international and using the lingua franca (read: English) for everything is practical (with "practical" trumping "fun" in my opinion).

Of course you could include both names, so for example Germany / Deutschland.
As for Belgium, that would mean four names: Belgium / België / Belgique / Belgien.
Although you could use this for any country, I think nobody will mind if we simply name Finland Finland / Suomi and Wales Wales / Cymru.
As for Serbia, I believe the Cyrillic alphabet is most commonly used, which would make it Србија, but since Loki is probably from Serbia he must know more than I.

You could solve the alphabet problem by transliterating the Cyrillic names to Latin, so that would make Serbia's name Serbia / Srbija.
Then again, there are different ways of transliterating other Slavic languages. For example, Україна (Ukraine) is commonly written as Ukrayina, but Ukraïna and Ukrajina are also used.

In short, including native country names would get us into a lot of trouble.

Therefore, English it is.

Two big counties are finished: Spain and Italy

Are you keeping Iceland that small? I think you should divide it at least in these 8 regions:

I know nothing of creating maps but would like to add my general support of this project and I'm looking forward to playing on the finished result. Good luck!

Iceland have population near 300.000. Maybe i will make some exception for Iceland and similar countries...

I don't think that population should be so important in WarLight, but it's your map.

This map is going to be mental.

Good luck with it Sir.
