Sorry for double post
'Labrador and Newfoundland' should be 'Newfoundland and Labrador'

I did another 64 territories since I've came back. 725 now, and I will reach at least 900 before finishing Africa - maybe even 1000 but I doubt it since there are almost no islands left and the territories will be bigger in Congo and Sahara...

It looks like the map may reach even 2500 territories.

A bit of hard work and Africa is finished. 936 territories right now on the map.

I think that's supposed to be Tanga, Manyara & Kilimanjaro in Northern Tanzania, you have Kilimankaro

I'd like to see some detail on India, it deserves some attention

it is cut near Mexico's coast (which allowed me also to make the map bigger)

I don't see how moving one piece of the map to an other place can allow you to make it bigger. Cutting a rectangle in two squares and switching them doesn't change the dimensions of the whole shape.
And cutting off at Mexico means Alaska will be at the east side as well, won't it? Americans will really hate you for this map, first stretching out the US and then taking it apart :P
(just kidding)

@Moros

This map has width-to-height ratio 1:2, while the limit of the map size is about 2:3. Which means that cutting off part of pacific ocean will allow to make the map bigger.

Also look where the Hawaii lies, and note that most of the oceania lies west from it.

And Alaska will be all right, the dimensions are curved in the corners so even though Alaska lies west from Mexico, it also lies right from it. Just look at the map you've posted here.

Oh, I misunderstood. So you plan to completely delete Oceania, not just move it?

Nope. But there is string of water east from the Oceania that can be deleted. And Oceania can be a bit shrinked since the territories will be circular.

I'm not sure I understand you fully, but I think I will when the map is finished.
And I wish you good luck on finding divisions for Russia!

1200 territories now!

And maybe Americans won't like this map, but Germans for sure will do - I've given them some islands: Wolin, polish part of Usedom, danish Wadden Islands and netherlands Wadden Islands :)

When you do Oceania, are you going to put a bulb for each atoll/island, or are you going to just do one or two for the whole group(ex: one bulb for the Phoenix Islands, two for the Line Islands, etc.)?

Really nice map, loads of people are creating massive maps these days :D
btw, it would be better to call the "northern lands" in spain the Basque Country

@i-like-swords - it depends. I usually give 1 territory for a group of islands (so a few for an arhipelago). Check Azores, Maldives, Canary or Capo Verde.

@*hedja* - no, it wouldn't be better as that territory consist of 5 spanish autonomous communities, so why should I act as one of them were more important than the others?

It has 3 communities in 1 area, so it would be a better representative, but i see what you mean.

It appears that you're not adding the European microstates(Vatican, Luxembourg, Liechtenstein, Monaco, and San Marino). Oh well.

I'm sorry but that's impossible. Even "normal" small european states will be hard to make fit 2-digit army number.

My my. You weren't kidding about the distortion in the Russian Far East! Anyway, I think you might to replace Cebu and Bohol with a bulb(unfortunately) since they look way too small to accommodate an army. Perhaps Leyte too; otherwise, it can be fused with Samar. Also, can you please put a bulb where Singapore would be? It's a fairly important country, although I do understand that its addition would uglify the map a bit...

I was trying, but there is no place for singapore sadly. And I'm leaving small territories for now, after finishing the map I'll make them bigger - I'll merge them with the smallest possible territory that can fit two-digit number. But I'll be doing that after the map is finished, at the same time that testing game will take place, not to waste time.

And this way map will be available for playing sooner :)

1500 territories :)
