Change color, names, lay-out, and that just for starters.

Make the colors the same, and less dull, I can see the continents.... or anything, to be honest.

I just read the "where has the ideas thread gone" thread and saw how u have difficulty finding enough countries and continents

Image

from here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Italy see "Administrive divisions" subheading for names and stuff.

I thought u were like a hardcore wikipedia person... obviously not.

p.s. if you cant find enough info on each of the sections, i would suggest u try wikipedia in italian, it should have heaps more. To translate from Italian to english, go here: http://babelfish.altavista.com/ and use the translate web page function.

albania was culturally a part of italy for a long time. i thought i would include the surrounds because i couldn't get enough continents out of italy alone. The map focuses on Italy more than the rest. the wikipedia one is good, but it's very linear.

You could easily make the map work by looking at the currently in development japan map, and using those square thing u had on each of your continents in the wisonsin and south africa map. It seems ur certain ur going to use this one, so good luck.
