First of all- come up with some map title so your thread has a real name. 'Need help and advice' doesn't identify your map well. Even if it is just something like "An Imagined Land" put something to describe this place.
Secondly- I'm guessing you're using paint? I would try Inkscape of Gimp if you want a good free imaging editing program. More information is located in the map making tools thread. Trying to create a map in paint makes things much harder for you, and your finished product won't look nearly as nice. So I would recommend spending some time fiddling around with the new program to learn how to use it properly. Once you understand things such as layers, textures, opacity, etc. this process will be much easier and the map will look better.
Also, as far as naming goes I would avoid using very similar names. You currently have Sparduse, Spardase and Spardise. That makes things very confusing on the pull down menu, and increases the risk that someone will deploy to the wrong country or mess up in a similar way.
