On the topic of the Modern World map on the last thread.

corrections regarding Australia

Broome should not be a city.
Townsville in northern QLD should be a city.
So should Newcastle about 200kms north of Sydney
Capital should be moved about another 150kms inland and put halfway between Sydney and Melbourne (Canberra was built in 1911 halfway between the two cities that held over a million people back then, to end rivlary between the two to who would become the permamnent capital. From 1901 to 1913 Melbourne was the capital, the Old Parliament House was not built until 1926 and the current Pariliment House was openened in 1989.)
 
Obligatory (I think I made some changes myself to this map which I have not shared with the rest of the world yet):

Also, what I have fixed on my maps but have failed to post, the nile delta needs to be shrunk, its way to big.

ANyways, anyone have a blank, large europe map?
 
I tried fixing antarctica once, but it's a real pain to do on Robinson projection.

On Antarticia, I know no one ever really uses it in an NES, but can't it look cool like the rest of the map? (ie: it has fat borders and straight lines.)

One word: Penguins.:D

A few more words: Look at LINES. Antarctica's almost completely settled. I really shouldn't have let him start a magical nation at the south pole.

Sigh. After someone blows up the world, I'm out of magic NES moderating.
 
With more of those corrections, but the main feature of this map is almost all the major cities of the world, ancient and modern, placed at least moderately accurately:

Eh, looks rather crowded. What do you charcterize a major city by? Population? Industry? Commerce? National/Global Influence?
 
Why cant anyone ever put PROPER cities in Australia?
 
Yes and thus I am just one of those annying figments of your imagination that has continued for several years and turned you slightly insane.
 
btw, I think its time to finally remove the "Jason" at the bottom left corner of the maps. Its been many versions since the last time I did a major revision, and its past the time where the torch needs to be passed.
 
I just microwaved instant pancake mix, its nice and fluffy. I am going to go get some jam.
 
NK suggested that "Jason" is replaced with "CFC NESers" (or something like that).
