Ok guys, so I need the best modern map that we have floating around. Any time period after WWII will do, since the borders did not change that much and I will be editing them anyways. There is the one that Sheep is using right now which is pretty good, is there anything else?

Ok, while trying to figure out a way to do an industrial NES, I would also like to play around with something else that will at some point soon be turned into a NES. (yes, for the colonization one.) Can someone make a NES which is no bigger than 2000x2000 that is mainly continental, with some islands?

It's old and obsolete. But it's probably the only thing you'll find which can be made ready in a decent amount of time.
This has been undergoing preparation work since December, but don't expect it to have cities or well-differentiated colors anytime soon since Panda has been such a damn lazy jerk
p) with recoloring it. The base map itself is vastly superior (and larger) to the old, grided one. Modern borders (circa 1997) are preserved in this one and not that hard to find (while its ocean and costal colors are better than the older recolor which Icmancin's current NES is using). It'll take some city placement work if you want to use it though.

Something I notice is wrong in both Sheep's and Panda's modern maps is Armenia-Azerbaijan border. Azerbaijan lost its SW corner to Armenia more than 10 years ago.
Panda's map has another mistake, showing Nakhchevan as a separate country whereas it is Azerbaijan territory, and has no claim of independence.

Seriously, it's much more likely to get done if you do it yourself.

I didn't know we could mess with other people's files.
Sure I'll make my own map if I ever mod. (which will not happen for a long time)

Of course we can--the map we now use is pretty much a community effort. People have added rivers, changed island shapes, etc...I didn't know we could mess with other people's files.

Then the only problem is me not knowing how. I suppose you guys use something more decent than Paint.

Quite honestly you couldn't get an area of that size to show up on a regular world map with any significance, as it'd be about one pixel big.

Paint works fine for editing, actually. That's what most of us use. If you want to get fancier, I'd recommend downloading the GIMP.

I wish I had paint. I could be a Mod by now.

So download the GIMP! Or, alternatively, download Paint Shop Pro. There's a link to a free version that doesn't expire in Chieftess's sig.

It is over 50 pixels actually.
Here it is, with the following changes:
1-Karabagh to Armenia
2-Nakhchevan to Azerbaijan
3-South side of Hormuz strait to Oman
4-Montenegro is independent since last year
5-Detailing/correcting of coastlines and islands of Greece, Turkey, Cyprus.
6-Connect Crimea to mainland
And then I tried putting some cities, sized according to GDPs (over 10bn$, over 30bn$, over 100bn$). Capitals are in red, and shown regardless of GDP.

I don't count that map as regular (it is not statistically widely utilized), honestly, but I suppose I was wrong regardless.

I don't know about that, you were the one who posted the link to it above.
Ok, to whoever adapts this map:
