Regarding Provinces

Hello Orderlings,

Now, first of all I'd like to thank our wonderful cartographer, Achkaerin, who produces edited copies of our maps totally in his own time and without compensation. Not that we have the funds to give him compensation but...y'know.

Despite Ach's wonderful skills, there remains a slight...issue with how areas are depicted on the map.

Unfortunately, the inclusion of province names makes the map look a bit...cramped, to say the least. You need only look at Great Jonathania, Seaforth of New Techland to see why. Ultimately the inclusion of each province name, while working fine for large, spacious countries, does not work in the cramped areas. Take a look at Dartfordia, East Moreland or Dominiscius, the maps are a lot cleaner and the province boundaries more easily, all because the province names are vacant. There are also a lot of places we'd like to mark on the map, such as QAMB, which are currently unable to due to congestion.

Thus, Beatrice, Ach and myself have agreed that any future map update will no longer include province names, regardless of territory size. If you need to remember which province is which, remember that all previous maps are linked below the blank map.

Happy roleplaying!
