Map "Rules"
A few general rules concerning the map as to ensure "success:"
 * 1) Copy the full-size version of the map in png format to avoid pixelation.
 * 2) Make all nations different colors.
 * 3) Try to make a map for each year.
 * 4) Colored circles on nations mean they are a protectorate, client/satellite state, etc. of another nation.
 * 5) Colored diamonds in a nation are foreign, rebel or national government forces in a major civil war.
 * 6) It's not always beneficial to draw border lines willy-nilly; if possible, try to find resources such as this to get inspiration.
