Map usage rules
 A few general rules concerning the map as to ensure "image success:" 

General

 * 1) Try to make one for each turn (in most games this is every half-year).
 * 2) Coloured circles on nations mean they are a protectorate, client/satellite state, etc. of another nation.Trish pt7 (talk) 20:55, May 7, 2016 (UTC)

Blank map sources

 * 1) It's not always beneficial to draw border lines willy-nilly; if possible, try to find resources such as on Wikipedia to get inspiration. Trish pt7 (talk) 20:27, May 7, 2016 (UTC)

Editing
Use Microsoft Paint. Trish pt7 (talk) 20:27, May 7, 2016 (UTC)

Bit rate stuff

 * 1) Always copy the full-size version of the map to avoid pixelation.
 * 2) Make all nations different colours.
 * 3) Use PNG format to accelerate the bit rate to avoid pixelation.
