Re: BATTLE OF TRAFALGAR (preview)

looks good, but the fact that all both the British and the French brought a ship called the Neptune, and the Spanish brought the Neptuno, which could be confusing, you may have to think about this, but it shouldn't pop up for a fair while yet.

I will draw up a version of it for you if you want

Re: 1984 (George Orwell) Map

I see a couple of things:

1. that Ingsoc graphic looks a lot like the one used in the John Hurt movie. Copyright issues, perhaps? Besides, where are the images for Neo-Bolshevism and Obliteration of Self? :D

Removed in next version. I'll look for something else to put there

Re: 1984 (George Orwell) Map

Look in the 'planned changes section below the map, I'm going to change the arrows, I just forgot to change it in this version. I've added one more territory in Africa, and may add more later. I might make up some more disputed areas later, to reduce the bottlenecking.

Also, I might make an Animal ...

Take a look at my '1984 - George Orwell' map in the Drafting room, as that's a fictional version of the world, something along those lines may escape copyright.

Well, they can't possibly have copyrighted the names of the continents/territories (if so, they can sue the whole damn world, since most of us live there), so, as a very basic start, here you go:

1984 (George Orwell) Map - VACATION PENDING PERMISSION -

I decided that we need a map based on this great book. After much playing around with a base map I found, I decided to start off simple, and just add borders to it, (don't worry, it's public domain, go here for the permissions), and then redo it based on suggestions from the community.
