careful, Indonesia is a tough map...I did a rough copy of it in my spare tme, but playability would be hard on indonesia with the amount of islands.

I attempted it as well but struggled to get something I was happy with. If you make it East Indies I think you can get away with using the Phillippines and the rest of the dead territory in that image, with perhaps the exception of the top of Australia or New Holland as it was in the era of East Indies.

That sems like a good map. Just one thing I'd like to point out is it seems like an old map, an in my research I have found that Irian Jaya (the eastern most point) seems to have been split up in some way. Read the first paragraph of this page for that info
