Inkscape is a free vectore program. It's not that easy to use, and it's still beta software, but it's good for this type of work. Bitmap programs like GIMP & Photoshop are not really that great for this kin do fwork, particularly for beginners.

Xara is like Inkscape but commercial (it's cheap though) Free for Macs & Linux.

Also, Fireworks is great but also commercial (though it's very cheap for students)

Young Kingdoms? Young Kingdoms from where? What are these kindgoms? Names?

Please, stop adding those little graphics for now, you will probably waste your time, since you will later add more interesting graphics, I imagine. Lets now work with a skeletal map, only with borders, colours and no textures. Im tired now but soon I will comment the playability, ok?

why did you get rid of the one bordered ten country continent. I really want to see how that would work in real life. Maybe there should be a "lab" room in CC where you can test out concepts like that. Ill go post it in the suggestions forum.

I'd love to make a version of this map & am about 2/3 of the way through with a first draft.

I've been googling around haven't found anything like that, do you have a citation?
