    Default December 2015 Annual Challenge: The New World

    I started this back in late June, but wanted to get most of the naming done (the longest part in any map, IMO) before I posted anything. Still a lot (a LOT) to go on this, but here's what I got so far.

    This is a fantasy version of an early 19th century colonial new world - the two main powers are the Union (US analog) and New Szanza (Mexico analog), both of which are independent and are rivals, both with each other and with the powers of the Old World. Everyone is intent on exploring the west, especially the region called 'The Territories', thanks to the discovery of gold. The natives, while affected by disease just like in our world, have been able to avoid the very worst of it, thanks to the magic of this world, and are slowly starting to push back, forming proto-states and banding together against the settlers. War is on the horizon, but for now, a man's fortune and future is what he can grab with two hands and hold onto...

    Still to come:

    - The rest of the labeling, cities, and towns (mainly in the south)
    - Railroads
    - Color overlays for the countries
    - A cartouche
    - A fancy schmancy border
    - A sepia parchment overlay for the whole thing.
