February '09 Challenge: A Political Map

[RobA]

*** February '09 Challenge ***

A Political Map.

This month's idea comes from the challenge suggestion forum, compliments of joão paulo.

We are looking for a socio-political map. The style, era and scale are your choice. It can come from the real world, a fantasy world or a future world.

A focus of this map MUST be political identifiers.... Flags, crests, banners or coats of arms must appear prominently on the work.

Entries should be in by no later than Feb 24th 2008. Remember, February is a short month!

Good Luck!!!

As always, don't forget to review the General Challenge Rules.

Ooo this sounds like fun. I might give it a try.

[Hoel]

I'll do it. Had planned something of the sort for my campaign anyway

[Jkaen]

Hmm, this sounds like exactly what I need to do next for my landmass I am trying to work out, time to get access to my desktop again i think!

[Bohunk]

Everytime I think I am going to take a month off, you guys pull me back in!

[Talroth]

Hummm, interesting. And I just got my tablet back from a friend I had loaned it to for a few days,... a year ago.

If I have time to enter this month, I have an idea I might try out.

Create a Japan based map, using my Ukiyo-e map objects then go socio-political between individual daimyo family controlled provinces, then doing colored borders with overlapping edges for different political entities... as I said, Daimyo controlled provinces, shinto religious strongholds, buddhist strongholds and areas of control. The Shogunate dominated areas vs. areas of opposition to the Shogun. Instead of flags or crests I would use those Japanese "crests" or family symbols.

This could be interesting. Now if I can squeeze my Profantasy commission around this challenge!

Sounds like a neat idea GP, hope you can fit it in... I have an idea for my entry already, just not sure if it'll work.

Well, I'm not going to be able to enter this month, but the reason is a good one, I'm off to Egypt for a week

Anyway I look forward to seeing the entries on my return.
