Gradient Overlay is a Layer Style in PS - there is a plug-in that approximates some of these functions available for GIMP.
Okay, here's where I'm stuck... I'm on step 12 where you create a new layer filled with white and set the Ocean layer to gradient overlay. I'm unable to find a tool in gimp for gradient overlay. There's an overlay command, but it causes the tips of the rivers I drew to be shown. Any help will be repaid with eternal gratitude... and a mars bar. :-)

Hey, I keep running in to a problem at this point. When I add the inner glow, it will only show up on the parts of the country that are on the shore. It won't show up on any part of the country's border that is touching another country.
All these layers are above the land, so it's not that problem, and I'm at my ends. Anyone have any idea why this is happening?

Well I'm at a loss to figure that out. Can you show me a shot of the layers there that are hidden in the countries folder?

Let me make more countries on it and then I will post that screenie for you.

I think we sorted the problem, the noise layer got moved above the country layers at some point. Moving that underneath solved the issue.
yay detectivework!

This is my issue. Same thing, but the noise file is still under the country layers. Any ideas?
It looks like you have a paper texture layer above the countries layers, could you show me the full screenshot showing the layer stack?
