Land Selection in Gimp

[lokiie1984]

I'm having an issue with gimp where i want to select my land but all its selecting is the outline (all i have on the screen is an outline) and I'm not sure how to fix it. I seem to recall having this problem before but i cant remember what i had to do to fix it then either.

Edit - still cant get the color selection tool to do the job but i got around it by using the fuzzy. Mods feel free to delete this post.

Color selection selects everything that's the same color as what's under the pointer. If your just have an unfilled outline, the interior and exterior spaces of your continent are likely the same color. Working as intended.
