    I like it, especially the contouring and the names of the Alliances. Choice of colour made it easy to read but I assume you intend to colour each zone according to the scale on the right hand side ?

    Just a couple of queries
    The map has been stretched east west. Not a problem until you come to Australia and Africa which both will be reduced in size compared to true size
    Just checking that 50000AE is a new dating system ie we are talking about 36500 years into the future?
    Best wishes

    @Voolf Thanks! I'm hoping to make more of these sometime in the future.

    @The_Sleeping_Dragon I understand the limitations of the equirectangular projection, however I think it's easy to work with both when actually mapping and when using it in, say, 3D modelling/textures. IT comes at the cost of distortion but most of these are real-world places that many are already familiar with. As for the years, it's an adaptation of the Anthropocene/Holocene calendar: 0E 000 is the year Terrans developed agriculture; The current year is 12E 017, and the current in-universe year is 12E 717. AAE stands for Ante-Anthropocene Era, i.e. before 0E 000, i.e. before the development of agriculture.
