The borders, some are thinner than others, and they are blocky.
Terrible route lines.
You could change the colour scheme, near continents have alike colours. Those Aleutian islands are an example. Europe and N. Islands too. Anyway, the colours at the legend are pretty different from those on the map.
The green continent is very difficult to understand, I cant see the territories properly. Maybe you can merge some islands.
There is a gray island connected to Jaymyr, whats that?
And sincerely, why a so small map?? Even to the small version, it could be bigger.

Here are the changes I made:
- I got rid of B.C. (it was too small), and added Nenets Island.
- Added Iceland to Scandinavia.
- Changed all Bonuses accordingly
- Change font finally...
- Changed texture.
- Changed colours, so that bordering continents have similar colours.
It looks a bit crowded, I might shrink the font size.
P.S. Rev Kyle, you can borrow the colours on my map for your Antarctica map.

U should have added BC to the NW Territories because right now N America is very very linear. i also think N America is worth too much, 4 men for a 5 country continent with 2 borders? Africa in the classic has 6 countries, 3 borders and only 3 reinforcements.

The font is now readable, but a simple and sad one. Of course, you can find a more beautiful one, and maybe having a bigger size, and changing borders colours from black to gray (for example) can help you.
The texture is even more heavy, maybe you can try something soft.
You still can think about positioning routes and names better. For example, there are routes in strange places, like Chutkotka to Alaska and Victoria to Nunavut. Using a better colour they will be visible, so no need to strange locations. See Madagan name... terrible, Moscow too. The bigger size will help a lot.
And exchange pink and one green continent would be good. The idea is, neighbour continents shouldnt have alike colours.
