just a few small additions:

the island at the mouth of the st lawrence river is Anticosti Island and belongs to New Francy. There should also be a small speck of pale blue near what *here* is cape breton to represent the Magdalen Islands (also New Francy). Finaly, just south of mueva sepharad, there should be a dark blue speck to represent St-Piere-et-Miquelon (France).

One question: there are a few islands east of Papua that are coloured the same as Australasia, what are they ?

Corrected the areas surrounding the New Francy. I am not sure if anything was decided about St. Pierre and Miquelon but if not then it can be considered a part of France based on QAA. Regarding the islands, in the real world those are Solomon Islands and Bismarck Archipelago; I previously mistakenly thought that in IB Solomon Islands are Salomon Islands and thus mistakenly made them a part of FK but now I have noticed that in the real world there are also Salomon Islands and so IB's Salomon Islands are there, therefore I relocated them. As for Solomon Islands and the Bismarck Archipelago being part of Australasia (either part of Kingsland or a separate province) that was my proposal, well explained in Talk:World map, as it seems no one ever mentioned this area previously in any discussions.

Speaking as an authority on France, St P and M is French. BoArthur 11:29, 12 July 2006 (PDT)

So, *there* Salomon Islands are *here* BIOT or perhaps the Cocos (Keeling) Islands, right? --Pedromoderno 16:43, 12 July 2006 (PDT)

No. The Salomon Islands also exist *here*. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salomon_Islands . This is not the same as the Solomon Islands. Abdul-aziz 16:49, 12 July 2006 (PDT)

How about that! This was a real surprise for me, I haven't any idea the Salomon Islands really exist! --Pedromoderno 17:14, 12 July 2006 (PDT)

Nor did I and thus the islands appeared in place of the Solomon Islands in the previous versions of the map. But one day I saw Salomon Islands marked on the world map that hangs on wall in the flat where I spend holidays at and thus I corrected it once I came back :) . Abdul-aziz 01:57, 13 July 2006 (PDT)

the Salomon islands might not be part of australasia but be a separate part of the commonwealth or something different althogether. probably better to leave it grey for the time being. --Marc Pasquin 07:30, 14 July 2006 (PDT)

New Dalmatia is non-independent country with its foreign relations and military managed by Dalamatia, therefore I marked it as such. Abdul-aziz 03:12, 10 September 2006 (PDT)

Where is New Dalmatia? I can't find it on the map. Seth 5:58, 10 Sept. 2006

It is marked now, I have incidently removed it previously. Abdul-aziz 12:34, 10 September 2006 (PDT)

The grid near French Guinea was removed in the newest version. The text should be written on top of the grid using the option (on MS Paint) which does not make the background of the text white but rather keeps the existing background. At least in all other places of the map the text is written that way so the consitiency should remain IMO. Abdul-aziz 11:19, 23 December 2007 (PST)

So sorry! I removed part of the grid so that I could put the words closer to the actual territory, but methinks I did erase too much. I'll fix it soon. Benkarnell 15:41, 27 December 2007 (PST)

Ok. In general however the words may be written over the grid without removing anything with grid going in spaces between different lines or different words (see Turks and Caicos for example). Or otherwise a black line may be used to indicate which territory the words describe (Armorica near England for example). In this partuicular case it would be the easiest perhaps to write words "French Guinea" in a single line rather than two lines and put it just above the horizontal line (parallel).
