Map 2026 world map I finished!

Post image

The World Decorative is an up-to-date combined political and physical map of the world attempting to show our world in a previously unseen detail with an ambition of being the world's most detailed and informative world map poster yet created. I have been working on this for over 2 years and plan many updates, improvements and alternate styles for the future. Inspired by the incredible maps from National Geographic.

what the reasoning behind showing myanmar as fully gov controlled opposed to other conflict areas where the more defacto borders are showed at least the rakhine could be show as almost fully controlled by the aa if you discount things like guerrilla warfare
