I had a few goes at spelling Diyarbakir without luck - maybe allow one or two more type-ins?

I can add some, do you have any suggestions for type-ins?

You ever have that feeling... "I wish I had that idea first" Well I've now.

This quiz great!

How did you make the map? I’m assuming that you copy pasted the subdivisions from amcharts, then combined nodes, and drew the dots, but how did you get them to look lik the lambert projection

I superimposed the circle over the map, which was sized appropriately using Google Maps (the circle should have a radius of 750 kilometres, therefore). All subdivision borders end at the circle, giving it the desired projection. Since it's difficult to make the ends of each subdivion into a prefect circle, I have the thick black border overlapping everything.

Oh, then how did you make the paths, did you manually create them?

Yes, manually for each country.

I sometimes use that method also! It is indeed a bit tiring after a while, though.

It can be, but I like the results enough that it's all worth it in the end.

I make a circle using Inkscape and make a specific radius. I give it 75% opacity and overlap it on the JetPunk country map. I trace the countries and add the cities and tada!

That is a good way to do it. You can also modify the countries on the Jetpunk country map so that their borders stop at the circle.

Yeah, but that if you do that the map won't be very high-quality.
