Map of the Fortnight: Topic thread

[Scarecrow]

As discussed here the map contests of old will be reborn as the Map of the Fortnight challenges. In this thread please post your ideas for map challenges. The evening before the challenge I will randomly select an idea from the previous batch.

Each round will last two weeks, followed by one week of public voting. No knockout rounds, nothing special, challenge after challenge.

The challenges don't have to be alternate history, they can be future history, ASB, fantasy.

I will allow discussion in this thread, since there is no reason not to, however when posting a challenge could you please do so in Bold so that it stands out when I do the collating.

The first challenge will begin at midnight GMT in one week, the 28th of July.

These rules are still flexible so if you have any queries please voice them.
