Map of the Fortnight: Main Discussion Thread

It's hard to even consider entering when Kutku comes in with another masterpiece. Too hard to pretend I can map when alongside him.
No lie, it is a really dope map, but there's now another week, and there are a lot of different ways to cook up a good map with a banging writeup. Sometimes the concept itself can attract a lot of attention. Join, it'll be fun!
 
i'd love to post something, but the first map I made is really bad (not really original, neither good looking), and my keyboard refuses to enact any "shift", which makes the whole map making a nightmare, too bad

That does seem like a significant obstacle... :(

Alright, you got me. Question; Are we allowed to show multiple states with client states? For example, a cold war map?

Sure!
 
Abandon The Big Ben
Make a map of the spacious and permanent relocation of a national capital.

Backstop? What Backstop? (aka Greener Pastures II, a re-run of MotF 98)

Make a map showing a legal discrepancy between countries that prompts related border traffic.

The Boy Who Lived
Make a map of a country with its former political system surviving to the present day.

I Love You, You Pay My Rent

Make a map of a fiscal redistribution scheme.

Making The Best Of An Awkward Situation
Make a map of a place, project or other endeavor that has been abandoned by the group that started it.

Our Father's Father Says That Things Were Better Then
Make a map depicting an attempted or successful socio-economic or socio-cultural political backlash. (Wahhabi-influenced Political Islam? Chavista Venezuela? Western World Alt-Right? You name it!)

Once again, I'd like to propose my old proposals once again.
 
@Reagent - planning to post it sometime this evening, approximately 8 hours from the time of this post. Think you can make it?

I'll try to finish it by then. If you could @ me like half an hour before you post, I'd appreciate that (if its possible).

EDIT: Inkscape is being difficult - this concept will have to wait for a different time.

A Marriage of Convenience:
Make a map of a military alliance between countries that distrust or actively dislike each other

So far from the Sea:
Depict a doubly (or higher) landlocked nation
 
Did we ever do that one where we take ideas from other contests as inspiration to make maps? It might have also involved setting maps in the same universes as previous entries - I'm not sure.
