The Q-BAM Improvement and Core Thread

Could anyone add like counties in Brazil. I really need someone to do that for me since I want to use that for a map on NationStates.

Assuming you mean the muncipalities, you do realise there are 5570 of them, and even the smallest state (excluding the Federal District) has 75? They're far too small to show up on this scale. Your best bet is to use this map.
 
...

Look i am sorry if i am a bit to direct with this but don't you guys think we are becoming a little bit to precise with this current Q-Bam?

What i want to say is that mayby we should fix the Historical Bams now the current Q-bam becomes my way to confusing this way...

to lead by example i will start a H-Bam of 814 AD on July 3th rightaway!
 
So, I spent a couple days and tried to work out as many major and minor watersheds as I could on the Q-Bam, I don't have any fancy geographic software, so I was just going off of county lines and making guesses. Feel free to update where you see fit.

EDIT: I should add...

The red lines are major boundaries, and the pink lines are minor boundaries. It's pretty arbitrary, especially along the coasts, in California, and the Gulf States.

Based on the PSD file profided by Zanzibar, I've partially resurected some old layer from one of my project. It's far from beeing perfect but I'm not a "Qbamer".
You can download it here: http://sta.sh/026r6a2kgdsk
It include additional layers:
-EEZ (buggy and probably full of error)
-Sea rising (quite the same as above)
-Antartica "borders"

Hope it could be usefull or improved by someone more skilled than me.

btw. i seem to have a problem with some inner borders, since they are not consistent on many maps, like the status of us states, or soviet or british crown countries
for example i prefer rcs 97 97 97 rather than rcs 170 172 170
 
as promised the Historical Bam map of the year 814

There's too many approximations and mistakes. When I had to make it myself on worlda, I had a rather different take even if some choices can be obviously debated.

For exemple, Avars shouldn't show on a 814 map, Sindh should be treated apart, Arabo-Andalusian march were more reduced (and Banu Qasi shouldn't even show up), Norway wasn't unified nor was Danemark... (I suspect you used the old 814 map and worldhistorymapsl. These things keeps popping up in spite of their deep innacuracy)

Mind if I redo the map? I may need the rivers basemap, tough. What's the most recent basemap?

If you want I can try to adapt the Ancient and Medieval worlda map that use ARCS.(I had to correct Central Asia on the worlda map as well, actually)
