The VT-BAM project

So, I updated the map to include as much of the finished sections I could find since it was last officially updated which was apparently late September 2019. There are a few things I want to mention, please do not save your sections in JPEG, I have to spend a few hours cleaning up all of the stray and distorted pixel of colors, and when making sections, don't remove the pale pink color for cities.
By the way, keep the lines' colors in regular fashion, for example, someone used pitch black for national borders in South America when that color is used for the borders of lakes, major rivers, and the sea. I didn't even fix that issue as I was getting an headache from having to fix stray color pixels for a few hours and I would need to manual click every pixel to change the color and make sure I didn't miss click and colored in the proper use of the color.
The link includes the Photoshop file for the entire map as well as four images; two halves which contain cities and ice and the other pair does not.

I believe Azad Kashmir and Gilgit-Baltistan would do well with subdivisions

I would add to that: West Bank enclaves Vs Jewish settlements/ essentially areas A and B Vs area C

I'd like to start helping with the VT-BAM in a more concrete way, but I have to ask, how are you all making this stuff? I have a raster editing software and QGIS, is that enough for me to be able to help out?
 
No I wonder whether it would not have been better for the US to depict county subdivision, rather than cities: the areas depicted are larger, more clickalbe, while rather often in the west of the USA you get large tracts of land which are unincorporated into any city.

Similarly, in New England, the county subdivisions were depeicted.
