Whenever I can figure out how to deal with this mess
I'll try to get the parts that aren't under there done over the weekend.

So M-BAM is not even finished and we are just gonna keep making half finished projects? Alright.

Seriously we need good mappers working on the MBAM instead of everyone working on making even more base maps, some of which come to think of it are just impractical...
The 8K-BAM fills a niche that the M-BAM doesn't; it's an equirectangular map, which makes it easier to edit and draw on.

Yeah but like.....MBAM is already near finished and here we are starting a brand new map scheme.

The 8K-BAM being an equitangular GIS-based map makes it rather useful compared to the M-BAM as it means I can georeference it in a GIS program and drop other shapefiles on it, like those I have for terrain, roads, cities, past US counties, etc. From what I have gathered, the M-BAM, like Q-BAM before it, is not an actual correct projection but its own thing entirely, making it more difficult to do the same and not equitangular as well, while the VT-BAM is just way too large to use on a worlwide level. While a personal taste of course I quite like the 8K-BAM for these features.

Honestly, I'm not sure why equirectangular maps aren't used more on this site. I for one never feel really confident drawing straight lines on the WorldA unless they're perfectly horizontal, and in general equirectangular maps are so much easier to use based on latitude and longitude.

Hey @Klime, do you have a 8K-BAM that only shows the geography borders (NO country divisions, administrative divisions, etc.)? Thank you if yes!
Do you mean a blank map (no borders) or something else? I'll upload a blank map shortly.
I've encountered a number of different definitions for that term, do you mean only national borders, national borders + federation internal borders or something else entirely (do you have an example you can show me?). I can do any of those things fairly easily but I need to know what exactly you want before I can.
Hold on, I found what I need. But thank you anyway, sorry for the trouble
May we see it?
