Oh yes, it is. But you missed at least to live in the European Capital of Culture 2010, hehe
That's what I meant, the map style. That's the interesting part where artistic mastery can be achieved, to quote a former professor. The names are interesting, no doubt, but very subjective- the amount of work you put into a map is not. Did you follow any tutorials or simply start from scratch? And: How many hours did this take?

Well, I hope it deserves the name of European Capital of Culture! From what I heard, it doesn't seem to be the worst place to live in, but I actually like where I am now, Capital of Culture or no
