Well thanks.

In fact i don't really know what should be improved, but when i look at it feels like something should be different. I'm not really fond of the meridians especially in the arctic. Borders don't look that great either and territory names could perhaps be aligned differently. Also i find the colour set a bit sad as well as the texture. Perhaps the sea should be blue-ish with a nice texture.
I was looking at making a map which looks like it's hand made, the game is supposed to be in an antique setting.
One map that inspired me was this one. But it's too dull and bad quality to be used.
I can see some more examples online which look nice:
