Realms of the 37th Degree

I really like that style!

So I started playing a game of CIV, and after I got my hind end handed to me by the Aztecs and the Egyptians, I noticed that the map had a neat layout to it. So, I took it, and tinkered with it in photoshop for a couple hours, and this is where we are at. Eventually I am going to try and finish the river and route maps, but so far I have major cities (dots and stars), rivers (heavy black lines) and some of the key routes drawn in (brown lines).

The terrain is more or less self explanatory by the color.

Thoughts? Any ideas as to place names or polities?

I know the bottom right polity with the roads and such will be Russian-esque, you know, considering I was playing a Russian civ in that area ... yeah.

Oh, and the white lines are political boundaries. Which I guess means they are advanced enough in mapping skills to be able to make definitive borders.
