Looks nice, but I have two suggestions:

1) Continue borders until they hit the map's edge, even for nations not "in" the game. The original does this too, and ti just looks unnatural the way it is now. Perhaps using a less bright color for those borders differentiates them well from the nations that are playable territotries.

2) Use a darker color for the seas. I think this will make the map much easier to "read", right now my eyes have trouble fixing on land vs water.
