WIP - Earth 2050

[Langy]

I've updated the map a bit, with better colors and the lower portion of Canada. I've also added the transcontinental maglev system; I may alter it to not have the giant curves it currently does (making it a simpler system that'll take more time to travel along, but cost significantly less to build). Not sure.



Anyways, I'm trying to think of ways to pimp the image out while maintaining legibility (one of the few faults I've seen in more artistic map styles). I'm thinking about maybe using a 'satellite'-style view, with countries/etc designated by either subtle shades or boundaries. Not sure. Eventually, I might actually put labels and such directly on the map to create a more artistic version, rather than the current 'utilize the OP pin system' method of labeling, even though OP's system is much more generally useful than labels pushed directly onto the map image.

EDIT: Ignore the other attached pic; accidentally attached the wrong one, and now I can't seem to delete it.
