I totally agree with ChickPea, the "raised" mountains look way cooler than the flat version. You've definitely got a cool technique going there, and I'd be very much interested in leeching from some sweet inspiration from it!

I will say, though, I'm not too fond of the labeling, specifically the names of the nations. I find the bright white drop-shadowed font somewhat distracting and, to me, it doesn't really blend naturally with the rest of the map. In regards to the rest of the map, it's pretty dang good-looking. The color palette is agreeable and the title scroll and legend are a nice touch, as well.

Great job!
