I like this very much Immolate.

I do have a hard time reading the road names and it seems to me the land is in danger of blending into the entire map a bit too much. I can see lines beneath the land in fact. Perhaps it's too close to the color of the ocean? If nobody agrees with me then don't worry about it. I'm just trying to help you nit pick it from a noobs standpoint.

It is definitely a contender and it looks a lot like a game board to me which is for sure a good thing.
