There are two files there

map.zip that has the map I want people to look at.  Extract the files, double click on index.html, let active X control work and then browse.

It just occured to me...  There are all sorts of places online to get free storage of files.

Mike makes account with freedrive.com (first one that popped up in websearch)
Mike uploads files to freedrive.com
Mike posts links to files...

Let me know if people can see and download the files.

world-map.gif is the raw map file if someone is really brave and wants to make edits.  The map is a hearts of Iron map I found online and have been making changes to.  I am not done so there are all sorts are errors and things need to added like Brandenburg and Moaria.

Excellent...  Now that everyone can see the map.  I will resume working on things.

If anyone wants to nit pick borders, land masses, etc feel free. 

I just want to say that this map is not intended to be a perfect copy of the world.  I wanted something to better show how controls what.  For somethings a higher detail map is really needed.

I have a quip about the MK-RRC border.

I should have the province Sichuan definitely. I might have Qinhai too. It was my understanding that the RRC-Mk split went from the Rivers to the Qinling Mts (which are located above Qinhai and in the middle of Xinjiang). That's it from me.

Yes, please send one this way.

I added Sichuan to RRC.  As to Qinhai looking at a geographic map of China I am not sure how your forces would have been able to establish control there.  The Tibetan Plateau is a massive political and geographic barrier for you.  If you had forces in there to hold it there are only 4 passes that go through the mountain range North to South so it would be easy to hold but getting in there in the first place looks like it would be a bitch.  Your and mods call as to who has it I can make a change easy enough.

Anyone else have any change requests?  I will make a new post when I upload a new version of the map; which I haven't.

I think there is some thing wrong with Australia

The lakes look to be to Far West
And to small they seem to be about 25-30% of the size they should be

The border between firanji and the NS should be reversed in angle running though the lakes

This is all based on the existing maps,which are a bit out of date [1909]
I gather there was a bit of a punch up that may have changed things so this may be incorrect in part any way not the lakes though unless a god turned up recently and tweaked them

then again i could be completly wrong but i dont think so

Bonin and Volcano Islands are marked Iberian but they should be marked as Japanese.

The borders of Parana are IMO incorrect - the North and North-West. But not by much. Don't bother ...

There also is the Tirol business ...
