I have noticed that many nations make their maps. What are your techniques for a good map? How do you make it?

I would suggest a paint program such as AppleWorks (what I use). I don't know too much about others, you can buy them in stores. Save it as a .gif or .jpg, upload it to NSwiki or your website, and you have a map. Good luck and have fun.

I recommend AutoREALM. It's a freeware CAD-type app, designed for map making. It's not the easiest thing in the world, but it make gorgeous maps. See http://autorealm.sourceforge.net/index.php for details.

Thank you very much. I have my nation for more than a year and I still didn't do my map... :)

The last program looks great!
