Three ways:

1. Take a real world map (or part of a real world map) and use something like MS paint to draw lines around where you want your border to be.

2. Get a fancier program like photoshop and draw your own landmass. You can try this in MS paint, but it won't look good (at least it didn't look good when I tried it haha).

3. Kindly ask someone to make a map for you. Don't ask me, I'm not good at it.

You, er, didn't ask for one to be made. But I could make one, if you describe what you want and give me some city names.

ta m8, well i would like:

Okay datium ia an island so,

A big Mainland, about the size of England (where i live) which is about 6000 sq mi, i would like a smaller island about 1/5 of that size on the North-West coast and several small islands on the Sout coast...

In the Centre of the mainland i would like an alpine-like terrain you know some mountains called "The Gruhalds" and on the East coast i would like the Capital "Jevkay", on the most north-westerly island i want a city called "Portvay", on one of the small islands i would like a city called "Revyal Port" and on the mainland if you could scatter these other cities everywhere;
Kreshel,
Coshastati and
Regalton

And if you can in the middle of te Mountain range could you put "DASP Shuttle Launch"

thanks and, is there anything you want for this?

Okay, I can make a political map for you - but I can't make a map with geographical features. Is that still alright?
