The factual accuracy of this map or the file name is disputed. Reason: Same set of problems as File:World98+.svg. Also, extra lines in Nevada, New York, Pennsylvania, and possibly other locations.

NOTE!

This file is HUGE. It cannot open in inkscape with 2GB of memory, or probably with 4GB either (however, gimp or a similar program should be able to generate a thumbnail without keeping the whole image in core). In other words, you will most likely be unable to open this on a 32-bit computer. It is only intended for use by other wiki map geeks to generate smaller SVG maps of countries and regions. Also note that, whenever possible it is better to use one of the continental maps that came from the same source, as they are more usable (won't eat all your system memory) and more precise (16 digits instead of 12):

• Image:asia98.svg
• Image:europe98.svg
• Image:south_america98.svg
• Image:oceania98.svg
• Image:north_america98.svg

TODO

• Find the right projection for and generate an antarctica98.svg
• Some submaps that don't follow continental boundaries might be handy, e.g. carribean98.svg, middle_east98.svg, mediterranean98.svg, se_asia_and_australia98.svg, etc.
• Fix blips in USA (Utah, PA, Michigan, etc.), west Antarctica. change background color so these blips are more obvious and thus easier to fix.
• Also group properly. IE: There shouldn't be >50 seperate USA groups for each state/territory, instead they should be nested together in a common USA group.
• Make copies of this map with country borders shown in darker lines.
• The territory of Nunavut was formed in 1999, giving Canada three territories in the north - not the 2 displayed here.
