'''Request:'''
: If possible, please strengthen the contrasts at national borders. Until I viewed the map at 2000px resolution, I thought that San Marino had been omitted, because lower resolutions didn't display (at least that I could see) the border between San Marino and Italy. A change like this would presumably also make it a bit easier to see borders between larger countries. -- [[User:Nyttend|Nyttend]] ([[User talk:Nyttend|talk]]) 13:46, 7 December 2013 (UTC)
'''Graphist opinion(s):'''
:This '''looks''' as if it shouldn't be difficult. But I'm not going to have time to do anything for the next few days. Maybe I'll have a look at it early next week. (This is ''not'' a claim that I'm working on it: I'm not.) [[User:Maproom|Maproom]] ([[User talk:Maproom|talk]]) 23:47, 23 January 2014 (UTC)
::Unlikely to be Tuesday, my schedule has slipped. If anyone else wants to take this on, I shall not be unhappy :-)
:::{{Done}}, but
:::I have not done this well. The borders are now not all equally thick, because I have failed to find how some of them are controlled. Also, ''some'' coastlines are now black and thick, though it would be better if they weren't. I could wish that the svg was more structured, and contained a few comments - I guess Inkscape is responsible. The file is over 10,000 lines long, with no easy way to find which frontier is controlled by which lines of svg. [[User:Maproom|Maproom]] ([[User talk:Maproom|talk]]) 23:05, 29 January 2014 (UTC)

:Now you can look [http://skulpturalasmycken.se/images/wikimedia/Forms_of_government_gj.svg at a draft here]. I used another base map so there might be some small differences. Give me feedback on it, thanks.<br />
:I don't think it's Inkscape fault. When you save as Plain svg this is what happendes. All layers are removed but what was in one layer is grouped together. Sometimes it's better to save it as Inkscape to keep the layers for the next who will work on the file. --[[User:Goran tek-en|Goran tek-en]] ([[User talk:Goran tek-en|talk]]) 16:24, 30 January 2014 (UTC)
::If [[São Tomé]] (the yellow island in the Gulf of Guinea) is meant to be the shape of the island, it is much too big. But it's not a circle. [[User:Maproom|Maproom]] ([[User talk:Maproom|talk]]) 17:04, 30 January 2014 (UTC)
:::I did what the map provided showed, I have no detail knowledge on this. I go by the material I'm provided with. I have made some changes to it and you [http://skulpturalasmycken.se/images/wikimedia/Forms_of_government_gj.svg look at a new draft here], maybe you have to relad the page to get the new image.<br />
:::If you want me to do something else then what the provided image shows you have to tell me in details, thanks. --[[User:Goran tek-en|Goran tek-en]] ([[User talk:Goran tek-en|talk]]) 18:20, 30 January 2014 (UTC)
::::I gave feedback, I didn't mean to imply that the error was your fault. Anyway, it looks good now! [[User:Maproom|Maproom]] ([[User talk:Maproom|talk]]) 20:03, 30 January 2014 (UTC)
