;Request:

: Mexican states have different laws and so are colored differently. The current hand-drawn borders are rather crude. Would it be possible to copy over the borders from another map? They don't need to be precise (they could and probably should be reduced to the resolution of the other borders on this map), but it would be nice if they were more accurate -- some of the states are barely recognizable. I tried doing this myself, but without knowing enough about map projections to calculate the proper center of rotation, it was rather hopeless. (Unlike the Indian reservations in the US, where I didn't need to worry about matching up with coastlines and could just skew to the local longitude line.)

: BTW, the unused states have been moved west off the edge of the map for future use as local laws change. But I suspect it would be best if we left them in place but set the opacity of the borders and fill of the unused states to zero, so the map could be updated with a text editor rather than using Inkscape. (Though I don't know about turning the pop-up labels off and back on. We don't need a pop-up label for a state there's no law for. Hovering over it should just produce 'Mexico' from the territory underneath. Is there a simple way to handle that in the code, like commenting it out? Or will tags automatically fail to display if a territory is made invisible?)

: The dots can be ignored for this request. They're for individual cities.

: If somewhere there is a version of the original map this was based on that has subnational boundaries, I could copy them over myself. -- — [[User:Kwamikagami|kwami]] ([[User talk:Kwamikagami|talk]]) 22:55, 6 March 2019 (UTC)
