[GOVT] For the first time ever: a high quality Talossan map! (and how to print)

For the First Time Ever: a High Quality Talossan Map

We would like to announce that a high-quality, beautiful map of the Kingdom of Talossa is now available for the first time!  Crafted in the classic style of National Geographic, this stylish map makes a great conversation piece for your wall.  It's designed to be printed at 2x3 feet, which makes it big enough to show fine details... but not so big that it's impossible to put up on your wall!

Access it here.

The map shows all eight provinces and sixteen cantons, with a gazetteer of land areas, an inset of Cézembre and its Line of Death, notes on historic places, and shaded relief of the lakeshore bluffs and river valley. The boundaries are drawn from El Lexhatx, Title K, and checked against the US census tracts and the 1994 National Atlas. Many thanks to everyone who caught errors and offered corrections along the way.

How to get the wall map printed

Pick a size. All of these use the same file, Talossa24x36.pdf:

• 24 × 36 in: print at 100%
• 36 × 54 in: print at 150%
• 48 × 72 in: print at 200%

If you try to print it any smaller than 18 × 27 in, the text will be too small to read.

To order a print, contact a local print shop and request for them to print it at that percentage.

Send the PDF to the print shop and say: "Please print this at 100%/150%/200%] on [24×36"/36×54"/48×72"] inch paper."  They shouldn't scale it to fit or add margins.  Ask for matte or satin poster paper; glossy paper probably will be too shiny.

Other versions of the map and the source data are in the folder here. If you spot an error, or have any questions, please let me know.

The map is copyrighted to the Kingdom of Talossa. You may print it for yourself, but you aren't authorized to sell copies.

I've shared a link to the map in a community Discord server for micronations, and the responses are altogether positive:

beautiful

Woah, that's good

This is a gem
Great stuff
They (me) are calling it the best map of a micronation [...]
