You could just start with a [[Map|map]] in SVG format. These can be most easily found on [[commons:|Wikimedia Commons]] or a Wikipedia in your language. | You could just start with a [[Map|map]] in SVG format.

Various raster (ie., not SVG) maps are viable for conversion to SVG format - two most used tools for this are potrace (bundled with Inkscape, available as Path -> Trace Bitmap.. command) and AutoTrace (available for online use [http://www.roitsystems.com/eido/index.pl here]). The clearer the map, the better results you can get - single-color borders on single-color background, or differently colored territories, work best. | Various raster (ie., not SVG) maps are viable for conversion to SVG format - two most used tools for this are potrace (bundled with Inkscape, available as Path -> Trace Bitmap.. command) and AutoTrace (available for online use [http://www.roitsystems.com/eido/index.pl here]).
