Request

Hi, would it be possible to create .svg administrative municipal location map of the Czech Republic (similar to this map of Austria: https://en.populationdata.net/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/autriche-administrative-1.jpg also similar to /media/wikipedia/commons/f/fd/Germany_%28%2Bdistricts_%2Bmunicipalities%29_location_map_current.svg) As background map should be used: https://es.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archivo:Czech_Republic_adm_location_map.svg

Havana

Request

The consejo popular (CP) or transalted as "Popular Councils" in english are basically electoral wards of Cuba. Im requesting a CP blank map of Havana, that we can also use as a location map. I would also like one for every province, but its hard to find maps of the CP in rural areas so only Havana will be good. Source - CubanoBoi (talk) 22:49, 4 April 2023 (UTC)

Post-imperial organisations map - Gabon, Togo, Vanuatu, The Gambia and the Maldives

Request

Alright, could someone please make the following changes to the above map:

1) Gabon and Togo joined the Commonwealth of Nations on 25 June 2022, while also retaining their membership of La Francophonie, hence they should be changed to blue-and-red stripes (like Canada, Cameroon and Rwanda) to refect that.

2) Vanuatu has been a member of both the CON and LF since independence, so it should also have blue-and-red stripes.

3) The Gambia and the Maldives rejoined the Commonwealth in 2018 and 2020 respectively, so they should both be changed from white to red.

Thanks. Snow Lion Fenian (talk) 10:32, 23 May 2023 (UTC)

SVG version with broken thumbnail

I made an SVG version that includes all of your changes plus a few more changes for accuracy I noticed while compiling the list of members of each organization. Something's wonky with the striped patterns that's making them disappear from the thumbnail, so I'm not marking this complete yet, as I'll come back later and fix it (may need to just have different colors to show each combination). — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dragon401k (talk • contribs) 18:45, 23 May 2023 (UTC)

@Snow Lion Fenian  Done So it seems like the problem with the first version is that when rendering patterns that are less than 1px wide at a given resolution, librsvg just fails to load the entire pattern. The size of this map versus the size of some of the micronations that need patterned fills means it's not practical to use patterns here. I've gone ahead and combined the colors of each pair of organizations to create a color to denote "both X and Y", but it's tricky to create colors that 1) look nice 2) are colorblind accessible and 3) make intuitive sense with this set of data. Happy to let someone else take a stab at this! I'm not going to add the {{vector version available}} template to the PNG version since I don't think the SVG one is vastly superior.

@Dragon401k: That's fantastic, thank you for doing this so quickly! It's so great to have an SVG version of this map with all the necessary corrections.

Say, I know this wasn't part of my original request, but while we're still here, I can't help but ask if you'd be willing to add the Community of Portuguese Language Countries (which has nine members) to the SVG map, as it seems as though it would fit into the same category as the other international organisations already shown? Or would you rather if I made that as a separate request? Snow Lion Fenian (talk) 23:14, 23 May 2023 (UTC)

Adding CPLC to the map complicates it in a way I think makes it far less readable, adding five new categories to cover just 9 total countries. Here's a preview of a version I mocked up that adds CPLC in black (so combinations are just darkened versions of the other colors). I don't think it makes for a good/useful map.

Just brainstorming here, but one way to get around this would be to outline the countries with the color instead of filling them in, so that you could stack outlines on top of each other to show countries with multiple affiliations. I have no idea how to even begin accomplishing that cleanly-- I messed around in Inkscape for awhile to make this as a proof of concept, but there's loads of issues (see the outlines of the French overseas departments drifting way off course, plus I accomplished this by duplicating each country, which adds a ton of bloat to the file). Maybe someone with a better grasp on SVG editing could figure out a way to accomplish this, or maybe there's another way to display this info more cleanly, but as is that's all I've got.

@Dragon401k: That's okay, I understand your concerns. And don't worry about the issue of the shadings. I'll most likely make another request at some point in the future, to see if anyone can do the things you pointed out. Anyhow, thanks again for creating this great SVG map, I appreciate it greatly.
