[edit] NOTE!
This file is HUGE. It cannot open in inkscape with 2GB of memory, or probably with 4GB either (however, gimp or a similar program should be able to generate a thumbnail without keeping the whole image in core). In other words, you will most likely be unable to open this on a 32-bit computer. It is only intended for use by other wiki map geeks to generate smaller SVG maps of countries and regions. Also note that, whenever possible it is better to use one of the continental maps that came from the same source, as they are more usable (won't eat all your system memory) and more precise (16 digits instead of 12):

- Image:asia98.svg

- Image:south_america98.svg

[edit] Summary
| Description | 1998 World map with first level administrative units. |
| Date | 20 October 2007 |
| Source | world98.shp from the US CDC [1] |
| Author | Translated to SVG by User:Brianski |
[edit] TODO
- Find the right projection for and generate an antarctica98.svg
- Some submaps that don't follow continental boundaries might be handy, e.g. carribean98.svg, middle_east98.svg, mediterranean98.svg, se_asia_and_australia98.svg, etc.
- Fix blips in USA (Utah, PA, etc.), west Antarctica. change background color so these blips are more obvious and thus easier to fix.
- Also group properly. IE: There shouldn't be >50 seperate USA groups for each state/territory, instead they should be nested together in a common USA group.
- Make copies of this map with country borders shown in darker lines.
