World Maps with Colored Countries[edit]
Sorry to bother you, but I was interested in learning how to create the kinds of maps that you have, such as the one on the Freedom in the World article. I don't know how to use the empty map template and add in different colors to each country, so where should I learn and with what program should I do it?

- Also, I wanted to let you know that the 2021 Freedom in the World rankings listed Jordan and Thailand as "Not Free," but your map shows them as "Partly Free." Bill Williams (talk) 01:13, 15 March 2021 (UTC)
- It's very easy to create a map like mine. I use paint.net to create the map, and you can use paint too if you want. There are tons of tutorials on youtube on creating maps like mine. I made my map based on the previously existing map from 2017, so it was simply a matter of using the fill bucket in my case. If you are planning to map out an uncommon region, you will need to create your own template, which you can easily learn from youtube.
- I'm updating the map now by the way.
- Okay thanks, I'll make sure to check that out. I appreciate the advice. Bill Williams (talk) 05:00, 16 March 2021 (UTC)
