Find me a world map

    $10.00 for whoever can find me the best world map. Submissions must meet the following guidelines. I'll be the final judge of what constitutes a good map or not.

    1. I'm looking for a blank world map.
    2. It should have borders for all countries but no country names.
    3. It should be plain white with black borders if possible. (or fairly easily modified in photoshop)
    4. You must let me know the source of the map if possible and I should be able to modify it and use it for my own purposes.
    5. In my opinion, It should be better than this map: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/c/c3/BlankMap-World.png
    6. A clear sharp map with thin borders is better than one that uses anti-aliasing. Hi-res is better than low res.
    7. It should be free to use (or at least fairly inexpensive to purchase)

    Thanks

    Thanks for the submissions so far. So far nothing better than the map in my original post.

    Although the last one is getting closer. It needs to be black and white, and is missing the great lakes in North America and some other inland lakes.

    Getting there but the borders are a bit thick and smudgy. I'll be colour coding each country with a different colour. Therefore, anti-aliased borders will make this harder to do and also look horrible.

    No, it's not too late. I'm still looking...

    Vector format is even better!
