Seeing as there weren't any standard sized maps of Earth released by this community up till now, I've taken some time away from my medical studies to produce an update of Zach Wilson's version released with the game.
Considerably updated, in fact, as all continents have been totally reworked. Key emphasis here is on recognisability. I didn't use a painstakingly accurate grid by grid analysis of a mercator projection map, but instead all proportions and land elevations were determined "by eye" (finally! Some constructive output to 2 years studying A level art). Moreover, I used Satya's world map v4.0 to determine the distribution of major natural resources. Check it out, I think you might like the results.
