I haven't read any of the older replies yet, so I don't know if a discussion has been had about that one line. If so, I guess a consensus has been reached, and I won't argue for changing it (unless I've completely misunderstood that line, in which case I would ask for a change, because I can't think of anything other meaning for it relative to CC). I'm just pointing out that this initial uncertainty might exist for other players as well.
I really like the font and the style of the map. However, The emblem at top centre looks extremely pixelated compared to the smoothness of the rest of the map. The relatively thin lines in the emblem are probably what causes the aliasing to be so noticeable.
Also, I'm about 99% certain that it's "Jilin" and not "Jiling" (top right).

Sorry, I'll try to word it better:
First of all, I want to make sure that I am correct in interpreting "2 = OOO" to mean I get 2 armies for holding those 3 territories?
The legend is set up as a list of "# Region" lines (i.e. 2 Beijing). The last line, however, uses a different style, by adding that equals sign. Mentally, a reader always automatically forms a set of expectations. In this case, he would expect that any line which looked like "# Region" indicates an army bonus. At the same time, he would expect that anything in a different format to mean something different.
Basically, I'm saying that it is not immediately clear that "2 = OOO" means the same thing as "2 Beijing" in the legend. The rest of it is just an explanation of why.

Fair enough. What if you perhaps took the title out of the flag and put it above the coat of arms which you could move down a little?

draw an imaginary vertical line in the middle of the map. on the left you get ~5 territories and on the right you get 23. it's not anybody's fault this is china's geography but i have a problem with this.
