See if you can possible switch out those lines with something else. The connecting lines look a bit messy if you ask me.

- If so, Africa to +5, Euro-union to +5, Russasia to +4 or +5, United Southam to +4 or +5
- If not, Africa to +4 or +5, Euro-union to +4 or +5, Russasia to +4, Canamerico to +7, United Southam to +4
[*]I think your moon-related bonuses are awfully large (though I understand your aim).
- Maser Array already has a fair amount of power with its bombardment ability. Maybe do something like +5 per moon territory with Maser Array?

When looking to play a new game I (perhaps unfortunately) let my first impressions rule, and my #1 concern is: how much squinting will I have to do with this map? In this case, I find your choice of font unfortunate. It's very difficult to read. Stylized fonts like this are designed to be used as titles only, not text. Then in addition your kerning is way too tight and letters are running into each other. (Example: the "INE" in "Ukraine".) The combo means I'd have to concentrate too hard on reading this map - I'd never sign up for a game. Sorry.
It's just me - don't let it worry you. But if you get around to making lots of changes, consider using this font very sparingly, like for the title only. I notice you didn't use it for the tiny sideways lettering "To..." along the sides. Why? Obviously because it would be unreadable at that size. But the regular size isn't that much larger.
Just my two cents - sorry I waited so long to comment.

I'm not ok with those geographical inaccuracies! Also wouldn't it be easier to just name Korea Japan since it already sits atop Japan??? Also you've forgot to draw out the baltic sea!
And Galapagos should be moved closer to south america and a bit north! And Cap verde should be far higher up! Unless it's the doodle earth type of map you're looking for I suggest some modifications closer to reality! Otherwise I like the map!
