this is looking promising. the bonuses are on the high side, but i expect u'll adjust them when the gameplay is more fully developed.
australia, new zealand, new guinea and celebes are virtually the only places that have a recognisable outline. most of the other territories appear to be made up of little more than random dots. have u considered doing to most islands what i think u've already attempted for norfolk island, except on a bigger scale, i mean exaggerating the size of each island so that it's totally not to scale, but is large enough to have a distinct shape, character (for example, if u choose to draw mountains) and, importantly, colour? this means much more of the screen will become part of the playable area.

i see that u're having a bit of trouble with names in east indonesia. timor-leste (or east timor) is no longer occupied by indonesia, having gained a independence by 2002 in a very bloody struggle. rather than east indonesia, perhaps u can call this region east indies, if u can't find a better name.
