I couldn't help but notice your attempt at signs, which I must say they look much better now after you got some tips. While only the first version was still posted I tried to improve your signage myself and give you this:

Keep up the good work!

Well, I'd prefer a Swedish climate while still having a somewhat flat country (not Norway-like).

Sounds strange, and I have no idea where I should place my country then...

Sounds great! Is there a map of continents and countries?

I'll gladly take any plot of land, and I can redraw my map, no problem.

I might be able to, I'll look into it in the coming days.

Well, the standard from 1955 is based on the German one, as you can tell from the colours and the typeface. The 1968 one is very influenced by the real life counterpart at the time, but it's no different than most of the designs here that mimic the Dutch one that I've seen quite a lot of. The resemb...

Roads and signage in Swärje (1968) A major overhaul of road signs was started in early 1965. The main reasons for this was that the signs were a bit too small and also percieved as old-fashioned and hard to read during night time. A new font was developed and a dark blue background was selected for...

Roads and signage in Swärje (1955) In 1952 a commission was started with the goal of creating a new road signage standard (for directions) to replace the various local designs that were in use, and accommodate the need of the growing transportation industry as well as private citizens who now could...

Is Swärje a communist country? When I see the flag and the name (sovjet) it's likely to be communist. It's a remnant from its day as a communist country. Nowadays it's a parliamentary republic, with the position of "Prime Soviet" being equal to that of a Prime Minister. Parts of it still ...

Well, I feel familiar with Sweden and it's something that I can relate to and use as a basis for my country. Later, if I go on to creating more countries I might decide to make it "more unique". Still, the design is far from the current Swedish standard.

The signs are mostly based on the previous Swedish design as well as Finnish signs. Still working on putting a good set of them together.

Here's a sneak peek of the current standard:

Thanks for all your kind comments!

I'm still working on most stuff, but I've updated the map to fix some of the small errors, such as the two rivers crossing each other.
The URL is the same, so just force a reload of the image if the new version doesn't show up (Ctrl-F5).

It may be, though on the other hand a lot of the countries I've seen here pretty much look like a variant of the Benelux countries.

Nice start with a nice map, Riiga. :) Thanks! There are some things I where I'd likte to put some questionmarks though. Your country is so Sweden-like, the name is even phonetically the same as Sverige. This is not wrong, understand me correctly, but it could need some more creativity. Also think a...

Looks nice! Is there not a possibility to get close at Mandelsofts area ? There are more country's like Schellingen (BRS), Fürstendum Steinmarken (FS) ect. They got even an intercontinental road network, like the European roads here. Thanks! Sounds like a plan. I'll talk to him about that and see i...

Together they symbolise the Swädish government a...
