It's probably easier to make a hand-picked map in a fixed scale of one country by one expert, than the rules for the automatically generated map of the whole world in all available scales by a bunch of random people with no clear and stable agenda and using constantly changing data and unlimited data schemes... =P

The past few winners of this national map contest were Nat Geo (three times)  and the US Census bureau per the slate article. Then this guy just popped up. 

The article appeared on slate, so I ordered one.

I keep it at my school to show the kids America. Now I need to find a 1:4,000,000 scale map of Japan (kinda small) to show the kids a proper comparison. I could probably print one out on B4.
