Heh, I was just coming here to nominate Leo Africanus and looks like I was beat to it, so of course I will second it. The others look very interesting as well, but I'm going to mull over them for now.

No worries and I can see how you thought that - the outlines do make it appear that the smaller islands might be their own region, especially since the islands are so small that the colour can only barely be seen in a few of them. That's just how the map-making tool I used works - the map was already made with those outlines. On reflection now, one would think though that if the point of the tool were to colour-code countries and it went to the trouble of already broadly outlining those island countries that it would've done something like make the outlines in the selected colour.
