How to make SVG country maps

1. Get map images for references. The more images the better(er). My main references are:
   • Google Maps for Equirectangular maps.
   • NASA World Wind using only the country boundary layer.
2. The images are brought into Inkscape, and that's where the fun starts. Images from World Wind have to be arranged accordingly on top of equirectangular maps.
3. World Wind images are then converted into vector with the Trace Bitmap function using procedures shown here.
4. Herein starts the painstaking work of combining the Bézier lines to shape your map.
5. Colour the map using colours suggested by Wikipedia:WikiProject Maps
