That's quite good, but I prefer the post-WW1 Empire maps, with the Cape linked to Cairo and the Middle Eastern Empire linking Cairo through Jerusalem and the Transjordan to Iraq and thence through southern Iran (informal empire rather than official colony) to India and thence through Burma and Malaya to Singapore. It looks more imperial!

Author: Scott [ Edit \| View ]	Date Posted: 18:30:00 11/15/04 Mon Wow! Ive got an Empire map as well, but it's doesn't sound like it's the same one. It's the one that the Daily Mail was selling with the picture of Britannia on it. Im really quite proud of it. Ive also got a big picture of the English Lion in front of the Union flag.
