[edit] map

Nikola Smolenski wrote As I said when the article was featured, the map doesn't show entities and gives false impression that BH is divided in some equal somethings

So bold the line between the entities if you like. The map is otherwise perfectly fit AFAICT. Besides, regardless of the differences in the nature of the regions and the cantons, they're still both the third tier of subdivision in the country and it's logical to have them on the same map. --Joy [shallot] 12:16, 16 Aug 2004 (UTC)
I'd do this myself, of course, but I can't draw well enough. Nikola 05:43, 17 Aug 2004 (UTC)
Replaced the map now with one that has different pastel shades for the entities (also useful to diversify a little, Asim used the same color Morwen used for counties of .hr which would be pretty boring :). I'm going to make such maps for other cantons and regions too. --Joy [shallot]
It's still not good enough.
  • Borders are still of the same size. I would suggest that either the entity border is tickened (probably the international border would have to be thickened too) or the inter-entity borders are drawn dotted.
    • RS regions, have far less signifficance than Federation cantons. Their borders could be made even thinner (for example with rarer dots).
Well, the two groups are colored differently, this should delineate them well enough. Though I agree that the Regions are less significant -- in fact I wasn't able to find any significance in them... But more to the point, I don't know how to easily bold the borders in the Gimp :) I could do it manually but that'd be tedious. --Joy [shallot]\


  • Brcko district has a shade close (if not same) as the Federation. If you want to stress that it's not in RS, fine, but then give it completely different shade.

Actually the shade of the district is left the same as the original, #c6c9ff, which is close to _both_ -- I moved the color of RS regions more towards the blue part of the specter (#c6daff), and the color of the F cantons more towards the red (#e0c7ff). The map of the district itself has it bright red because I thought it was so small nobody would notice it. Note also that many of the initially made maps don't even show the Posavina Canton because Asim forgot to draw it. Its area should be a bit larger than the BrĨko District's, so it's an even worse problem :) --Joy [shallot]

if the city of Sarajevo has over 600.000 population how come...The Kanton has 400.000
