Cool map, but I had to downrank it for a couple of reasons.
First, and most importantly, the connections between islands are incredibly difficult to see. The lines linking them are irregular and curvy, which can make it difficult to see which territories they actually connect. They are also white against a fairly bright background, which causes a lot of squinting.

This problem is worsened by the inconsistent connections between islands. Why, for instance, doesn't Tortola connect to St. John? Or Grand Bahama to Abaco? It looks like they should on the map, but they do not.

Finally re oversea connections, the calligraphic connecting lines don't go all the way to the territories they link. This can make for trouble, as it looks like Saint-Martin could connect to either Fort-de-France or Southern Martinique.

Fix these and you have a five-star map.

Also - I noted a broken connection between Glades and Martin in Florida.

Finally, leave some room on the margins. It makes the bottom easier to see.

I am working on fixing these problems, the fixed version should be up by 6/4/14

The map is overall good, however it is brought down by something's! I like the idea of the flags and its also well balanced. However...

Including the flags limits the detail on the map itself. You should only really use flags for small maps or for a small amount of flags. Using a flag for every Country does enhance the look of the map, but it reduces the detail of the territory's, as you have to simplify them more. Also it limits the chances of having nice clean borders.

Edit: How did I forget the 'connections' please fix, this will be confusing, plus change the colour as well. You may want to try dots?

The Caribbean map has a glut of tiny bonuses that are connected in very unintuitive ways. Navigation alone is difficult and trying to plan out superbonuses just doesn't feel worth it.

There is a problem with Martin territory, in the noth of the map. Can't be attacked by the left ! Not connected.
Thanks for the map.

This is a fun easy map. Just takes awhile to move through all the islands.

It's a very well-labeled map of the Caribbean. It's good that the author made some of the smaller islands larger to make them easier to see and click, but the connections are a bit confusing. If two territories are touching, I think the player should be able to assume that they are connecting. This is not always the case with the tiny circle islands. It's not just the islands with confusing connections. The connections of Yucatan, Rio Jatate, and Port Au-Prince aren't completely clear from looking either. I think having clear territorial divisions is more important that displaying every province. It's an interesting map, though, and I might play it again sometime.

I'll give it a 3 star rating. It could have been higher, but with some missing connections and connections that didn't make sense, along with it being hard to differenciate the different territories (different or darker colors would help) I couldn't go any higher with the rating. The map looks great at first, until you start playing it and see the flaws. If you clean up the islands a little (hard to know what islands connect to each other) and fix connection between the connections I found that were missing (1) glades and martin (2) Saint-Martin and Sint Maarten (3) Guatemala City and Escuintla and (4) Managua and Leon it would be much nicer to play.
