This is a map of the Earth, taken and colonized with hundreds of towns. Currently, this is only a demo, featuring six countries. However, despite there only being six countries, I have built over 500 towns and cities. The countries in this demo are:
Canada, Colombia, Morocco, Iceland, Russia (including antarctic research stations), and Palau.

MORE DETAIL ABOUT THIS MAP AND THE DOWNLOAD LINK IS ON THE MINECRAFT FORUMS:

www.minecraftforum.net/topic/1764652-earth-colonization-project/

Please visit the above link for the map download, as it is uploaded to mega.co.nz, which is not whitelisted on this website!

This map can be played in survival, or in creative. Upon opening the world, you spawn in Vancouver, Canada. Each town that I built has some items inside chests to help if the map is being played in survival (it works best as a treasure hunt).
I HIGHLY SUGGEST THAT THIS MAP BE PLAYED WITH THE REI'S MINIMAP MOD!
If anyone plans to open a server using my map, don't hesitate to invite me along Posted Image In the next update I will feature the following countries:
USA, Venezuela, Algeria, Norway, Kazakhstan, and Micronesia.

Additional Notes

Also look out for another one of my colonization projects featuring lentebriesje's amazing world map! I look forward to his release of the full map, but he has some already that feature single continents. Check them out here:

Background
In august, i downloaded the Earth in minecraft from here:
http://www.minecraft...-updated-final/

After a while of wondering what to do with it, i decided to take my fascination of the world to the next level and build every city and town that is named in a particular atlas I have. It did not take me long to realize that this is a potentially good game to publish! I wrote books at each location with information about the towns, and there's lots of other features that i've added. I aim to finish all towns in the world, and eventually publish this as possibly the biggest treasure hunt ever made because there will be thousands of locations built single-handedly by me. The aim is of course to gather all books, and find seven clues revealing a secret fortress somewhere on the map, where the books must be placed (this is a feature that is to be added later), also in the fortress will be great treasure!

The map itself is gigantic: about 20000 blocks east to west, and 10000 blocks pole to pole. towns are only represented by a couple of buildings, but that's because i'm trying to be realistic here and create something i can finish SOON. Of course i have encountered problems with navigation, getting lost in the middle of continents, or not recognizing coastlines. THEREFORE, the map will come with an excel spreadsheet complete with: game details, a checklist of all the towns created in game, and a number of formulae created by me to help find the location of a city (or any place) in minecraft using minecraft coordinates and real geographic coordinates and to prevent getting lost by telling you where on earth you are by plugging in X and Z minecraft coordinates (which is pretty cool!). This was needed also to know the accurate location of the exact block on which the city or town must be placed.

Phoenix will definitely be in the next release, as the United States is what I am currently working on

Sorry man but it's completely an individual project. I started it to explore the world myself in a way, and I have a very structured way of doing it to keep it consistent. And besides I don't even have a server :/
