I have 2 sketch maps (just ignore the WWI borders); feel free to use them as a baseline if you like.

Thanks for this.

Will these be the final forms of the base map and the territories?

The curvature on the maps does not look good. It is better to use Mercator as a base and then reshape manually wherever needed.

Enlarge Europe from dawn to the 60th parallel while keeping the shapes and surrounding sea shapes intact as much as possible. Shrink anything beyond the 60th parallel until Finland stops looking way bigger than Britain.

Enlarge the Pacific islands while preserving their shape.

Shrink the Atlantic and Pacific oceans depending on how you want to position the US.

The New World, sub-Saharan Africa, and Australia could be shrunk as well.

AI can do it too, but for a map to be pleasing to look at, it is still better to draw manually.

If you're volunteering for this task, I'd be appreciative of the help!

If you're not volunteering that's fine too. But in that case, I will need to wait until my weekly usage limit resets. (It is now at 100%.) Also the usage limit for the upcoming week is already going to be spent in other ways, such as weeding out some problems with the GUI, changing some techs, etc. It's one thing to make a tweak or two to the map, and I hope I'm able to get that West Prussia thing fixed. But what you're describing is usage-intensive, at least if done for the whole map.
