I know the idea is to have an oddly shaped map play identically to the
Standard map, but I'd personally make one change, and play it as a variant.

I'd make the circular central "outside" passable and a sea province. That
way, your unnamed (on the map) central province, named "Switzerwater",
perhaps, would really serve to facilitate movement through all the water
provinces. Having it as a land province, or as an impassable province
(which makes it equivalent to Standard), kind of blocks things up.

I was bored the other day so I came up w this. It's IDENTICAL to the
standard map and entirely playable as a standard game... except it is
completely inverted topologically. The standard map has two unplayable
regions... Switzerland, and the "outside"... this map takes the outside
to the middle, and Switzerland to the outside, but otherwise is
completely equivalent to playing on the standard map.
