Blank Maps
I recently stumbled upon a collection of maps in svg-format. The page and data is part of the wikipedia and the licenses of usage may vary, but some (e.g. the world map) are published under all-purpose-licenses.
The vector areas are even semantically grouped – thus if you select the area of France you’ll have French Guiana marked as well. I suppose this will be very useful for visualisation projects.
Collective intelligence is a wonderful thing.
