I would not like to reinvent the wheel, but if you have not made this utility, I can see what can be done.
I can see how a utility like this could be useful even though there is a map editor. With the map editor you can edit the terrain and name of individual provinces and most importantly their neighbors.

However the map editor is restricted to terrain editing and you cannot use it for scenario creation, like adding mosters or special starting positions.

I hope this clarifies what the map editor can and cannot do somewhat.
