Shivran could work but it really is quite large. At 8 players, that would give us 21 provinces apiece when we're really looking for is 10-15 provinces per player. As such, something in the 80 to 120 province range. There are a heck of a lot of maps out there (most of which I'm not familiar with) but just looking at what I have available, both Desert Eye (108 land + 17 sea) and Aran (96 land + 11 sea) would fit the bill. Parganos could work but when I opened it up I found the divisions between the provinces too indistinct, which would get pretty annoying pretty fast.

That's my two cents...
