Popularity of the Faerun Map?

[Cohen]

I'd like a lot Faerun map because it's huge.
I love huge games where is needed a long term planning of strategy.
I love too the Forgotten Realms world since I'm a D&D/AD&D player.

I love to know that in the map there're special locations with good magic sites or with a strategical importance, more than mere common provinces.

I'm sad to hear Faerun with less provinces.

However the current Faerun has some limits, while I like a lot starting position fixed in those sort of scenario map, some Nations start too close to them (like Marignon-Pythium) and other like Abysya (my preferred) started with 4 neighbouring land provinces, 3 of them with Indies set by map, very strong, and very hard to conquer, and 3 out of 4 were 1waste-2spawmps. And the waste was the free one.

I hope in better balance for sure, and I'd like to modify the current Faerun map if the map creator (Edi) allows me to do that.
