Re: Faerun.
Can you save parts of the map into image files? That might work better than copying.
The map editor has a better chance of guessing the right neighbours when the borders are red, but you'll probably have to check every province manually for mistakes any way, so that's not necessary.
When you get the image out and start adding province centers, put them into a different layer and keep the working files separate from the final .tga or .rgb images (which will lose the layers). This makes the editing much easier.
Try to get all province centers in before you start editing neighbours. The commands for adding or removing provinces don't work, and changing the image file and then going back to map editor may cause you lose all the previous work on the map.
You should probably decide what is the first nation you are going to create, and play Dom3 nations that you think would be similar. You might even want to play a short MP game, but perhaps joining a blitz game on the IRC channel might be better in your case. Blitz games are over in hours, but forum games tend to take much longer, especially with all the diplomacy.
Modding and mapmaking pdfs are in a subfolder called doc, as was said.
