1. My God those political maps are ugly

2. So, how're you going to classify Kashmir, Gaza, Taiwan and Western Sahara?

If you want the Italian capital google it normally, not in Maps. Including political information is a complete pain in the arse for any company with global reach, for practically no benefit. If you really want it that badly build a mash-up.

I think we read two different posts.

"Including political information is a complete pain in the arse for any company with global reach, for practically no benefit."

All the post asked was for capitals and city/township/county borders to be added to the maps. I'm not really sure what's so complicated about that.

Also, Kashmir, Gaza, Taiwan, and Western Sahara are already on Google Maps.
