Tolkien also arrived later in my life, when I was young, around 15 years old... But then my heart already had an owner, Robert E Howard and Conan.

The numbers on the scale are a little small. Maybe a little bigger.

The page says the annual is from July 2023, made by Monkey Frog Studio

Of course, as @Royal Scribe said, by controlling the radius you have a greater or lesser "coastal strip".

Another possibility is to change the X and Y proportions in the symbol parameters.

Maybe the colors of the rivers should be a little lighter to give a better contrast with the strong green of the territory?

the dark blue camouflages itself with the strong green of the territory.

perhaps a slightly lighter color to detail them better, a matter of testing with the colors in the palette.

More darker would certainly make it even harder to read them on the map.

Love it!

Have you tried using Mike Schley's "Rich" rug and changing its X and Y proportions to make it more longitudinal?

It's a relatively small surface to really notice the textured effect. Maybe if you print the map in a large size, it will be noticeable.
