MAIN FEATURES
A politically coloured map of the world showing individual countries and their capital cities with principal roads and railways. Local name forms are used for all towns and cities with the English or historical alternative shown in brackets e.g. Mumbai (Bombay), Sankt Peterburg (Leningrad) where space permits.
