Here are some blank maps for color and label in different languages.
IMPORTANT: Only . svg ( vector) and . png ( raster) images are to be used for unanimated maps.
SVG is a vector graphics format. SVG has advantages over PNG for creating world maps of arbitrary detail or zoom level, certain editing purposes, saving layers, and rescaling text, curves and lines. SVG is preferred: see Wikipedia:WikiProject_Maps.
PNG is a raster graphics format. PNG has advantages over SVG including smaller filesize (due to less-than-optimal server-side SVG-to-raster conversion), more widely supported and often easier and faster to make simple changes to things such as borders.
These maps are now deprecated:
These are azimuthal orthographic projections of the Earth from four sides plus the poles. 726x726 pixels, aliased. XCFs have separate layers for water, land, coastlines, political borders, political borders over water (not shown in PNGs), and latitude & longitude gridlines (not shown in PNGs).
These maps show elevation and main rivers, but no modern boundaries. They are intended for use in archaeological/historical contexts ( Kurgan, Ancient Orient, Neolithic Europe, etc.):
