As much as I love #3 and would love to see it be the norm, I'll cast my vote for #1 as #3 will probably not win at this rate.
I don't really see the need for the antiquated look, we're a modern day nation roleplaying forum so I suggest keeping the present version. Also when's this supposed new map making an appearance?
I do like the old fashion look, especially #3, though #1 is probably the best compromise that and the present style, but if you do go with the old fashion look, you might want to better define the coastal regions, especially the non-claimed islands as they seem to blend into the background.
I'd like the following city amendments:

1. Moving Einsiedeln a bit more to the east, where the new red dot is located. This would correspond to the placing on the detailed national map. NOT CRITICAL. So don't bother if you feel it will clutter too much.
2. Adding the city of Elbebruck to the border between Wendmark and Wiese. This modification I insist upon. The city is is trans-national, spans both countries and hosts the HQ of the Germanian League. So rather important. I think Wiese won't mind if you span the name over his country a bit.
Glad to be on the map. Would it be possible for me to border Vangala at all? I wouldn't even mind a 'pan handle' sort of like one Afghanistan has. It would deeply help some RP ideas.
