Coincidence? I THINK NOT! 
Basically, I think I'm using a super complex technical Geographic Information System program to do something that another could more easily do in a Computer-Assisted Drawing software. But hey, I'm not artist, I barely manage with Paint and GIMP. On the other hand, ArcGIS is what I use all day long at work, so...
Simply put, the overlay for the map that was done was drawn vortex by vortex, a vortex being a point from which line segments are assembled. And since I both did not know how much people would want to zoom with these maps and that I'm quite a perfectionist, many vortices were plotted in, in order to give rounder and more natural looking borders. And then the lines were used to form polygons to represent the regions, which must then be given various data fields in order to seperate them from each other (And the land from the water).
