My purpose was to create an objective, unbiased political map of the EVE. The map, that will not base on someoneGÇÖs thoughts and opinions, but only on public facts, such as sovereignty of the solar systems.

Each claimed solar system emits its influence to the nearest space. The system with outpost emits 6 times more influence than regular claimed one. The system with greater sovereignty level emits the more influence. The amount of the influence is reducing proportional to the square distance from the emitting system. For every point of map the summary influence of all alliances is calculated and the territory lays claim to the most influencing alliance.

Moreover, influence is spreading through the jump gates to the neighbors' systems. After each jump influence value decreased by 70%. All systems that get influence from the star gate spread also begin to emit it in space (Systems can emit influence for different alliances concurrently).

The systems, claimed by NPC are also emitting a little GÇ£empireGÇ¥ influence, so the alliances canGÇÖt claim their territory.

Just think that influence is water and color on map is steam. This should clarify the idea of the map.

The map is fully generated by the Java program. No editions were made to it by the human hands. Some of the alliances donGÇÖt appear on the map, because their influence is to low to overwhelm their big influencing neighbor.

Sticky this , Verite best ite!
