## Description

A+ World Map Editor Sandbox is a powerful offline map editor for mappers, world‑builders, and alternate‑history fans. Start from a high‑quality real‑world map and reshape it however you like: redraw borders, merge or split nations, rename countries, provinces, cities and oceans, and design custom flags and colors. Save projects locally and work anywhere without an internet connection.

Switch smoothly between detailed 2D maps and a fully rotatable 3D globe, add animated stickers, set capitals, track stats, and use your own photos as region backgrounds. This creative sandbox encourages experimentation — build fantasy empires, test “what if” scenarios, or practice geography while crafting immersive lore for your world.
