In Show HN: A free collection of maps for every country in the world, in 11 sizesGreat effort!
Unfortunately, you're likely to get a bunch of requests for changes since there are a bunch of places where geo-political boundaries are murky at best.
For example, your map for India (https://github.com/djaiss/mapsicon/blob/master/asia/in/1024....) shows the boundary as the line of control with Pakistan and China, instead of the boundary which India claims (based on pre-war demarcations, http://www.mapsofindia.com/images2/india-map.jpg)

Otherwise, I like your project and the initiative of open sourcing it. Could be a nice resource for making a geo-quiz or similar.
