B. It blow's the others away. It's the least boring of them all. Except spice up your signature.

B red is the most appropriate to the swiss theme and the most vivid

What signature?
On another note - that little bit of Austrian border looks a bit funny - I wonder if it would be best to remove it?
(I prefer A because the Swiss flag is Red in A)
C.

I'm sorry - I meant the title. In Version B, the title is very dark and gray. It should be a little brighter.

It looks like some of the Bern Dominion color is leaking into Jura, Neuchatel, Fribourg, and Vaud. I don't like the new borders between the surrounding countries - they're a bit too visible. I'd make them thinner or darker or both.
Overall, a nice update.

Should work. It's worth a try, at least.

The "Svizzera Schweiz Suisse" subtitles are a little faint/blurry for my tastes. But the titles look a lot better in general.

Here's a small update:
[bigimg]http://i26.tinypic.com/334ki1f.jpg[/bigimg]
[bigimg]http://i26.tinypic.com/2mnr9kg.jpg[/bigimg]
-Fixed purple
-Decreased the opacity of the surrounding country borders
-Made the title bigger
-Small! (yes the armies fit, i tried it out)
Just to show that the small looks pretty good without changing anything other than size.

The colors around the region names should match the regions. And are they listed in some kind of order now? Like the grey doesn't match at all. But the map itself looks great.

They
did match, but now the BG of that box is red...ill make the opacity of the stroke higher. I listed them from largest name to smallest name, but if you want, i can make them listed in a better way regarding the map...

I think the legend could use some work. It feels very big and clunky to me. Maybe start by reducing the colored glow on the text?

At that point remove the legend, there is no use for it. Replace it with the flag. And remove the red BG behind the minimap, keep it floating like the title.
Maybe

Don't remove the names. People like to call regions by names, not just "the middle grey area".
