Question, is there any interest in a CC Taiwan map?
Or does the political issue (of whether Taiwan is separate from or part of China) mean CC doesn't want a piece of it?

Or how about one based on the Taipei Metro map? (up to 139 stations). Wouldn't have much of a political issue.

I think people are interested in new maps of all types. Need to check that the metro map isn't under copyright as I was planning on on the London underground that is copyrighted

I can't look at the metro map as it is failing to load for me so not sure how busy it is and so how well it would work as a map

ABR: there's nothing to show copyright on the Taipei Metro map. Would have to dig deeper to verify.

ABR: it loads within 5 seconds for me, but is cached. Try again plurple.
It's a bilingual map FWIW, but would use English only for CC

I have had another look the link you posted doesn't work for me in the uk fails to connect

But having a quick google has a similar feel to the London underground (if I got the right result)
So may work if you can get the bonus information and key to fit around the stations

Also how you want to deal with the bonuses whether you go for standard continent bonus or less standard get X troops for Y stations on a route

Yes, think its a similar feel to the London underground, just a lot fewer stations & lines.
You can try this link https://english.metro.taipei/ then choose Metro Guide from the LHS, then Route Maps & Timetables to see the current map.

How to deal with bonuses? My thinking is as per Rail South America, where you can get a bonus for each line, and a +1 or +2 for holding all regions of crossover stations.

A map of the entire island of Taiwan sounds much more inherently interesting than a map based on a city's subway system.
A Taiwan map could be a useful and entertaining introduction to the geography of the country, for a general international gaming audience.

The other route of endlessly indulging obscure monomanias only leads to unfortunate situations like having three (!) remarkably over-similar soccer maps.

Sure, the shape would be a little similar to the Greenland map, i.e. circular around the main island's coast, with 3 passes East to West, but can also add in airports and/or ports to provide more complexity, and can include links to outlying islands e.g. Green Island, Orchid Island, Penghu Island.
