Are any of your random maps wraparound?
Afraid not. You could do that if you wanted to.
We tried to iron out the coding but couldnt get it to quite work. There were two methods.

A) look for some tiling code that would smudge the edges to make them exact matches, then try to fix the borders and neighbors

B) Cut-n-paste the map to a new Version. Its like... you cut it up the middle and switch the two pieces. That makes the two out edges match. Now the center line would be easier to fix in a paint program. Then switch the sides BACK. If no provinces were added and minimal fixing done then the original .map file should still work. Do the same for top/bottom if you want a 4-way wrap (although I prefer neighboring all the top to each other and all the bottom to each other for a "globe" effect)
