first of all : many many thanks for the reply and for all your tipps, hints and great ideas. 

this is truley a great asset of Knowledge here - and i am Pretty sure that in this thread many others will Benefit.


btw:  is there something to take care and do we have to pay attention to something special - if we want to add the map to - let us say a Website: 

for example in the WordPress-theme - lets say for example here: 

the theme twenty twenty four - TT4

see: 

a. https://wordpress.org/themes/twentytwentyfour/
b. https://wordpress.org/themes/twentytwentyfour/preview/

do we Need to Keep a eye on the size 
a. of the dotts for the dotted map - either Europe or the world.   In other words - do we Need to take some certain sidce - so that the Image will 
fit ritght - and does ot get to miss-configured - (i . e. if the dots are some Kind of blurred and not with a sharp and tidy design) 


cf this Image - which looks pretty awful ...     



well i hope i am able to make clear - what i find as a diffcult issue . 

how would you start - if you want to make a image that fits here  for example. 


imagine:  how would you create a map - if you want to replay one of the two standdard - defaujlt images in  the above mentioned theem TT4 twen ty twenty four. .. (see the example)



either this one here:     

(see it  ih the theme - its the big image in the theme (see the Link to the WordPress-Theme shown above )


or this one here: 
   


(see it  ih the theme - its a smaller image in the theme -- see the Link to the WordPress-Theme shown above )


question: how would you start - if you want to get a nice and tidy - a good looking result - what are the measures of the dotted map and so on.. #
How to avoid any issues in the pathway...

i look forward to hear form you

Country borders tend to complicated, usually difficult to get a good selection, so my advice is get a premade map composed of vectors - a svg image. This site has several and is free-to-use. https://simplemaps.com/resources/svg-europe

...of course you can...concentrate on one operation at a time, use plenty of layers.
