Need some advice on texture creation

[Size_Mick]

In a previous post I talked about an idea for a political outline overlay for Earth, to replace the clouds texture. I want some of you experienced types to take a look at this site:

and tell me if you think the graphics in their .pdf files would be translatable into a texture, and how difficult you would estimate this to be. Specifically, I'm talking about the outline maps with no names in them. TIA

Have a look at these sites:

Choose equidistant cylindrical or XY plot in the other one as map type.
