This looks seriously great, one of the best-looking maps I've ever seen. Do you know what software was used to create it?

The only thing I would tweak is I would make the text a little more contrasty, and would not go down in font size so much, especially if the place named is actually a full-size area.

I'm curious how you're making use of the map. Are you planning to integrate it into your HTML5 client?

A few months back I wrapped in some jQuery SmoothZoom code and I think it really helped make it more functional. I added an area jumper/selector and at some point I want to add a 'click to travel there' capability for when the map is opened in a window inside our web client. Are you thinking along the same lines?
