Longitude bands: cover the map with cities
Cover as much of the map as you can with bands.
How to play
Cover as much of the map as you can with bands. Every city you name paints a strip of latitude (or longitude) on either side of it. Your score is how much of the map you've covered, out of what can be covered at all. To start with each strip reaches 500 km either side of the city. You can set it anywhere from 10 to 3,000 km. Longitude is harder than latitude, because climate gives you no clue.
