Explanation:

The political maps are type of specialized maps that are portraying the countries. This includes the the territories and the boundaries of the countries, as well as some settlements.

These maps can be showing the whole world and all of the countries on it, or they can only show a particular continent or region with the countries on it. Very often, the countries that are depicted tend to have their territories filled in with a particular color, or rather every country having different color. The reason for this is to have clearer view of all the territories that are depicted.

Apart from the coloration, the name of the country is always part of these maps. The name can be written inside the territory, or if the territory is to small, then it is written right next to the country and it has a marking so that it points to which territory it refers to.

Very often, the capital city, or cities that are large and important, are also marked on the political maps, but they are not the dominant feature on them.
