> I had considered this idea, but I was unable to find large enough maps in the public domain. If anyone knows of any, please let me know.

Well, I have access to a MapArt CD, which has vector graphics pictures of the whole world in it, but they're pretty dull, so they need some work (in Illustrator, for instance) to be made a tad more interesting.
