Indeed I've long been intreagued by the idea of rendering such clustering maps more like geographic maps for better readability.

It would be cool to have analogous continents, countries, sub-regions, roads, different-sized settlements, and significant landmarks... This version looks great at the highest zoom level, but rapidly becomes hard to interpret as you zoom in, same as most similar large embedding or graph visualizations.
