The style of the infobox is a little different to differentiate it from other infoboxes and because I thought partitioning it up like this makes it easier to read, while removing extraneous information to keep it more compact.

Maps

Here is the PSD file for the map: File:Taiwan_map.jpg9-smaller-corrected-empty.psd. To create the maps for the individual counties a paintbucket tool was used to fill each county with light blue (#CCCCFF), with a tolerance of 40 and no anti-aliasing (It makes it harder to scale down the number of colors). Then I chose "Save for web" to save the map as PNG-8 with these settings: [1]. Light red (#FF5A91) was used to fill in the cities.
