Using a blank map of the Marshall Islands
This page gives you the Marshall Islands as a shape to build on: a transparent PNG, an SVG or a PDF, in two versions. Outline only is the whole shape, and With borders draws in the line between the two administrative areas, the Ralik Chain and the Ratak Chain. The map has no names, so the labels are yours to choose.
A split to show
The political blank map of the Marshall Islands is With borders, which suits a slide that divides a subject in two. Place the PNG in a deck, colour each area with a shape tool or fill the SVG in a design tool, and add the two names yourself. The slide's own colour shows through the transparent background, so no white box appears behind the map.
A handout with two parts
For a handout, put With borders at the top of a page and give each area a short note beneath it, one for the Ralik Chain and one for the Ratak Chain. The list further down this page gives both names to copy. Younger children can trace Outline only and cut it out for a display.
Which file
SVG is the format to restyle or enlarge, in Illustrator, Inkscape or Figma. PNG is the quick one for a document.

Questions people ask
What is the difference between Outline only and With borders?
Outline only is the shape of the Marshall Islands with nothing inside it. With borders adds the line between its 2 areas, the Ralik Chain and the Ratak Chain, and is the political blank map. Neither carries names.
Does the PNG have a transparent background?
Yes. Everything around the shape is see-through, so the map takes the colour of the slide, page or poster you place it on.
Which file should I use in a worksheet, a slide or a design?
Use the PNG for a worksheet or a slide, the SVG for a design tool and any job where the shape will be enlarged, and the PDF to print on A4 or Letter.
How do I add names or my own colours?
Choose Customise this map. It opens the same outline in the editor, where you can show the names of the two areas, colour them, pin Majuro and add a title.
