It's a great setting and and a good book. I would love to see maps of some of the cities some time. I have a particular fascination with Carpenden. It's populace sounds lovably insane.... setting a historical dispute by bombarding each other with over ripe melons just for the honor of wearing a red hat?
Fun! :)

Hi Ridge, while there isn't a map I'm aware of, according to the wiki article on Carpenden there are 3 other books with at least some information on it. Feel free to add any information missing from Birthplace of Freedom
Confession time, in my (much) earlier post I confused Andoran: Spirit of Liberty which is an earlier work with Andoran: Birthplace of Freedom. The latter, it turns out has a handful of city maps, one of them to Carpenden with its neighborhoods.
Whoops.
Anyway, I made the purchase of Birthplace, and am quite pleased with the map of it (And Almas, Augustana, Oregent, and the town of Bellis). They aren't heavily numbered or anything (It's not a city book) but it at least gives shape to each, lists a few points of interest, etc. For Carpenden, it gave brief fluffy summaries of each neighborhood which is just what I needed so I'm a happy customer with this.
The faction bits and adventure suggestions were also much appreciated.
I believe the PC-Spirit of Liberty-is now out of print. I for one am glad to have a printed copy. I've read it numerous times.
Yes, the CS-Birthplace of Freedom has several city maps, which is great because this fledgling democracy has so much potential for adventurers and GMs alike. If you want a Man v. Nature adventure, it must be in Andoran.
