The reason I picked favoring SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics, if I'm not wrong) is because you can just pick it up, add some shapes without worry about them infusing with the image forever. While not an exactly lightweight option unless it doesn't use an image for background (which I don't think is 100% possible anyway), instead it is sufficient for people to pick it up and then re-upload it with their own additions. Without loosing quality and keeping the capability to remove, reshape or reduce certain territories without the need of starting over from scratch.

Vector graphics for the win.
