I recently happened upon this blog page discussion of fantasy maps. In it, the author shows a picture of the map of Minaria from the game Divine Right. I was struck by how awesome a campaign world this could be using just the map alone!
A quick search revealed this site. The author has compiled background info from the game itself and from a series of Dragon articles about the game from back in the day.

Minaria is quite cool. Have really wanted to run a campaign in that setting for 15+ years now.

Re: Minaria Campaign Setting?
There were quite a few articles on the setting in old issues of Dragon magazine and the game traces back to the 1970's, although never as an actual RPG.
I think most of that material can be found reprinted in one of the links above.

I just found some info on Board Game Geek about a sequel/expansion game that was never published: Scarlet Empire. The map image isn't very large, but if you save the image you can zoom in enough to make out additional details.

Re: Minaria Campaign Setting?
That's an awesome find! Don't know that I'm up for making a whole campaign out of it, but possibly some one-shots.
For what it's worth, I'm going to be running a game of Divine Right at GaryCon in March.
