A Map of Lushan, an island nation

This is a map for the island Empire of Lushan, in my homebrew setting - Urstamalga!

I've received some great help on the continent map over on the Cartographer's Guild forum but the site is routinely slow in responses so I figured, why not post the map of Lushan over here and get some feed back! :)

Here's a little blurb I wrote up to go along with the map, sort of explaining its oddness:
A quick note about the Empire that rules the island, its a very ordered society, as can bee seen by the roads, and the placement of the larger towns and villages. Each town/village is connected via a road system that encircles the entire island, as well as a single road leading through the country side to a large watch tower on the Fenshi Wall, which protects the more densely populated eastern half of the island from the more wild and less civilized western half. Further, the Empire is geared towards trade, both domestic and foreign, this is why the major towns & villages are all placed on the eastern coast; not only to maximize trade with the western nations but also to allow trade to pass up and down the island with ease... And to avoid the Windless Sea (because its Windless!)... And to avoid the Pirates of Necraulia (a near-by island-nation of Undead).

I may as well post up the main map of Urstamalga, though I haven't had time to go back and redue the Mountains (they look too obviously copy and pasted).

EDIT: For some reason the IMG tags aren't working, so the URL will have to sufice until I can figure out what I'm doing wrong :(
