I’m aware wikipedia uses these types of maps but I’ve also seen people that aren’t wikipedia make these. Like what software website or app do they use?
There’s this [entire article](https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Map_resources) about how to edit maps for Wikipedia, including software recommendations. Essentially they encourage using SVG files, which are not real images but something like visual representations of underlying code or data. They have some templates available you can use and edit.

The type of software for professional maps and handling geospatial data is called GIS. ESRI’s Products are the most common commercial applications. QGIS is the best most common open source option.

Install [inkscape](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inkscape), download the template map from Commons, open the file with inkscape and that’s it.
