An example showing why stroke-linejoin: round is critical to use for the stroke around text labels. Without it, you get the default stroke-linejoin value of miter (shown here), which yields jagged edges around the text.

A US map with labels (using an experimental Polylabel build) and an experimental map projection: Geo Albers USA with Territories.

This is really an experiment to see how VizHub can deal with moderate complexity.
