For such maps, I usually prefer non-projected systems: latitude - 
longitude with WGS84 is my favourite. Your coordinates are in degrees, 
but it does not matter much, with such a scale.
If your country is located close to a pole, it may look strange, 
though... Which country are you thinking of?

Yes.
