Sorry Clarke, but I don't fit that last definition of yours, and to be honest I don't like that definition. Please ask V98, naathim and some others about it. Aero, Bishop, cbt (formerly) and I have commented in almost every map in a constructive way. Fendi has little to no time and still gives her opinion about almost finished maps and we all try to improve everyone else's job. But we won't be giving false hopes to things that we think won't work.
I didn't comment to this map because I don't understand it very well. I think Inferno eventually would play like this: each player owns 1 or 2 regions and stacks on R B G V H L F I A with three territories to farm cards from. In short, a bigger Brethren Coast old edition. I am sorry but I don't think that it is an interesting gameplay. If I had come up with a better idea for the map I would have commented it, but didn't.
I have thought outside the box a few times. I don't think that non-geographical maps don't work. I have designed a Tetris map, or London Underground map, but I don't publish everything I make so you didn't have the chance to see them.
The only thing I want to say is about labeling. Why Hades 1, 2, 3. Hell has a whole lot of names. Not going further, Hades, Tartarus, Dis as suggested by Ultrasplot would be also valid, more research would result in more accurate names. About the meaning of the map, I am pragmatic. I don't care about the topic. If it offends someone, it's up to the map maker to fix it, if he feels like it's needed (like it happened to the Balkan map). It would be possible to find another topic fitting the 9 regions.

Living proof that everyone can be a brilliant great good decent cartographer.
