Easiest way is to have images of continents of different colors. It is less dynamic, but more efficient. — user3437460, Dec 18 '15 at 14:56

First, you create a drawing panel by extending a JPanel. You draw the world map on your drawing panel.

You define a List of City instances in your GUI model. One of the fields in the City class is the coordinates of the city on the word map, using a java.awt.Point instance. You need the coordinates to draw a circle for the city in the correct location.

You define a MouseListener that listens for mouseReleased events on the drawing panel.

If a left mouse button is released within 6 pixels of one of your City coordinates, the player is selecting that city.
