Very nice. And I agree with a lot of the technique--felt strip roads and craft shop pom-pom trees are prominent features of my own microscale landscape. Your Majesty will find also that several manufacturers supply 5mm or 6mm buildings in a block of some sort into which a stand of castings may be placed. I mostly use an old TCS river system, but the real trick is to find bridges. Once you have suitable bridges, and small river will work. Hmm. Note that deciduous pom-poms can be supplemented with the smallest of the Christmas "bottle brush" pine trees. Look in the stores immediately after Christmas. A week will be too late. Hedges, of course, are from green scrubbing pads. As for hills, my own preference is to buy sheet foam rubber in green from the craft shops, cut in various round and oblong shapes, and then spray with a variety of greens and browns until they match my round cloth. Such hills take a good deal of abuse. And may I welcome your majesty to the world of really tiny wargames?

I really like the way you can get all those small little swales and rises with the craft foam under another mat, I'll have to try that and see if my best mat (one of the Terrain Guy's 6x4s) is sensitive enough to show them; I think my smaller flocked felt ones from MKP will be.
