Ah, the memories. I ran a JI campaign for years and still believe it to be one of the best products Hero ever put out. Two more sources I found helpful: The New Nile Empire sourcebook from TORG (a land of pulp heroes and weird science) and the Atlas of World Revolutions, which has some great maps and background on events of the twenties and thirties.

Please tell me more about the Atlas of World Revolutions. Who published it? Do you know if it's in print? Is it specifically an RPG resource or is it a "regular" book?

Probably referring to this...
World Atlas of Revolutions which has no reviews or any real write-up.
Though this looks interesting too...
Atlas of Military History, Maps...

I don't know if its been mentioned before, but another good resource is GURPS Places of Mystery - if you can find one. Its currently out of print, but shows up on ebay and used rpg dealers often. There was talk back when Cliffhangers 2nd was being playtested that they may do an update if there is interest. Don't have any updates - I've been out of the GURPS scene for a while now.

The World Atlas of Revolutions, by Andrew Wheatcroft, 1983, Simon and Schuster. Apparently now outof print but widely available at libraries. For the "Pulp Age", has maps and background articles on such places as Arabia, Russia, Turkey, Italy, Germany, Spain, India and China. I found it invaluable when our JI party went to Turkey in 1922.
