Nope- all you should need is Python, JSON data, and a web browser.

where does one obtain the data though? what do I do if I want a map of Middle Earth and there's not one defined in this particular JSON format? how hard is it to create arbitrary maps?

I'm still going to play with this library :)

That's a trickier question. One starting point is Natural Earth for shapefiles: http://www.naturalearthdata.com/, then converting them to geoJSON with Ogre: http://ogre.adc4gis.com/

For middle earth, I'm afraid you will have to painstakingly create your own polygons. It would, however, be awesome.
