Put lots of hours into this piece.

This is excellent!

Oops. Sorry, sleepy.

Nice map. Looks like you put a lot of work into it. But in the case of the real Washington, a more probable border would be the Columbia.

In Portuguese it's difficult to combine names like "Terra dos Cisnes" (Land of the Swans) in a single word. You can try instead "Terra dos Cysnes" to give a archaic flavour to the name.
I hope this helps.

Nice. I heartily approve.

Top notch. I particularly like the Arapaho-esque flag of Wyoming.

Well it's certainly better than OTL's, not that that's saying much

EDIT: What's the motto on Massachusetts' flag?

It's just you. Maine's border looks right to me.

I thought quoting maps was bad?

Small images are okay. Large images are bad.

Colonies in the Caribbean when the political situation , but not the technological, was frozen in the High Medieval Europe.
I'm not sure about the correct transliteration of the Greek and Arabic names. (In fact I translated to Maltese rather than Arabic to avoid that problem

)
Also I don't know which language the Normans use, so I decide to make it colonies of their Italian posessions.
Hope it's not too ASBish

Not, it certainly is not saying much. :P

"An Appeal to Heaven"

Sure thing. Forgive the slight pixelization, however. I ran out of time to go through and vectorize it.

Not when your map gets stuck on the last post of the last page. :P

Oh, forgot to mention about that - take note about how some flags are more like banners instead of the usual rectangle. Also about how those of what would have been a former Texas Republic all have a similar flag.

Left over nationalism, perhaps?

Heh. You inspired me to make a quicky map...
