I fixed up Labrador's border, and then added all the recent patches to the map.

I added administrative division of Argentina, France, the Netherlands and Germany. I also outlined the Svalbard as Terra Nullis, because it transferred Norway only in 1920

Spain had Madeira?

That's a mistake of the map in general, if you look at the earlier map it shows it as well.

That, and Saint Pierre and Miquelon should be French blue...

Didn't Iguaçu and Ponta-Porã exist then?

They appeared in 1943

Jan Mayen appears to be Danish coloured, when in reality it was terra nullis until 1930. Similarly, Franz Josef and Victoria Islands near Svalbard were also terra nullis in 1914.

And should those Canadian Arctic islands be terra nullis, or is that just incomplete?

[Vladislav]

I added administrative division of Russian Empire

Whoever makes a substantial update next; can you fill in those terra nullis islands in Canada's Arctic islands? I would, but it seems like a waste of bandwidth for such a small change if an important one isn't going to be made as well.

They're supposed to be terra nullis.

Why? Especially the one south of Baffin Island, I can't believe that wasn't claimed by 1914

[Edit] Okay, so I looked it up - 1948! wow.

Wow. Color me surprised.

Because they're ice-locked most of the time, it was only discovered when they flew a plane over it (on 21st July 1948).

The others were discovered in the 1913 to 1916 by Vilhjalmur Stefansson's Canadian Arctic Expedition - Brock on 15th June 1915, Borden and McKenzie King on 20th June 1915, Meighen on 13th June 1916, Lougheed on 9th August 1916. No mistake, I have done my research

I added administrative division of China and Venezuela

Congress Poland is a bit off, here is a patch.

Chelm Province was founded in 1913 and immediately removed from the Polish

[stateless_englishman]

Made a fix to the Trucial States - added Musandam and Madha (exclaves of Oman) which were missing, and patched in the individual sheikdoms. Sorry that it's a mess in the east, it's just the way the sheikdoms are. Worth noting that Dibba was its own sheikdom 1871-1951, as was Hamriyah 1875-1922 and Kalba 1903-1952. Pretty impossible to see though.

EDIT: And please can people stop posting the whole map? Either post a patch/series of patches, or if you must do the whole map upload it to a separate image hosting site such as imgur and post a link only. It messes up the forum widths like hell.
