I don't know about other people, but when I think of the Río de la Plata or of "the estuary", I think of the circled area.
No acknowledgement of my map?
On a map thread?
Nice Celtic empire.
That makes me think, with some different colonization their could've been a very large city (maybe New York size) along where the Estuary and large part of the river meet.
Thank you.
One could argue that Buenos Aires is pretty big, but I'm not sure even with different colonization, if a large metropolis could be made.
I haven't been able to verify, but I would think the part where the rivers end and the Estuary begins would be pretty swampy.
Not that that stopped Houston from being built. Or any number of cities on swamps.
I wonder if the Jacksonville might work better off to the right, outside the border - where the border crosses the upright of the 'n' is suboptimal.

I had thought that as well, but then it looked kind of odd when all of the other were on top. Though I'll look to see what happens if I move them all to the right.
Well, another thought is to move the text below the marker, and have the marker roughly over the 'll' in the name.
In highland regions rivers tend to have valleys, so I suppose they often make barriers, while near the sea they spread out into open plains and so tend to have easy transit I guess.
Well with Iraq-Kuwait there isn't much choice.
Nigeria-Cameroon and Nicaragua are from the Scramble, which produced some rather odd borders. Still, I was mostly against those people who use the entire length of a major river for a border, something that happens pretty rarely in real life. Parts yes, but rarely the whole thing.

Germany has advanced into the Baltic States and have created new states. Though Tsarist Russia has successfully crushed the revolution, many communists now reside in Latvia and Estonia. Germany has created Poland. However, Poland is highly Militarized. Two Months after the successful German invasion, Russia signed a peace treaty which gives Germany some military bases in Finland. This is almost an outrage throughout Russia.
Austria and Hungary seperated. They both decided to seperate the land that was set out for them, through the Kingdoms boundaries during Austria-Hungary. Austria has advanced into Russia with the Germans to establish a foothold on the border. Hungary is currently setting up in Romania.
Germany has successfully defeated the French, after the victory in Russia. A massive troop transfer took place, and the French were defeated. The Balkanization began. Several states were established but the French held onto the peninsula of Brittany. Germany gets the French Territories in North Africa, but lost all their original colonies in Africa.
