Something we could do, though, is add corresponding governorates to the Russian state colors. I'll be making a list and posting it here shortly.
Existing counterparts in italics. Some may not have an exact analogue (or any analogue) in the current scheme. Those will be marked with an asterisk. Subdivisions that have a corresponding color but I believe should have their own will be marked with a double asterisk.

If so, I'm willing to refit that for now (And add some Martian states.)

I'm not sure if I am qualified to make any useful suggestions, but I think this is a very detailed and useful coulour scheme, and if I ever get good enough at making maps to actually get to using it, this is the scheme I'd use. With that in mind, I'd like to share the following observations:


- As someone mostly involved in discussing various premodern subjects, I find the apparent lack of Vinland in this scheme to be a matter that should probably be addressed. Vinland shows up a lot, so it's probably smart to include that one. Of course, it is quite possible to have "Newfoundland [& Labrador], Nordic Canada" double (...triple?) as "Vinland", too.

- One might consider having certain Chinese provinces double for the various Warring States that most closely approximated their geographical position. (Again, my background in premodern scenarios is obviously showing...)

- Using one and the same colour for both a fascist USA and the CSA is perhaps not the wisest choice. What if one is trying to create a world that has both a CSA and a USA that goes fascist? I've seen scenarios like that before, more than once. (On a more personal note, I also think that equating a hypothetical Trump-led USA with a fascist regime and/or slavocrats is a bit over the top. If he wins next week, would everyone have to start using the "fascist USA" colour to mark the USA? A bit of an overreaction, I'd say. And in the far more likely case that he loses... why should he even be mentioned in this scheme? Far too much credit for one guy, if you ask me. But that's just my two cents.)

- This is more of a perplexed question than an observation, but what is "Jewnited States" supposed to mean? Maybe I'm missing something, but that sounds like the sort of term generally used by neo-nazis in their "Jewish conspiracy"-bullcrap. Surely that is not the goal here? Is it meant to refer to an alt-Israel in North America or something?

- More of a spelling issue, but "Phoenicia" is misspelled as "Phonecia". (...SENTIENT TELEPHONES?!)


Anyway, I hope (some of) these observations may prove at all useful. Having been completely uninvolved, I hope this unsollicited post is not considered brusque or offensive. I write in admiration, and out of a desire to help in what little way I can.

-I'm going to add "Vinland" to Western Iceland.

-That is what I presume would happen

-There's a "Non-racist CSA" in the southern states. I'd use that in case of a Fascist USA.

-I'm not Aquagel, but I think it was supposed to be a joke about the far-right conspiracy nuts.

-Trust me, I'm not combing through all of the typos. anyway i think it gives the scheme a certain charm
 
Just wondering...is there a reason you use slimgur rather than imgur? Is there any real difference between them?
 
- One might consider having certain Chinese provinces double for the various Warring States that most closely approximated their geographical position. (Again, my background in premodern scenarios is obviously showing...)
It's entirely possible. I suggested in the previous thread having every native Chinese state, OTL or not, colored after the province their capital is in. We would do away with the "center/west/etc-based Dynastic China" and have a much more flexible system.

As far as typos go, I'd be willing to find all of them and make corrections. I just won't be able to fix the actual image, because I don't have good enough image-editing software.

I would also just like to say that I really don't like the Monarchist French color. France is traditionally blue, and it doesn't make much sense to change that. It could be a darker blue, as it is in X2 (RGB: 64, 72, 169).

Keep up the good work! I really like a lot of the pop-culture references, such as the Pokémon regions and Istanbul/Constantinople. If you have any feedback on these I'd like to hear it.

Heyo, this is some cool stuff still! I was wondering though if there'll be Native American nation colors like in TACOS.
