1492
We pretty much just need to add the HRE states and that's about it.Here's an older map of the world in 1492 with more detail in Europe, if it helps. Many of the borders are slightly different from Boris's map, though.

Where is this map?Yes, there is a map of WWII, but before Operation Barbarossa and not during the Battle of Moscow : if it's more easy, a map of Europe should be enough.

Moscow should not own Kolguyev Island either.I started a version with subdivisions last night. So far I have Portugal, Spain, France, the Empire, and Poland done.
New version of 1492 with internals for:
-Iroquois
-Aztecs
-Muisca
-Inca
-Scotland
-Norway
-Sweden
-Denmark
-Portugal
-Spain (keeping it here since I count 1469 as the unification year)
-France
-HRE
-Poland
-Livonia
-Ottomans
-Korea
-China
May I ask, where did you find the province/eyalet info for the Ottoman empire? I looked around a bit for that stuff in that timeframe, but could only find info for eyalets in the 1500s onwards. Also, what's going on with Mexico and Cuba? I haven't seen that characterization of those lands on a 1400s map before.

Where did you get that from? I can’t find anything on itArmorica (Brittany) wasn't completely bust at the time. It was under the Authority of the Kingdom of Cornwall, possibly under some King Drustan, which may be the historic figure behind the literary Tristan.
The whole "Tristan and Iseult" thing may be the attempt to establish an alliance with the Kingdom of Meath in Ireland, later transposed as a retelling of the classic love story of Diamart and Grainnè

Would you consider them just a tribe or an organized government? That’s really what makes it have color and/or borders on these mapsWorlds of Arthur by Guy Halsall, Oxford University Press
The actual extent of the Cornish "Mark" is however open to debate. It could take only the westernmost tip of the Armorican peninsula, which is called Carnouaille, while the rest was possibly divided between two or three kingdoms.
If I said more, I'd step out of actual historic fact and slip into legend and speculation, so, in doubt, s Minor Celtic or Minor Gaulish outline may do.

I’ll patch it with the Aztlanhistorian patchesThat's the big question, as anything resembling an organized government was falling into chaos.
According to later and rather confused lore, and recent archeological discovery, there was at least an attempt to maintain a government structure in the form of tribal alliance and the careful repurposing of old Roman "Technology" (mostly pottery and silverware).
However, even in Roman times some local chieftains and stranded Generals tried to make up for the waning Imperial presence by organizing on their own; the most famous example was Macsen Wledig (High King Macsen) who was actually the Roman General Magnus Maximus. The Cornwall-Meath attempted alliance could be another example.
In light of this, I'd consider Armorica as close to a failed state trying to hold a government together, sort of like a post-colonial African state today. I suggest gray outlined with the Cornish color.
