I've never seen a version of New York with those extended claims in Maine before.

Buckinghamshire has been updated.

Eh, it's actually a really valid point. See the 1801 Act of Union stemmed from the desire to tie the island more closely to Britain by both the narrow Protestant ascendency who ruled in Ireland and the more conservative factions in Britain as Catholic Emancipation became a real possibility. The...

The West Indies perhaps?

I know that for Switzerland pretty much everything from restoring the 1798 borders, to giving Gex and the Chablais (which had been briefly conquered in the 1530s) to the Swiss, to letting France keep Geneva (and more besides) was proposed at some point.

Eckington apparently, possibly as a variation on Greensleeves. So wrong end of the county but certainly Cavendish land.

Ooh loads to process there. So Carolina is exchanged for Venezuela, and with the remainders of the Carolinan aristocracy corralled into running the place, Venezuela has a Queen over the water and the Meridians are being pushed out of Asia allowing the Feng to push back Siam. And the Duke of...

Yeah, it got taken off the basemap quite quickly but there's so many versions of stuff floating about theseadays...

Usually it turns up when you're looking up something only tangentially related.

Prince Albert as the liberal monarch of Naples is inspired. As is presumably a radical republican Piedmont that appears to be about to emerge, however briefly. It would be remiss of me if I did not mention I've actually sung second tenor in a performance of Va, pensiero. In the English...

I see what you did there. ... Me like. Tad rushed, more comments later when I've read the rest.

Very nice. I assume you couldn't find voteahare records either?

I'm not sure whether the obvious nod to Daughters of the Confederacy is an unfortunate homage, copying a catchy name or some subtle trolling.

Where on earth are these county maps coming from?

Credit Thande for this one and you should be fine. Needs a small edit to remove the star in Georgia of course.

It will be literally unreadable for anyone you're trying to present it to unless you've printed it out and displayed it physically in location.

Either you're going so detailed that you might as well present it as a series of regional maps, or the map will be too big for the level of detail included. And in any case, it's just not usefully navigable for anyone trying to read the map- just think about scrolling all the way to the bottom...

What's the asterisk in Flordia about?

Technically the third one is a modification of a basemap by... I want to say Alun Ephraim, from years ago that Thande found on the US Election Atlas site.

So approximately equal numbers for the largest city and a city outside the top three. I'm somewhat amazed a state as small as Vermont can manage to have 3 cities larger than its state capital.
