There. I got your joke(s).
That would give the Venetian a fame of treacherous slime in the eyes of the Milanese, that may come later as the base for a bitter enmity. Good Luck when the Habsburg come.
AFAIK Florence was a Guelf city (that is on the papal side) as far back as Dante Alighieri was young, meaning late 1200-early 1300. If anything, there have been several internal disputes within the papist side, even leading to civil wars.
A little map of the Latin Empire, Baldwin II reconquered Greece with the help of Charles I of Naples (, Albania, Africa and Thessalonica). The latter was the strong man of the empire till he died. The major players are now Charles II of Naples, the Knights of St. John who are nominaly vassals of King Robert I of Africa (Charles II' brother), King John II of Cyprus and the Venetians who own a bunch of islands, who are nominally part of the Latin Empire.
Nice. Have the Ottomans been butterflied? Otherwise they'll be giving the Latins some grief afore long...

My first attempt at a vector-based map as perfected by Blomma.
Not much of a PoD, besides Afghanistan being connected more closely to the Raj and Germany winning the Great War
That looks great!
I have a few things to note, though: the red borders look a bit weird in places (mainly around Afghanistan, where it looks like there's a bright red dotted line on a dark brown/red line), and it appears that the borders of the map are showing through Sri Lanka at the bottom.There's also something strange with the text in some places. There are a few places where text overlaps where it doesn't need to (like where "British Raj" overlaps with "Burma", or "Orissa" overlaps with "Cuttack", or "Jubbulpure" overlaps with "Central Province"), which makes it look rather messy. The several different sizes, opacities, and typefaces of the names of the different provinces, presidencies, and princely states seem very inconsistent. And the labels on the ocean are much paler than they need to be - they aren't near any other more important text, and making them a bit more opaque shouldn't distract from the more detailed and colourful land.
So, yeah. You've got the look and the style down - you just need to work on some of the details.
This (still unfinished) map was originally going to be my MotM entry, but since then I have came up with a better idea.
Basically, In 1962 the Pied Noirs (with the help of the French Foreign Legion and OAS) manage to establish a nation in Western Algeria after negotiations to peacefully partition Algeria between the natives and settlers fail.

A WIP of the southern portion of the Salterian Continent just before it's discovery by Cristobal Colon.
The Magenta country is the Empire, comprised of nine Kingdoms united under fealty to the King of the Kingdom of Mesico. The nine Kingdoms are: Mesico, Oskan, Thumbri, Warde, Pardisia, Northend, Maya, Costa, and Corne.
The Greenish nation is the Island Federation of Platonia, a power that controls the seas and is ruled by the Platos People who have an illustrious slave trade.
The Maroon nation in the Southern Continent is a horde empire of the Dar-Kri.
Slightly based on Game of Thrones.

Looks nice, R. (Artistically rather than situationally: much ethnic cleansing was involved, I'd assume.)
Anyone have any comments on my map for Chipperback before it vanishes into the previous page?

Whoops, didn't quote BMunro. Oh well. Very well done map. What's the deal with the land-of-improbably-straight-lines? and why are the borders different on the other map? How does north American politics work? seems like it would be pretty complicated, or else maybe in an EU-sort of thing. I mean, they do have the same cultural background/history of common governance. Overall another excellent map.
