Administrative Units of the Romanian Imperium
- First-level Administrative Units: Provincii (provinces);
- Second-level Administrative Units: Județe (counties);
- Third-level Administrative Units: Municipii (cities), Orașe (towns) or Plășĭ (groups of villages).
The Provinces are already here, both in the previous maps and in several lists. They are here to stay.
Recently, I have almost finished the Județe. Their names may be changed if somehow is wrong or anachronistic. A complete list is almost ready.
A huge and very detailed map is almost ready. I have the map completely drawn by now, except some problematic names of several Județe.
If you want to help for the names to get more realistic, how do you prefer it?
1. Use the list (without a map). This way I will not have to correct the map later and repost it.
2. Wait for me to post the map first. This way it will be easier for you to locate the places.
Thank you.
Well... Here is the list. It is
huge. Over 30 Provinces with more than 200 Judete!
I compiled an
Excel Table and copied it into a
PNG file. If you like to have a look at the Excel file itself, just say so and I will attach it here as well (as a ZIP file of course).
It was
very complicated:
1. Look for historical Judete in Wallachia, Moldavia (including Bessarabia), Greater Romania, Transnistria, Hungary, etc.
2. Make up more Judete in the other areas of TTL Romania.
3. Look for their Capitals.
4. Check if the Capitals existed in the 17th Century!
5. Check if the Capitals were important in the 17th Century.
6. Check for archaic names.
7. Transform the names / spelling into Romanian (TTL).
8. See if everything adds up.
9. Draw the Map (the Map is
almost ready).
10. Measure their approximate area on the (very high definition) map.
11. Do a liniar interpolation of the known data from pixels into square km.
12. Convert the rest (unknown data) into square km using the same factor.
13. Convert into square miles as well (for the members in USA, Liberia and Burma
).
14. Recheck everything.
15. Make a nice Excel Table.
16. Format it.
17. Export it as PNG.
18. Optimize the huge PNG for the web.
19. Post it here.
20. Write all these...
Anyway, I am sure that some errors (probably mainly anachronisms) have still eluded me.
If you spot an error in the table, please tell me.
Thank you.
And here is the table.
I have already warned you that it is huge, have I not?
Whew.
