Map Continuation 3 - Map 1 - Europe

I think It would be any of these nations; Gaelic League, Portugal, Union Navarre, or Kingdom of Norway. I think the most likely discoverer of these four would be Gaelic League since they would need a strong navy and maritime culture to keep their country together.
looking at the newest map I would add the Gaelic League also.
I was thinking we split Anatolia between us (Greece and Bulgaria). Greece takes the southern half, Bulgaria the northern.
I think Egypt, if it ends up being a colony, would most likely be controlled by Greece, Italy, or Bulgaria.

Union Navarre is a confederation of the following lands; Leon, Castille, Aragon, and Navarre. After being unable to remove the Moors from the Iberian peninsula and threats from nations to the north, over time these four nations came to rely more and more on each other for mutual protection. With the marriage of King Enrique III of Castile-Leon to Queen Madia of Aragon-Navarre the union became more permanent.
The Capital of the Union Navarre is located at Pamplona where the marriage of Enrique and Madia took place. Although the city of Leon has also been used as the seat of governement over the centuries.

Isn't it a naval power with a relatively small army? Wouldn't it therefore make sense for it to be mostly confined to the coast?
That is true.
Switzerland or whatever could be South German or Burgundian:

I agree that it was too uber, but as a France it's still too small. Give Provence to them wouldn't make then too giant, IMO, just about the size of Poland or Germany.
Even if it was too big before, I agree that it's now too small, specially if it is going to be a major power with a France-like size. Giving it Provence and Switzerland would be fair.What the hell?
First, I lose the south.
Secondly, I lose the western Swiss territories such as Geneva, etc. WHICH WERE IN BURGUNDY IN OTL!
EDIT: Well, I get Paris, but...
I also lose a whole nbunch of other territories. Such as the mouth of the Rhine, which was also Burgundian!
Seriously, just because in the modern day it doesn't look plausible doesnn't mean we can say the same for 1200!
Uhn, I agree here. Even if I really like this super-Occitania, it's less plausible than the burgundy state and would be just space-filling over Italy. (and the original claim of Occitania was rather small, not this giant country that it appears to be now)
A landlocked Kingdom of Savoy-Lombardy maybe? It's plausible, and specially more plausible than an Occitan or Genoan controlled one.
PS.: the burgundian borders are just roughly estimated.
I agree too, that seems more plausible.
And no, I don't think so. It appears that we are to finish the European map before moving on, and Krall still has to modify Eastern Europe, the Balkans, Iberia, Britain and Scandinavia.
In the mean time, I recommend trying to develop your country more, thinking about its capital, history and current stance on European affairs.
I like Trovador's ideas as well, myself.
Just one thing, though. Is "South Germany" going to remain known as "South Germany" or something different?
And also, I was looking through some Wiki articles and I can't seem to find a major historical city located in my territory (Sápmi. The teal/turquoise part of Scandinavia). Does anybody have any ideas?
I am sure that when the territories are sorted we can think of more 'imaginative' names
.If you can't think if a city you could technically create your own city, I think the POD is sufficiently far in the past for a different city to develop. Think of this as an emergency measure, though.

I don't really see anything too ASB about this so far.
It would be justifiable for the Catholic church not to like how these people practice christianity. Plus, at first, it would be too hard for Rome to enforce their brand until the area developes more. Its just too far north and too cold most of the year. Once it starts to become more developed tensions would rise between the two branches of christianity.

Im fine with all the ideas. Im thinking of Venice, since it probably won't be too big a player in affairs, will be more like a neutral state with a large maritime navyand a small-esque army. It'll probably be rich, as a center of bodily pleasures, and also of gambling, wines, etc. The capital will be...Venice. Where else? It will probably ally with the other Italian states, seeing as the imminent threat to it from "Italy". As to a colonial power, it will most likely be confined to wither the Med only or small castal settlements in Africa, or concessions in China or something...
Ha! If the Federation of Italy's going to be your enemy, then Venice is going nowhere, not with Italy controlling the Strait of Otranto. But then, we don't have to be enemies.
