Fantastic, here is the modified version, with it expanded inland and German Tripolitania.
I am tempted to create an empire that stretches from Tripoli to Maputo, but I'll wait a bit.

Here's my preliminary claim in Africa for the Gaelic Empire. I didn't want to be an ass and take the entire British Cairo-Harare corridor, but if you think it's more plausible, I will.
Btw, for the eastern border for Egypt, it's probably not accurate, but it's supposed to follow the Nile River, but 50 miles east, to allow for the Burgundian Canal Zone.

Burgundy is, no doubt, going to have a sizable chunk of Africa. The biggest or second biggest, most likely. It is not going to let the Gaelic Empire have that much land right next to its very VERY important canal.
Uhnn, Krall said in the beginning that this map is for suggestions, not claimings, so I grabbed a little land from other claimings for the Colonial Possessions of the Padanian Confederacy. They are the Congo mouth, Bissagos archipelago in Guinea-Bissau, Sherbro island in Serra Leone, São Tomé and Principe, the cape of Good Hope, genoan Tunis, Socotra island, some Gold/Ivory coasts and northern Zanzibar.
As they are primarly a commercial league, there are mostly trade posts.
(I've not added the Gaelic claims)

OK, Burgundy has to posted its claims with its shade of purple.
The combination of colors, so far, on the map are hurting my eyes.

Me too. From what I have seen Germany and Navarre have plenty to gain from co-operation. against certain common foes
I have been looking into what possible alliances could be. As of yet Europe can easily be divided into two camps, Burgundy and Portugal on one and Navarre and North Germany on the other. Seem okay?

It's possible.
There doesn't appear to have been a Great War analogue ITTL yet. Perhaps we're building up to one, massive world war?
I am sure we will work out alliances when we get there, when I am not sure but we will.
By the by, Krall, I noticed that your Portuguese Empire has some startling similarities to your German Africa map for your TL-181 series. Any inspiration?

I suppose, I do know more about the areas from my German Africa map than other areas of Africa, so it's probably best that I stick to those areas.
I am not criticising your choices, I was just curious if you had noticed or not.

I know you weren't criticising my choices, I didn't think I sounded like I thought you did.

Sorry, but how would Germany get Libya? I think at least most of it should go to Italy. My mostly minimal Italy suggestion:
I don't see a map.
Provided that "Ethiopic Kingdom" is only TTL's English name for the country and not the native name for said country, yes.
Mind if I mess with those borders a bit?
I knew you would come up with that complaint. Yes, Ethiopic Kingdom is only TTL's English name. I hadn't come up with a native name at the time, but I've just decided to use it's modern native name, Ītyōṗṗyā, if that's alright.
