I like the first two; we could run either of those at some point. I'm a little leery of the third one - the name is cute, but it seems like a pretty specific subject. I'd want to be sure there were several people interested in entering before running that one.

Can the black sheep be a group of multiple technically first level divisions but that form a clearly defined distinct region within a larger country

Sure, I'll accept pretty much anything short of an entire independent country.

Could the region in question be a Constituent state similar to what goes on in the U.K.?

FWIW, I have an idea I like for "Rock the Casbah."

Is it "contiguous US" to avoid Hawaii, Alaska and [potentially] Puerto Rico?

I have broadened @aaa's original suggestion to include non-US countries, so that no longer applies.

Oh... The map I'm working on is also of Florida. The POD and overall "black sheepness" is different, but even so, now I don't know if I should post it to the contest

Oh, if you... need my permission or anything, it's completely fine! Honestly you could've had a similar POD as mine (even though mine is technically undefined) and I wouldn't mind at all! Even with a similar premise, I know our maps would be different, and that's all that matters to me!!
Good luck, you probably got this in the bag!

I appreciate your blessing. I'll see what I'll do, and blame this issue on either great minds thinking alike or simply Florida being the platonic ideal for a black sheep State

About a day left for anyone planning to enter MotF 223!

I always like seeing maps of Montana, regardless of the theme, but... Four representatives feels darn near ASB.

Meh, I wanted it to be more interesting lol, we could have an expanded House ITTL or something

Unlike Any Other: Create an election map (optionally, an accompanying wikibox) depicting an election taking place under a unique/novel system

 

[Prince di Corsica]

Again, if this has been done before, I apologise

The Map Before Time: depict a region during prehistoric (or protohistoric) times

It could be fun, perhaps a bit challenging, but interesting to see what people come up with in what is likely the technically broadest challenge yet. It could also be limited a bit more if it's preferred, but yeah, prehistoric map.
