Is the Map thread really the best spot for this debate?
A topical choice of state today - but I'll admit the weird electoral geography caught my attention more than the holiday did.
I've never seen this done with multi-member districts before, so I'm sure it's a great idea.
these maps are great! very clear, readable, and unique enough to set them apart from other electoral mapsA topical choice of state today - but I'll admit the weird electoral geography caught my attention more than the holiday did.

People saying Turkey/the Ottoman Empire isn't Asian but European in 3...2...1...snip
Turkey got double counted in this map and my earlier Europe map. It belongs in Europe because of the Edirne capital, and also Asia because of Ankara/Bursa capitals.People saying Turkey/the Ottoman Empire isn't Asian but European in 3...2...1...

Most Recent Asian Sovereignty
Originally, I was going to do all the sub-continents of Asia separately as Europe, East Asia, South Asia, and West Asia. However, East and South Asia were not very interesting by themselves, so I lumped them all together with the West as Asia minus Europe and North Asia. By excluding North Asia, China can have a unique color as "trans-continental".
Sinai should be Israeli. Depends how official the annexation and occupation was. Did the Ottomans ever actually get that far into Ethiopia or was it one of the other Caliphates? I think Armenia should get the Nagarno place since they de facto have had it ever since independence. If people went with the territorial claims of Azerbaijan then I don’t know if there would still be a square foot of Armenian land anywhere. Very ambitious and irredentist goals. Also, Tuva used to be independent. And on your thing about the capital of the Ottoman Empire. When Ankara became the capital wasn’t that just Turkey, with the Sultan still in Istanbul before being given the boot? Either way, they didn’t half all the Balkans then.View attachment 546844

The Abbasids capital was almost exclusively in Iraq.Iraq for Abbasids? Since Damascus was the Umayyad capital shouldn't Andalusia be Syria coloured instead of Iraq? Also what are those colours in Georgia and Azerbaijan?

Yes Abbasid capital was Baghdad. Umayyad capital however was Damascus and I am pretty sure Abbasids never controlled Andalus.
