I assume that the next comic shows him shaming all the native African groups who were selling people into slavery.
You have good eyes spotting that sir
It's Testerep Island which OTL was reconnected with the rest of the coast because of dropping sealevels in the early Medieval Period. I like to include it as a easter egg, among other things

Alright, so this is probably a little bit of a longshot, but...would someone mind helping me with my map? If you've read my Star Trek story, Khan Victorious, you'd know that the Eurasian Union (the big green superstate that dominates all of Asia on the map in the spoiler below) is meant to be divided into a series of precincts, which are areas comprised of an equal amount of population. The only problem is that I am absolutely awful with numbers and this kind of statistics work, and didn't even try to do such a thing for the knowledge that I would absolutely positively mangle the thing.
Would anyone mind pointing me in the right direction in that regard, and telling me which font people tend to use for these sorts of things? I wanted to put more text on the map, but I wasn't sure which font would be best and the exact sizing of it either, so anything like that would help a great deal Mind the typos, since I intend to tweak this thing a little bit more - the worst one is for mapfact (?) number 3, which completely changes the meaning of the sentence; the FRCA was the only Augment supporting nation in the Americas during the war, not the only one in the world

Regarding fonts, I will say only this...
1) Ideally, you want it to be a sans-serif font. Those fonts are easier to read at smaller font sizes.
2) That said, you really shouldn't go smaller than 10-point font size, unless your intention is to persuade people not to read the text due to it being too small to comfortably read.
3) For the love of all that you consider numinous in the multiverse, do not use comic sans.
4) Also, try to avoid monospace fonts unless you are going for a very specific look (i.e., imitating a Cold War era typewriter).
5) There are a lot of "display" fonts, which look good as a header, but are tiring to read entire paragraphs. Avoid them (except as headers).

Such a crazy thing to see the Congolese flag there. Gigantic nation, huge population, *enormous* amount of untapped natural resources, and yet...
You mean the chaps who needed to sell slaves to Europeans to get the guns to keep themselves from being sold into slavery? Europeans slave traders, like good businessmen and drug pushers in all times, knew how to create a need.

But whatabout but whatabout but whatabout! That doesn't excuse anything. Along with those European nations, though, should be the North African and Middle Eastern successors of the Arab slave trader states, who enslaved Africans from a larger area of Africa and over a much longer period of time.
New map WIP (You can guess from the title what that entails)
Spanish March?
...you seem to be a bit scatterbrained on your WIP's, no offense.
I advise you, try to focus on finishing one before moving on to others.
HERESY! Gian-ic maps are always welcome.
However, it would be nice if they were finished in good order.
