I would believe that for most, though perhaps not Yunnan. Though I suppose that, while IOTL those make up a lot of the population, they will be in enough groups that they are not a real threat to Chinese rule. You got any set ideas on how many countries are in Southeast Asia? I am guessing Thailand have not annexed what remains of Indochina, or they would have been given a mention, if only because there would be very few candidates left for being Chinese satellites if it was just them and Indonesia down there.

Sticht Utrecht and Oversticht were not seperate identities. Should be green.Barring any major issues this is the finished VT Bam Map of 1560

This is an amazing reference for us Early Modern enthusiasts, thank you so much
That map clearly depicts Lancashire's border with Chester extending further east than your map does.
I was going to ask if Iceland, the Faroe Islands, and Greenland were a part of Norway, Denmark, or Denmark-Norway here within the Federation of Scandinavia, but then I see this thing about them being rapists? This is one of those veeeery few times you hope someone misspelled the word racist.
Nice map and I don't want to be that guy, but Dnieper and Volga reservoirs and Soviet administrative borders in Russia and Kazakhstan?
Agreed but, do you have any maps showing what the rivers were like pre res?
Some additions in Central Europe, the Caucasus and the Levant.
As for Syria, I think I must explain:
Mount Lebanon and surrounding regions are Maronite Catholics. Melkite Catholics (i.e. Antiochian Rite Catholics who split from Antiochian Orthodox) can be found in areas adjacent to the Maronite Heartland plus the region to the east of Goaln Heights. Syriac Catholics can be found in Palmyra (blue), while Chaldean Catholics in the southern outskirts of Damascus
Antiochian Orthodox can be found in Damascus and the Syrian littoral (teal)
Syriac Orthodox can be found chiefly in Hasakeh province (northeast Syria) and two enclaves in central Syria to the northwest of Palmyra.
Assyrian Church of the East only in one small enclave in NE Syria.
Armenian Orthodox can be found along the Euphrates river from Aleppo all the way to the Iraqi border, plus the town of Kessab near Antioch plus two place in Lebanon.

Is "Post-Napoleonic" a thing?
I wanted to go for a mix of Napoleonic and 1920s borders. Not a lot of lore, but Prussia and Austria lose again, Russia sits out and is left alone, and the Electors of Saxony maintains their rule over Poland.

Really interesting how you can see the really old Prussian border (with the gap in the middle of what later became East Prussia).

From my own efforts, I think this border's closer - ignore Manchester eating a bit of Cheshire.
So how did New France and New Spain get together and also gain the Pink Map?
Slovakia was pretty quick, just needed to check the prevalent religion in areas with irreligious majorities. But Hungary (!) was very challenging.Good God... How long did Hungary and Slovakia take you?
On the other hand Georgia and Lebanon were very quick to map, not mentioning Armenia
Shame Austria isn’t called the Kingdom of Bohemia here. What is withthe German-French border? I know the little loop did happen, but the much straighter lines nearby it seem too deliberately down to be a mistake, but I cannot imagine why people would put borders like that. How Romania end up with Transcarpathian Ruthenia? Did Transylvania join with Moldavia and Wallachia early on as an equal member and retain or regain control of it?
My thinking was that Austria is the remnants of the "Habsburg Empire" but they might indeed switch their primary title to be Bohemia.
The Franco-German border I copied from a Wikipedia map of Napoleonic France at its height. Territories in northern Germany were lost, but I left the Rhenish border as it was. I don't know the details of it.
Romania was formed by Wallachia taking Moldavia and then invading the Habsburgs in the middle of a civil war to get Transylvania. Transcarpathian Ruthenia was taken as the historical province of Maramaros but i didn't do the borders quite right.
