My man
The Chilean claim isn't going to be real easy to distinguish from the Argentine claim with that color for Chile.

Presumably the same reason he didn't use the tan that's usually used for Colombia, the green for Malaysia, the brown for Spain, the blue for Denmark, the purple for India, and the pink for Oman.
He's made his own color scheme.
Iori, is the German gray supposed to be the same gray used for uncolored countries' claim lines? On that note I think since you've colored Syria you should change the gray around the Golan Heights to the same color. And don't forget to color the one Balearic island that isn't filled w/ EU blue.
The Denmark color is the same as the UCs, but yes, I use my own color scheme, the GCS, however I should add the GCS started off as an addition to the UCS as originally it simply comprised adding additional colors for countries that did not at the time have colors, eventually having a handful of established colors changed either because they were to close (Spain and Russia's colors occasionally got to close, and trying to show Russian Dominions ended-up with a color very similar to the old Spanish color) or in a few cases, like Brazil, because I disliked the existing one; the remaining differences are because people chose to use their own colors rather than the ones I originally created for countries needing them.
I don't know how the claim lines ended-up as the same color as Germany, they were'nt originally, but I've fixed it; the Syrian claim color for 2015 and 2016 was an oversight that now that you've mentioned it I've fixed; that Balearic island has two grey/land pixels, as such one is EU blue and the other the grey/land color.
The below is the updated version, which also includes the changes to Antarctica representing Chile's claim.
As an aside, I'm still unsure about what to do about the BOTs, on the one hand I could follow the Territory color procedure (I have a precise color method I use for creating Dominion, Territory and Protectorate colors using Paint.NET), but I'm wondering if maybe I should give them the Dominion color since they're highly autonomous parts that are de facto their own polities while only being loosely part of Britain.
So I came across a geocurrents post recently in which an attempt was made to more accurately map the Tokogawa Shogunate era of Japan. Somewhat surprisingly it would seem that Japan at that time was basically the equivalent of the Holy Roman Empire in constituting over 200 different entities (which would often be called "countries" by the people living in Japan at the time):

Hopefully this can help make the maps of 1600s Japan even better.

That would be because Japanese does not have as many words for different kinds of polities as English.
You should read the article. It makes it quite clear that the Japanese term traditionally used today was not the one used at the time by people in these polities themselves. It seems less to do with a lack of different kinds of words.
I'm no expert, but I think you might want to check up on the status of West Florida. I think it was disputed at that point.
Looking up on Wiki and Google Image Search got results for Ecuador and Peru Antarctic claims.
https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teoría_de_la_defrontación
Ecuador: 84°30'w -96°30'w
Above article mentions claim made by Constitutional Assembly in February of 1967
Peru: 81°20'W - 75°40'W
Additional Wiki article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Machu_Picchu_Base#Peruvian_claim
Going to look for original sources in Spanish. Interesting to learn of additional claims to Antarctica.

While Ecuador's case is more confusing, in Peru's case they did not claim anything, rather they reserve the right to officially stake a claim, which they developed preemptively.
