Did the Dutch have any other land reclamation projects that never came to be IOTL?
Here's one I posted earlier.
This may have been posted before, but here's another plan for the draining of the Zuider Zee.
Has anyone attempted to map the Ukrainian claims from 1919 Paris Conference onto the Q-Bam yet? If they have I cannot find it.

The 1915 Treaty of London provided for an 'optional' partition of Albania between Greece, Serbia, and Montenegro, with the rump 'Islamic State of Albania' becoming an Italian protectorate.

"Accordingly, on April 26, 1916, the first anniversary of the Treaty of London with Italy, France and Russia signed the secret Sazonov-Paléologue Treaty concerning their respective territorial rights in Asiatic Turkey. Russia was awarded full sovereignty over the vilayets of Trebizond, Erzurum, Bitlis, and Van, a vast area of 60,000 square miles (about one and one-fifth times the size of the State of New York), containing valuable mineral and petroleum resources. This handsome prize put Russia well on the road to Constantinople and in a fair way to turn the Black Sea into a Russian lake. And at the moment the treaty was signed the armies of the Grand Duke Nicholas were actually overrunning the territory which Russia had staked out for herself."

Unfortunately I can't read Bulgarian. Is that a restored 'Republic of Ragusa' in southern Dalmatia?
I'm going to guess from the text and the colour that it's territory to be given to Montenegro.
This map has more or less the same information, but in Italian:
Thank you. Oh, well...I'm going to guess from the text and the colour that it's territory to be given to Montenegro.

It's just that the coastal area involved looks more-or-less in he right place and for some reason I like the idea of a surviving Ragusa.
I've run the sentence under google translate, and I was correct. It appears to be written in Macedonian rather than Bulgarian according to its "detect language" feature, and reads: "Territories that would be annexed by Montenegro"
The Italian map says it's to be divided between Serbia and Montenegro which makes more sense
The Bulgarian/Macedonian map makes a distinction between the coastal part promised to Montenegro and the area around the northern fringe of Albania "about which Serbia and Montenegro will talk", AIUI.
