Charlemagne never claimed to be Roman emperor - he was granted the title of emperor, but not Roman emperor. IIRC that part started with Charles the Fat.My take at Charlemagne's Roman Empire in 814:

Any questions and suggestions will be appreciated, there's some confusion at some areas whose info is sometimes contradictory.
Examples:
- the Pannonia March (the former Avar March) is shown usually as a vassal rather than part of the Empire, although Marches are implied to be a part of it
- Papal question: is still unknow for certain if the Papal States were a part of the empire, independent, independent but subordinated, etc
- Bohemia: at the time there wasn’t any Bohemian state nor a unified bohemian tribe, it was rather a collection of relatively similar tribes, and it can be confusing to porttait
- Eastern Germany: still the slavic tribes in the area were changing and evolving and this depiction may be inaccurate, because of the overlapping areas.
Charlemagne was specifically crowned as Imperator Romanorum as the legitimate successor to Constantine VI, and was intended as continuing an unbroken line of Emperors from Augustus to Constantine VI, the Pope having rejected the legitimacy of the Empress Irene.Charlemagne never claimed to be Roman emperor - he was granted the title of emperor, but not Roman emperor. IIRC that part started with Charles the Fat.
He was crowned as “Imperator Romanorum” (Roman Emperor) and he referred himself as “Romanum gubernans Imperium” (Emperor ruling the Roman Empire)Charlemagne never claimed to be Roman emperor - he was granted the title of emperor, but not Roman emperor. IIRC that part started with Charles the Fat.
No, his titles were “Emperor of the Christians” and “Emperor governing Rome”Charlemagne was specifically crowned as Imperator Romanorum as the legitimate successor to Constantine VI, and was intended as continuing an unbroken line of Emperors from Augustus to Constantine VI, the Pope having rejected the legitimacy of the Empress Irene.
Source for him not being crowned as Emperor of the Romans (i.e imperator romanorum)? I'm not necessarily disputing you I've just never heard about this ambiguity.No, his titles were “Emperor of the Christians” and “Emperor governing Rome”
what is that pink state bordering the swahili state?.![]()
Fixed some internals in China as follows:
Yingshan Xian: Hubei > Anhui (before 1933)
modern area of Jinzhai Xian: Anhui > Henan (before 1933)
Dangshan Xian, Xiao Xian: Anhui > Jiangsu (before 1955)
modern area of Xuyi Xian and Sihong Xian: Jiangsu > Anhui (before 1955)
Wuyuan Xian: Jiangxi > Anhui (before 1932)
part of modern Panzhihua: Sichuan > Yunnan (before 1941)
Tibetan border west of the Jinsha River (before 1933)
part of modern Weishan Xian: Shandong > Jiangsu (before 1949)
I also redrew the Sichuan-Qinghai and Shengjing-Jilin borders entirely since they looked a bit funny.
as I understand it the lands of Pannonia were still governed by the last Avar khans(and later by some Slavic princes) but from what I remember there was some at least nominal oversight, I think. at any rate marches were established by the king/emperor directly so that's why they're usually considered an "integral part" of the realm (even if the local population basically still governs it self like in the Avar march or Navarre).- the Pannonia March (the former Avar March) is shown usually as a vassal rather than part of the Empire, although Marches are implied to be a part of it
You do not have the same borders of the Ugra principalities on the original map and on your map.![]()

(take Mesoamerica with a grain of salt, I had a hard time figuring stuff out down there)
You should ask @Crazy Boris, who actually made the map.what is that pink state bordering the swahili state?.
The map reprojection you did is not very accurate thou, look at the positions of the rivers compared to those on the basemap.You do not have the same borders of the Ugra principalities on the original map and on your map.
This is what I point out in this work. I overlay the original map on @Crazy Boris's work to show they don't match.Перепроецирование карты, которое вы сделали, не очень точно, посмотрите на положение рек по сравнению с теми, что на базовой карте.

From wikipedia, “There were earlier efforts to united Jordan and Iraq in the name of Arab unity, but they had come to nothing. In particular, from an Iraqi perspective, tiny Jordan had little to offer economically or strategically and numerous liabilities.”Was there ever a plan to unite Jordan and Iraq BEFORE the Cold War's Arab Union of the Hashemites?
I know it was short lived, but was the Hashemite Kingdom also looking to unite Jordan with Hejaz?From wikipedia, “There were earlier efforts to united Jordan and Iraq in the name of Arab unity, but they had come to nothing. In particular, from an Iraqi perspective, tiny Jordan had little to offer economically or strategically and numerous liabilities.”
Perhaps looking at the source behind the quote will show a particular example, but at least this confirms the idea was at least thrown out there prior
