The Cities of Ukraine and Banat, Belgrade in like Doboj or something, Venice in Istria, Bosnia is now Dalmatia, Belgium and a half-unified Italy existing at the same time as both Poland and the Ottoman Empire, funky Germany, odd Poland, D U M M Y T H I C C Ottoman empire, that weird Austrian panhandle in Galicia-Lodomeria as an international border, and last, but not least: TRABLUSGARP*.
*I know that it's just Tripolitania in Turkish. Doesn't make it any less funny.
I'm sure I missed something that they got wrong. This map is just so fucking far beyond cursed. It's bedeviled.

The polish state in 17th century. Yes.
