corrected the Dutch-German border from Emmerich to ca. Papenburg, plus the Lauwersmeer thing.
I am still not 100% happy with the Wilsum-/Emlichheim-region (northwest of the Landkreis of Grafschaft Bentheim). I tried many ways, but it seems to be impossible to draw a really correct border.

This is more time-consuming than I thought it would be 
Done the Southern Coast of England, plus the Channel Isles.
Time for a break now. More to come later.

I have compiled everyone's progress onto one map, now due to the size I have decided to link to it instead of posting the image here.

The Level 3 borders are fine, but the Level 2 borders are too dark, and look like International borders, I would suggest something around 128,128,128 for the level 2 borders.
You used the "old" German/Dutch border.
Here`s Yours with my correction, I posted before.
I will fix NRW, Rhineland-Palatinate and Saarland later. (Maybe tomorrow) Bed time now..

I assume you are using the 2016 region boundaries for France?
I'm still doing GB. Have now done the east coast, from Kent to Orkney. Next will be the (much more awkward) west coast, followed by internal borders.
On the subject of internal borders, how does one go about doing them? For external borders simple comparison using Google Maps suffices, but I can't think of an accurate way to draw internal borders.
Completed:
Africa:
Gabon, Equatorial Guinea, Republic of Congo.
In progress:
Europe:
Germany, by Zanzibar.
France, by Upvoteanthology
Great Britain, by fluttersky
Benelux, by Pogoboy20 and J.Gouw
America:
Minnesota, Wisconsin, and the Dakotas by TheBatman
Northeastern United States by Stuyvesant

Guys.... the international borders in Europe are so terribly inaccurate, I think it`s better to draw the international borders first and maybe the provincal borders. But imo it`s too early to draw things like Landkreise, municipals etc. (light grey lines) already.
I try to re-draw the borders of Northrhine-Westphalia, Rhineland-Palatinate and Saarland and some regional borders of the Netherlands now. And maybe the borders between the Netherlands and Belgium. But it will take a little time....

Update:
I corrected the borders between NL, D and B now. Green line is my correction of yesterday, red line is the one I did now.
There are still so many mistakes on the other borders, I do not know, if I can complete that region today.
But the dark green and red lines are the most correct, I could draw.
(Please ignore the light green lines - I will work on the Dutch provinces later)

btw. why are the borders so wide/ so "stretched" drawn from that point on, where I ended drawing the light green line???? (pink circles)
This is really odd.

That's possibly an artifact of the different map projections. qbam (and by extension, mbam) use Robinson (iirc). Google maps uses Web Mercator.
The odd thing is not the general projection. The odd thing is, that the projection from the point, where the Dutch-/Belgian border touches the North Sea to the northern most tip of Rhineland-Palatinate is "normal", but from that point on, the things go strangely much "wider".
