Here's a tip for anyone wanting to make Worlda maps: DO NOT erase the de facto borders when showing an area in revolt.
Once upon a time it was convention to do that, but it certainly looks better the way it is now.
I think it's a terrible idea to erase the de jure border.
These maps with imperial outlines seem to be a solution in search of a problem. Besides being confusing and redundant they are also inconsistent (for some reason only the British and German empires get this treatment whereas the French empire is kept on the original standard of not outlining French protectorates with the French colour and instead letting the French protectorate colour actually indicate that they are indeed French protectorates).
I agree, that's what I'm saying. In the (not so distant) past the convention was to show rebellions with either a solid colour (organised rebellion) or vertical lines (disorganised, more 'general' rebellion - basically where a new state/government had been declared, you went with the former, and where it was more a broad thing, you went with the latter), but it was the 'rule' under the UCS (or whatever it was at the time, I always call it the UCS) to wipe out borders in favour of the rebelling state/movement. I prefer it the new way, certainly, it helps make much more sense of the map.
I know, I was finishing up copying and pasting from another map.
we need independent greenland on the ncs because common sense. or is there a color i could use?
NCS is for OTL only. Greenland isn't becoming independent in OTL any time soon. There are a bunch of other colour schemes in the useful resources thread, which is pinned in the forum.
