The NextGen OTL Worlda Series

You're right, there's a lot of patches that should be integrated into the maps.
Keep the microstates. The alternative is insinuating that they don't exist at all.
I've tried to incorporate as many patches as I can. Many of the ones farther back are for earlier versions of the worlda and have been later improved upon. When I was going through and doing the 5.0 revisions, I'm fairly certain I incorporated as many as I could. If there are any in particular you're referring to, lemme know.
I've gone back and forth on microstates. It's an unfortunate limitation of the WorldA's size, and they do add a bit of clutter. Ultimately I decided to keep theml; as Snowstalker said, removing them would suggest they didn't exist at all.
On the topic of patches, how many of you are familiar with GitHub? I was considering making a repository for the NextGen Maps to facilitate collaboration on the project. I've recently discovered the desktop app not only allows you to compare changes in text files, but image files as well, which is incredibly useful. It would also allow people to keep better track of updates. I already host all of the NextGen maps on a GitHub Pages site, so I could add others as collaborators on the project, and allow people to make branches which I could then review.
If anyone is interested, let me know.

The white on those maps isn't white, it's a slightly off-white, which is kind of annoying.
Also, I didn't realise it until now, but why are countries like Andorra, Leichtenstein, Albania, and so on, getting colours now?
While NCS doesn't aspire to be a completely all-inclusive scheme like TOAST3RS, I still want it to include (at a minimum) colors for (almost) all countries existing in the present day, as well as colors for frequently present countries throughout history. Albania has been around (in some form or another) for quite some time historically, so I felt it natural to give it a color. Andorra and Leichtenstein don't have unique colors, but use those of other countries (Andorra has the color of junior spain, etc).
Fair enough - I think it only caught me off guard because I'm used to seeing more white in Europe on Worlda maps.
Why was it changed from rectangular which can be re-centred easily and allows for transposing along the same latitude without distortion to this projection?
Do you have the links to rectangular so that the map isn't so eurocentric and can be centred elsewhere?
It was changed because the old worlda looked like trash. Maybe talk to the equalA people, they seem to have a mathematical projection that can work well for non-Eurocentric maps.
