I really don't know the answer to this, The US and Europe should theoretically be doable, a lot of other areas lack detailed enough data to cover them properly, and would need to be drawn at least partially from non GIS sources, which is more difficult to work with and is outside my area of work.
I've been tempted to a couple of times, all of those times have been derailed by a lack of usable sources.
This, It's known for it's absurdly complex "internal" structure and it would be quite an achievement to get it mapped without any simplification.
Mapping all of the princely states of the Raj would probably be similarly complicated.

Actually it's my goal to do just that once @Alex Richards finishes the Indian Subcontinent. Though whether I will have the willpower to or find extremely accurate and precise sources for it is another.

Someone upthread mentioned this, but are you the John Dailey that made Great Lakes Earth? I loved that alt earth series. Are you thinking of making maps for future earths on VTBAM?

A friend of mine outside the board made this.
Note here that I was not sure whether or not Madagascar had 6 provinces or 22. The Overlay seems to think it's 6 and wikipedia is a bit muddled on it. Madagascar may or may not have made it's second levels first levels as well, making the third levels actually second levels but tbh idk. Either way if I'm wrong this is an easy enough fix. (The Comoros and Mayotte are done too)

I actually had a couple of countries done so far but I didn't want to at that point quadruple post, so here they are
Circle place and weird province flag country
Squiggly boi
Country whose name is a bit of a misnomer (Note that the reservoir is cut off by another tile)
Fun fact: 1/4 of all Africans live here (just first levels)
WIP rn. Namibia is incomplete because the overlays and wikipedia are not up to date.
EDIT: Oh yeah a while back a friend of mine did the overlays of a couple of countries too (don't count these as done by me).
