Can I vote for historical patches prior to subdivisions? BTW how do you do this? I wanted to make something like this with an Antarctica and arctic view
Also, what exactly did you have in mind for historical patches?

Well probably by order of population, 1939, 1914, 1500, 0? I guess it depends whether people use these maps more for looking at countries subdivisions in 2020 or for historical timelines and editing them from there

I made it using QGIS and Paint.NET.
Do you have video showing that? I tried using QGIS before but it's complex
 
Canadian territories should probably be shown with a different color as per the typical coloring. Same goes for North Australia and the US Territories.
What color scheme is being used here?

version 1.6
Changelog:
  • Thanks to Frank Hart for catching my Greenland error - the missing municipality of Qeqertalik has been added.
  • Added first-level subdivisions for France, Italy, Spain and Saudi Arabia, and the regions of Japan (the map's size does not permit me to add the prefectures).

And by the way, @tungsterismapping, the dark colour is used for all autonomous annexed territories - Russia's republics, autonomous okrugs and the Jewish Autonomous Oblast, in this case.
 
version 1.8

version 1.8
Changelog:
  • Added first-level subdivisions for Ukraine, Iran, Niger, Malaysia and Sudan.
  • After much deliberation, Russia's autonomous okrugs and the JAO are now coloured using the lighter colour, as in other base maps.

And why is that a problem?
most of us don't bother deleting borders one by one if we want to have a blank map, because most maps allow you to select a single color and change only that. But if the color of the coastline is the same as the color of the borders, you can't delete the borders easily without deleting the coastline.

Finally managed to bite the procrastination bug long enough to get an update out.

version 1.9
Changelog:
  • Due to popular demand, and to bring this basemap into line with the others, coastlines have been change to a very dark blue, rather than black.
  • Lakes Titicaca and Nicaragua have been added.
  • Coloured Russia's republics using the lighter shade to show their autonomy.
