THICC: The Highly-Inclusive Color Code

I have two more suggestions:
- Indo-European dynasty in China (e.g. Tocharians)
- Chemical Wasteland

For Fantasy, an interesting one to include would be the UPSIDE DOWN, from Stranger Things.

Having seen THICC 2, I really do feel that going general over specific is best for science fiction and fantasy. Far as I can tell not that many people actually make fanfiction maps; more use their own creations. So no, no upside-down, no Fire Nation, no Vulcans, no New Republic. Keep everything as generic as possible.

Then I'm willing to recommend "Basic utopian" and "Basic dystopian" state as some of the colors. Which actually reminds me of Gulliver's Travels, and the categories the nations depicted within would fall under.

I'd recommend splitting the difference. There'd be generic colours, but they'd be doubled up with fanfic stuff. E.g. Adeptus Mechanicus/Church of the Broken God/Generic Machine Worshippers.

I think a better choice would be to make the generic stuff one color and then have the colors for the specific examples be variations on that color.

I use THICC 3.0 and one of the things I really like about it is that it has this system for certain regions. So if I don't like the generic Bavarian blue color or I think it doesn't contrast well with a neighboring country or even just the ocean depending on the map I use, I can pick from the twenty or so variant colors (including a few purplish colors and one greenish color, for variety).

That seems like a good strategy, but it would result in needing a whole heap of colours.

Is there schleswig-holstein? I've been looking in the North Germany and Nordic sections, but i can't find it.

Holstein is under North Germany and Schleswig is under Denmark.

I have a suggestion for a country:
European Federation (in Benelux category, belgium subcategory)
maybe it could be
European Federation / United Europe / Western European Federation
