The Lenape would be a worthwhile inclusion. Plus territories for the Five Civilised Tribes.
Thanks.By all meansthis is a collaboration after all.
Fire away. I am currently in the process of redoing my map, anyway. I wasn't that happy with it.
BTW - I did include the Lenape on my original map. It was that orange-y blob in eastern Pennsylvania. I will make a few changes for the next version.
Upper Nile Presidency (Atzyn)
Next up, the Upper Nile Presidency (not too happy with this name but couldn't come up with anything else):
Labels:
Districts are less autonomous but have more political organisation, Organised Areas have very loose central authority and de facto more autonomy, and Abayudaya is a district populated by the eponymous Jewish ethnic group in Uganda, which has full autonomy concerning religious matters.

Anyway, version three. I hope that it is easier to see boundaries between colonies here. This is still very much a WIP.
Please keep issuing constructive criticism and suggestions.

This is great and fitted in perfectly...... once I'd worked out where! Doh
Maybe some sort of Black Belt autonomous area could be possible.
Thought the 5 civilized tribes protectorates should have priority over that.
Uganda northeast of the main Buganda area, I think.
Given that I have included an autonomous Amish country, and Welsh Tract, that's probably fair. I will need to look into that further.
Is everyone OK with me listing Acadia as a "religiously autonomous area"? Apart from just making it a palatine county, I couldn't think what else to call it.
Given France is part of the Seven Crowns, I can't see the Acadians being dispersed ITTL, unless they are specifically disloyal. Have we decided what is going to happen in regards to Catholicism/Anglicanism ITTL? Maybe some kind of Ceasaro-Papism? Is there a reunification (partial or otherwise) with the Eastern Orthodox Church(es)?
They should be incorporated in the next update. That's probably going to be tomorrow, however.

Here are some thoughts for the Mid-Atlantic and Newfoundland:
I'm not too clear on what changes have been made to New England...
I will keep those in mind.Here are some thoughts for the Mid-Atlantic and Newfoundland:
I've redrawn Maine and New Brunswick, and combined the area into a single dominion of New England.
What happened to the County Palatine that was in the southeast corner of New Hampshire?
After some thought, I decided to just get rid of it - it was basically just the distinction between "The bit where people live, and the bit where there is literally just two guys and a dog".
Okay then.After some thought, I decided to just get rid of it - it was basically just the distinction between "The bit where people live, and the bit where there is literally just two guys and a dog".
Also, a idea I have for Acadia as that its government can a combination of "religiously autonomous area" and palatine county.
In addition to that, there could probably be an autonomous Gullah nation around South Carolina.
It would also be a missed opportunity in my opinion to not include a surviving Powhatan nation within Virginia.
Spoiler warning, but the final draft of my map will include both of these.
I'd personally still argue for an Anglicanism that remains under the Catholic umbrella, as with a literally global empire it would make sense for the Church to remain as one entity rather than splitting up. An idea I had more generally for Christianity is that while it is united under Catholicism, the Church as a whole is much more decentralized, with many localized rites continuing to exist instead of being done away with by the Council of Trent. So in addition to the Latin Rite of OTL and the Eastern Catholic Churches, there are also other surviving rites such as the Gallican and Mozarabic Rites that are widespread, which is where this "Anglican Rite" would fall under. If we don't have the Reformation happen, it could still be possible to have some Protestant ideas come about as intellectual traditions within the Church; for example, while Calvinism may not exist, there may be movements within the Church that believe in total depravity and predestination like OTL Jansenism, which could further make the Church resemble Anglicanism (in that there's a variety of theological perspectives) while still being Catholic. That being said this would probably have its limits - I don't see much room for Evangelicalism within the Catholic Church - but it could still be interesting while also making sense within the setting.
Really impressive work, but I think that the Merle people live north of where you have them, and the Kisii people should probably with the Luhya be part of the Great Lakes grouping.
As for what to call your polity, how about Luoland?
Also, why are some Maasai areas included and not others?
