Gandalf had one of his crazy maps available that was 1495 provinces. It was titled "MegaMap". It was the largest random map that I had in my maps folder so I used it as a gauge.
If my findings are accurate, then yes, 36277 would have to be trimmed.
I hope that when JK returns from his overseas invasion that he can confirm this map line limit and maybe he will even graciously find that changing a single constant somewhere in the code (in a future patch
) will greatly increase the ceiling out of the kindness of his great big programming heart.
