Regarding geography: just make it random. Have few neighbour-dependent quests that only appear if, say, Ulm and Marignon start next to each other. Even if you don't go that way, don't take it too seriously. The closest we're going to get is the Map That Will Never Be, and it will never be.
If you want to be serious about I, I suggest having MA Marignon without inquisitors influence France-equivalent while LA Marignon with diabolists/inquisitors influence Spain-equivalent.

But I thought Gath was the Jewish tribes...
Random geography is a great idea. What could be done is have nations appear in clusters, so nations appropriate to be close together are always close together, but no static geography necessary. Unfortunately, I've never written a random map generation program; I wonder how dominion's works (now THAT'S getting into copyright issue). What is most likely to happen is static geography in the early stages of game development when there's also only a very few nations, and a randomizer added once there's a better fleshed out game. That will make the Map That Will Never Be, to be; too much initial ambition is what kills these things you know.
are you suggesting that Mari be stretched to fill the role of two historical entities?
