Cute. Very cute.

A sea monster popping its head out of the Atlantic Ocean would give it a very distinctive & classy touch. Hmmm, and maybe a Siren in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea?

Looks great!

Fiddly feedback:

I hope some of those Alpine provinces are impassable, such as the unnamed mountain areas directly north of Milan and Venice. I would have made the Alps a pretty major obstacle, mostly impassable except in a couple of places.

Having Sahara so large is going to give it the unexpected side effect of making it fast to cross. I guess it will have zero supplies, though, so it will only be fast for those with their own supplies or a willingness to catch the plague.

There seem to be fewer forests than I would expect in Germany.

It hasn't been set with provinces yet. So chokepoints can be made. As far as the general province layout is what I'm looking for. More Forests in Germany would probably be nice. I can mod them in.

Very beautifull, but it challenge my geografical knowledge, were do you take th idea of the map.
If it is historical (wich one can suppose), in wich year would it have been so?

.. and you may want to check some of the names' locations .. maybe they are a bit off, or the map is distorted in some strange way ...
