Part 50: Bonus: World Map - A.D 1650




Bonus: The World, Anno Domini 1650


Notables:
- Syria went from an empire to nothing in just a few decades.
- Egypt has the most screwed-up and broken-up realm I've ever seen.
- America is 90% colonized, the UK and Scandinavia are fighting over the Great Plains while Iberia is colonizing Alaska.
- Sibir is enormous, only about half their territory is shown in the 'known' world, I'm looking forward to the inevitable clash between them and Lithuania.
- I decided to go with "America" for North America and "Jadakal" for South America.
- The main reason Africa isn't too colonized is that I've ramped up the costs and difficulcies for colonizing Tropical regions, so that there will be something left to colonize come Victoria (plus it's more historical that way).
- Khiva is mislabeled as Nogai.
