Hello! I'd just like to comment that Lleida is not correctly placed ingame, as it is not part of the autonomous community of Aragón, but instead it is part of Catalonia.

The Manicouagan reservoir is mapped in it's current form, but it was manmade in the 1960s. The reservoir was much smaller during Victoria 3.
I don't know if it has been mentioned but Saint-Pierre and Miquelon should be a thing on the map

Yes, Venice is indeed an island. However, the cities shown an the map are many times bigger than real life(I’m not sure the exact scale), so even if Venice the island exists, the city model would have covered it. Of course, the island could be upsized, but it’ll look just as worse as eu4 or ck3 Venice. Alternatively the city could be downsized, which would look very weird compared to other cities nearby. And, to be fair, Venice did have a continental part, Mestre, which eventually grew larger than Venice proper itself.It was already known for quite some time in 1836 that Venice was not a coastal city but an island!

I agree but having at least a little island part to the city, but still with the coastal part extending, would be a better representation than coastal-only.

Agriculture and Resources in Spain are very wrong. A lot of the most crazy things are already pointed out, like missing coal in Asturias or bananas in the Canaries, but there are a lot of resources that shouldn't be there aswell. Tobacco, Cotton? It's pretty ridicolous to think about. Those came from Cuba, which by the way should be Unincorporated Territory at most, for sure not a Puppet. Same with Philippines.
98% sunni 2% catholic Melilla is a complete joke, almost backwards, and Ceuta is missing (although maybe intended).
Would be cool to see a volcano representing Teide in Tenerife.
Gibraltar "the State" is 10,000% its real size but we are used to that.
Gibraltar "the city" is this
while Salamanca is this
according to Paradox.
Salamanca (Castile State) should have a University by the way. If you want Spain to only start with 1 University remove the one in Toledo.
States could be shaped better. Some good examples in previous posts.
If you don't reshape them at the very least least call Badajoz Extremadura please.
Some selections of which cities to represent are pretty weird. La Felguera instead of Oviedo or Gijón in Asturias, Costa Adeje instead of Santa Cruz in Tenerife, Telde instead of Las Palmas in Gran Canaria.
Loving the game mechanics and having a lot of fun, makes me think about the game even when I'm not playing it, but I just can't play as Spain, it makes me mad to see so little work put into it. Not sure if other countries have the same problems but at least I'm more ignorant about them.

The town of Stafford in the state of New Jersey should either be renamed to Toms River due to similar geographic location & county seat of the area which was founded in 1850. Or be renamed to Freehold which was the original county seat of the later split counties between freehold(monmouth county) and toms river(ocean county). This map details New Jersey in 1836, which is kept at Rutgers University https://mapmaker.rutgers.edu/NJ_1836 Squire.jpg

southern manchuria is landlocked and a natural harbor. Besides that the dutch provinces are a bit off and catholics dont seem to exist in brabant.
The port of mazatlan, in the state if sinaloa,mexico is way to much to the north. Its actually to the south of the state.
For Spain...
Historically industrialization was focused in 3 regions: Asturias (coal production) and Basque Country and Catalonia (actual factories).
In Vicky 3, Asturias in Asturias is not possible to build coal mines, and Catalonia and Navarra have debuffs making harder to build stuff there.
So not a map thing per se, but of modifiers on it.

Rio Grande do Sul and Santa Catarina should be mostly Platinean culture as they were Gauchos, same people as Uruguay and northern Argentina. They were brazilianized after the Ragamuffin War.
Swiss culture should not exist at all, it should be predominantly South German with corresponding percentages of French and North Italian.

I get why they do this, but it's always kind of annoying they do it at the same time they have massive overarching cultures elsewhere in the same region. And especially since large chunks of Switzerland were only annexed during and after the Napoleonic Wars so would not have that same identity by 1836 to what extent such a thing could be said to have existed.

ideally the eastern side of the state of Victoria should be far more forrested, and the great dividing range mountains should extend all the way down to Melbourne.
Ideally the port should also be somewhere closer to melbourne, irl would be Williamstown or Sandridge (Port Melbourne). irl 'Port Albert' is a tiny coastal town that would be a bad location for a port. Victoria should have a much larger supply of gold resource too given how big the Victorian gold rush was in the 1850s
The trade route into the Victoria state also would make way more sense historically to be come from the node closer to europe, Melbourne is still Australia's largest port because of the roaring 40's trade route coming across the Indian Ocean

The Swiss national identity is not a cultural one and this is something PDX consistently whiffs on. Acceptable in systems like EUIV where the German cultural region is more specified and includes Swiss, but not acceptable when Swiss is designed as an entirely distinct culture.

Even if we accept that it's a civic identity, I still think it's kind of silly to think that associates and random neighbors they annexed just a few years earlier are going to have the same feelings as someone in Bern instantaneously.
Pennsylvania should be coastal, and therefore have the ability to have a port and a naval base.
"All told in the eight years from 1847 through 1854, over 120,000 immigrants arrived in Philadelphia, now the nation's fourth largest immigrant port. The total for 1853 alone 19,211 exceeded the total for the entire decade of the 1820s." - Historical Society of Philadelphia
"Philadelphia original navy yard, begun in 1776 on Front Street and Federal Street in what is now the Pennsport section of the city, was the first naval shipyard of the United States. It was replaced by a new, much larger yard developed around facilities begun in 1871 on League Island, at the confluence of the Delaware and Schuylkill rivers. The Navy Yard expansion stimulated the development over time of residential and businesses in South Philadelphia, where many shipyard workers lived."- Philadelphia Naval Shipyard WIki
The reason Philadelphia became such a central hub in America, and also why it had such a large immigrant population, comes from the fact that it was and still is a major port city. While it does technically have access via "rivers" - it is functionally a natural harbor.

a) Add severe Malaria (The same as in Papua) to Vanuatu, the Solomons and Bougainville
b) West Micronesia should start as part of the Spanish Philippines. Those Islands had been Spanish since around 1600.

-"A Coruña"/"A Corunha" (native galician-portuguese) instead of "La Coruña" (foreign spanish/castillian naming), specially if playing as independent Galicia, "Ourense" (galician-portuguese) instead of "Oresnse" (spanish/castillian).
-Also could be an interesting addition the (astur)-Leonese culture in iberia.
-Giving Alicante and Murcia areas, currently in Valencia region to Toledo (Castilla-la-Mancha/-la-Vieja) region, making instead Valencian region of full catalonian culture
-Giving Cantabria area to Castilla region, and Leonese area to asturias region (making it asturleonese in culture)
-In the formable nations is currently iberia, could be interested adding also "Great Galicia/Great Portugal/Portugalicia/Galician-Portuguese confederation", actually existing nationalist unification idea since 18th century with medieval precedents in what is called by historiography the "Atlantic Party", what was the origin of the anglo-portuguese alliance with some main heads in the Count Andeiro (who set the basis of the anglo-portuguese alliance), Ferdinand I of Portugal, Castro Dynasty, Pedro I of Portugal, Black Prince etc. In modern to contemporary eras this unification project is comonly refered as reintegrationism, specially with support around nationalism, romanticism period and later intellectuals as José Rodrigues Miguéis, Afonso Lopes Vieira, (during a short period was even supoorted by some sector of the Salazar goverment), Eduardo Pondal, Teixeiral Pascoaes and much more.
The region suggestions try to have some cultural-historical sense despite game ones that have some hard to understand basis as cannot find neither historical, neither cultural basis to support.
-Out of iberia, maybe adding some coptic egyptian culture minority in egypt could be really beautiful
As seems that some of those suggestions (cultural ones) are overviewed normally due spanish political conservative views I'll document it properly, and adding maps of the suggestions.
about a coruña/a corunha name - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Coruña , and for something more serious http://ilg.usc.gal/xelmirez/xelmirez_contexto.php?idf=109171&idt=26&procura=crunna&corpus=notarial , http://ilg.usc.gal/xelmirez/xelmirez_contexto.php?idf=109571&idt=26&procura=crunna&corpus=notarial , and lot more but is quite stupid deffend what is the native name of A Coruña.
about astur-leonese (as language)- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asturleonese_language
ethnographically they are quite near galicians and portugueses, being the language also quite near as well but not that much to be cosnidered as a dialect of the galician-portuguese diasistem.
The areas they traditionally inhabited are west to east, Miranda do Douro (north-eastern portugal), Asturias and Llion, northwestern Extremadura, and western Cantabria.
about catalan/valencian/balearic culture (check the posted and any other linguistic map of iberia as well evolution of speakers) and valencia in general - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1833_territorial_division_of_Spain -1822 provincian division and 1833 historical regions decree
about map changes suggestion itself, a much more accurate division based on 1822-1833 spanish territorial reforms mantaining the same number of states as in native (so murcia gets absorved by "Toledo" (Castilla-la-Nueva), after iberian cultures inside spanish frontiers, main colour is main culture, while diagonals means significant population despite not being majority in those states), also there is aragonese culture which was just that much disappeared that just didn't add it.
-all that info can be easily checked with a quick search, so please, if "respectfully diagree", based on something
about Galicia-Portugal formable, https://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portugaliza (there is just to much info around to put even more), about the medieval origin of this project read historians as Antonio Lopez Ferreiro, Pai Sarmiento (both from game era) or modern universitary doctors and licenciate historians, Francisco Rodríguez Sánchez, Anselmo López Carreira, Carlos Barros Guimeráns, Jose Mattoso etc.
And that's a very little section of avaliable sources and documents.

Since the game starts in 1836, it's ok that Lucca is not part of Tuscany.
