What are you talking about? Macau does not have its own state, and except for Tsingtao and Dalian the others were not full treaty ports, they just had parts of the cities as concessions.

Incredibly relevant, but
The capital of Montenegro at that time wasn't Podgorica, but Cetinje.

So, the elephant in the room is, of course, wrong placement of the kingmaker Kraków city state.
Seriously though, both Kraków the city and the state region should be entirely on the left (northern) bank of Vistula. The river was the border with Austria, which even located a settlement directly opposite Kraków on the other side of the river and gave it trade privileges just to mess with Kraków (Podgórze or 'Underhill', nowadays it's part of Kraków).

Just a suggestion about the colour of a country. The yellow of Austria-Hungary is quite gaudy so I wonder if It could retain its previous colour for Austria or have a better colour (perhaps Red) .
I wanted to echo some earlier sentiment about the choices made with the Japanese cities. The absence of Nagasaki seems egregious given its significance in Japanese history (paritcularly during the Meiji Restoration), one of the only places Japan traded from during its period of isolation, and the home of its first ever shipbuilding and train building endeavours. The Scottish merchant Thomas Blake Glover called Nagasaki home, and while he first traded in tea and the like, he later moved on to trading in arms with the neighbouring Choshu and Satsuma clans, who formed the important Satcho Alliance which was crucial in overcoming the Tokugawa military. The Kaientai, one of the first corporations in modern Japan was a trading and shipping company founded in Nagasaki by Sakamoto Ryoma. The Nagasaki Shipyard & Machinery Works were purchased by the founder of Mitsubishi (Iwasaki Yataro) serving as part of the foundation for his organization.
Yokohama was also one of Japan's most promonent port cities of era, as well as one of the main foreign trade cities, and it had the nations first gas-powered street lights, power plant and railway station.
Matsusaka on the Kii Penninsula, which was part of Ise Province pre-restoration and Mie Prefecture post-restoration, was not a town of much significance in this era, but is representing the area on the V3 map. Ise City on the other hand is the home of Japan's holiest Shinto shrine, the Ise Grand Shrine, and it sits where Matsusaka is on the map currently. Alternatively, a little further north on that coast is Yokkaichi City, which became the capital of Mie Prefecture, and became an industrial port town trading in cotton, wool, glass, and heavy equipment during this time period.
I hope this information might be of some use. I would also like to see the Ezo Republic making an appearance in the game, a short lived separatist state established in Hokkaido by the old Tokugawa government after they had been overthrown. They were supported by French military advisors, and instituted a form of democracy.

My apologies if some of these were already mentioned.
- Deir-Ez-Zor doesn’t have the “Euphrates River” modifier, even though the river is visibly running through it.
- Southern Manchuria has the “Natural Harbors” modifier, despite having no coastal provinces. I think this may have been intended for the neighboring Shengjing state (where Dalian/Port Arthur historically was located).
- Kashmir does not have the Himalayas modifier, despite having some extremely high altitudes in real life.
- The Ukrainian pops in Austria are portrayed as 100% Orthodox Christians. This is inaccurate, many, possibly most, were Catholic. They were members of the Ruthenian Uniate Church.
- Begemder, one of the Ethiopian princely states, has the “Sunni Ulema” interest group, even though its State Religion is Ethiopian Orthodox.
- The pops of Lebanon and Syria are pretty out of wack. First off, the Druze do not exist. Second, while demographic info in Lebanon is hard to reliably estimate, the demographics as presented are historically implausible. The proportion of Christians is smaller than many estimates of modern Lebanon’s Christian proportion, even though there’s a historical consensus that Christians have declined as proportion of the population in the past 150 years. Additionally, most Christians in Lebanon should be (Maronite) Catholic, with a minority being Orthodox, not the other way around.
- I know a lot less about Carribean demographics, but Santo Domingo state is portrayed as overwhemingly Afro-Antillean (Francophone), rather than Afro-Caribeño (Hispanophone). I don’t think this is accurate, since the Dominican Republic is Spanish-speaking and fought its war of independence against Haiti, in part, because of linguistic discrimination.

Kamchatka's capital is in Ohkotsk and not in Kamchatka. This should probably be changed since it means you can't shatter Tungus and Kamchatka from Russia at the same time. Essentially there are 3 releasables in this region and all of them release with Ohkotsk and break the other two, which I don't think is intended as it makes releasing not really work.

There is a "Ukrainain Phaenozems" modifier to a few Ukraine states which granted +15% farming throughoutput. In China, the provinces of Liaoning(Shengjing), Jilin(Southern Manchuria), and Heilongjiang(Northern Manchuria) also had Phaenozems soil, so it should also recieve a modifier. (I'm from Liaoning, so I care about this)
Also, "North Manchuria", "South Manchuria", and "Outer Manchuria" are quite anarachoristic terms that was never used contemporarily. They should be renamed to "Heilongjiang" and "Jilin" respectively. (As for "Outer Manchuria" it was never a individual province and was instead part of Heilongjiang and Jilin, it should probably divided into two states called "Outer Heilongjiang" and Outer Jilin"

In Lombardy, Brescia and Bergamo are confused with each other. At the moment, Brescia is positioned more or less in central Lombardy and Bergamo on the border to Venetia, when in fact it's the other way around (just look at your other games). The locations aren't perfect, but I would be happy if at least this would be changed for the moment.
I find it also a bit interesting that northern central France is considered fertile land whereas the Po Valley (Piedmont/Lombardy) as a highly fertile zone is considered to have problems with the Alpine modifier, which are only counterweighted partially (!) by the Po river modifier. This seems rather strange and gives it a disadvantage against other parts in Europe, when in fact the geography was highly advantageous for the region.
Also: Machu Picchu is on the map, when it historically was only known by some locals until its "discovery" in the beginning of the 20th century. Maybe the monument could be hidden until then?

This is less about wrong city positions and more about state setup, but...
Espírito Santo is inside the Rio de Janeiro state. This never happened historically, Espírito Santo was one of the first Capitanias founded in the early 16th century, and has never been under the jurisdiction of Rio de Janeiro. What did happen instead was a short period (1715-1809) where Espírito Santo was part of Bahia, but was then separated again. Considering Paraíba and Rio Grande do Norte are states in this game and they have roughly the same population and area as Espírito Santo, I believe the latter should also be a state.
Speaking of which, Sergipe and Alagoas should also be split from Pernambuco (Sergipe was Bahia until 1820 and Alagoas was Pernambuco only until 1817) but these states would probably be too small/poor. Still, at the very least Sergipe should go to Bahia.

Also, the Brazilian interior seems to be too mountainous when it was more hills and plateaus. Also, far from the coast of the northeastern states should be more arid and the Goiás region should look more like a savannah.

Korea was a vassal state of the Qing Dynasty, while Vietnam and Ryukyu were within its sphere of influence. France needed to sign a treaty with the Qing Dynasty when it attacked Vietnam. Tibet is a province

Vietnam's primary divisions are the Red River Delta (and surrounding highlands) in the North; the narrow coastal strip and mountainous interior of the Center; and the wide, flat plain in the South around the Mekong Delta and Saigon.
The French colonial regions reflected this split almost perfectly, and would serve as good models for the in-game state divisions of Vietnam. This wasn't a case of European colonizers drawing random lines on a map in ignorance, but the result of the French directing their conquest and administration around the pre-existing reality in Vietnam.

This reminds me of another problem: China's oil resources are located in Shanxi（山西），but in the era of the game, China's main oil field is located in Shaanxi (Xi'an in the game). Now Yunnan and Hainan can also grow rubber and coffee. Although there is no rubber and coffee in the game, I hope to achieve this through events or resolutions.

Some thoughts on the USA and its Rivers and Harbors:
Newark Harbor is generally seen as an adjunct to the New York Harbor.
Washington DC is too small to be a viable state. Please combine with Maryland and do something about Delaware, which is also too small to be viable. It would be nice to get the Archives Journal (lvl 10 government) in the state with the White House in it.
The Chesapeake Bay and bordering states needs more love. Split the Harbor bonus between them, like the Maritimes do?
California should get the Natural Harbors Bonus, representing San Francisco Bay, San Diego Harbor, and even Los Angeles.
Illinois should have a special designation for the Illinois river, to represent its place as a connection between the Mississippi River and the Great Lakes. I'd give it 25 Infra and a name change
No Snake River bonus for Idaho? I'm not sure how important it was industrially, but it was a pivotal part of the Oregon trail.
