The Netherlands does not own any of its Caribbean territories. E.g. The ABC islands are a part of Venezuela.

Correcting the North American geography would be good.

- The Appalachians are green, gently rolling hills that roughly go from North Georgia to the Gaspé peninsula in Québec. They shouldn't be depicted as snowy mountain tops like they are right now.
- The Laurentians stretch from the north of Ontario and follow the northern course of the Saint-Lawrence river and into the gulf until the Labrador, and should be also depicted as gentle rolling hills, and not a tall mountain range
- A portion of the mountain ranges on the western half of the continent could be depicted as tall mountain tops as depicted here in dark red :

Not sure if this is the correct thread, but rice should be the staple grain of Madagascar instead of millet.

Suggestion 1: For Japan, either give them Colonialization Law and Tech or decisions to let them colonize Sakhalin and Hokkaido before Russia.
Suggestion 2: In Germany, introduce decisions or diplomatic actions to let other states that have good Relations and are in your custom Zone confederate with you (If you want to form Germany with a Nation that is not Prussia).

A mistake in china northeast area:
The natural harbor in the southern part of the northeast is a mistake, this feature should belong to the Shengjing area where Lushun Port is located（now it‘s called Da Lian）, please fix it in the next update.

There is no city called Lorestan in Iran, it should be Khoramabad, which was the procincial capital of Lorestan as early as the Safavid era. And there should also be Hamadan and Kermanshah in the province.
There are few cities in Afghanistan, but at least there should be Kandahar.
I think there must be at least Baku and Ganja in Russian Azerbaijan.
The Emirate of Bukhara, the Khanate of Khiva and the Province of Basra don't seem to fit their names, where are Bukhara, Khiva and Basra on the map?

In south africa a city is called Da Aar, it should be De Aar, and in the netherlands itself, you see a river going into the sea to the west of groningen, that river should be to the east of groningen on the border with hannover, its called the Dolar
There are many, many problems with the depiction of the geography of China in this game.
The cities of Anqing, Kaifeng, Fengtian, Chaozhou, Xuzhou, Guilin, Xiamen, and Fuzhou should be added to the game.
In this post I explain why it makes no sense for Min, Yue, and Hakka to be distinct cultures from Han.
The demographics of Manchuria are wrong. Shengjing should have more people than the rest of Manchuria, including Outer Manchuria, combined.
I do not know why Inner Mongolia is called "Monan", this is a nonsense word. Why not call it Inner Mongolia? I also think that Tianshan should be called Altishahr, the Turkic name for the region. If East Turkestan becomes independent, then it would be weird for them to be using a Chinese name, and Altishahr is not such a weird name for China to use.
Accurate map of Qing subdivisions (you can use it to verify the specific corrections I make in the following images). I strongly believe that each province should be one state, because the provinces have existed for many centuries and are enduring political and economic units. The only exceptions are Guangdong (I accept that the formation of Hong Kong must be enabled, but the states should be called Western and Eastern Guangdong, to prevent the misconception that Chaozhou and Shaozhou are not part of Guangdong) and Jiangsu, which at certain points during the Qing era had the northern part, called Jiangbei, separated off. Tibet should be divided into its four traditional provinces of Ngari, Tsang, Ü, and Chamdo:
Outer Manchuria should be two states:
Ningxia and Gansu should be one state called Gansu. Calling that large region Ningxia is like calling France "Brittany".
The correct name of the "Ili" state is Semireche. It makes no sense to call it Ili, because Ili is a city in Dzungaria. The state already called Semireche should be called something else.

I wouldve like to play a game as the maya, i know you can release them as mexico because yucatan is their 'capital state'
But why cant you release maya as central america? I mean, the very oldest cities/capitals of the maya were in guatamala as example 'el mirador'
And well, the yucatan isnt plains, its predominatly a very thick jungle

Seriously, this and the Iron Confederation tentacle in the US are consistent problems there's no way to get around as of yet. Like in the 1800s Japan was actively colonizing Hokkaido/Ezo and by extension Sakhalin and the Kurils. It being unable to do that makes no sense. I understand why they made it so that Japan doesn't start with the Colonization Institution, but that's just a problem where the game depicts every kind of colonialism and settlement exactly the same (the same issue that causes the AI US to colonize West Africa every game).
Also Ryukyu Kingdom should be a subject of Japan instead of being fully incorporated. It wasn't annexed until late 1800s.

The number of states are chosen for balance reasons, so it's unlikely they will just add/delete states. However having the borders follow the historical province boundary shouldn't be an issue for Guangxi and Guizhou, etc. The Guangxi/Hunan border is straight up copied from Victoria 2 for no discernable reason
I don't see what's wrong with the name Monan. 漠南蒙古 approxinately fits the area portrayed (Inner Mongolia minus Hulunbuir and the Alxa and Ejin Banners)
Regarding names: I agree changing Shaozhou/Guangdong to Easter/Western Guangdong is more consistent with how other split provinces are named, and that Northern/Southern Manchuria closely fit the borders of Qing Dynasty's Heilongjiang and Jilin provinces, so I don't get why they aren't used (The modern ones have very different shapes but that shouldn't matter). On the other hand, Ili is completely correct: Ili is the name of a river in the southern part of the area, and the Chinese city/prefecture was named after the river. Since it does contain most of the Ili river, I don't see a problem with it.
The Henan-Anhui-Jiangsu clusterf---: I agree that they should use the correct province borders. To preserve the state count, keep Anhui and Jiangsu split, but right along the Yangtze instead of what they are doing right now. Keep Nanjing and Shanghai in one state, and let Shanghai be the treaty port (The current setup where Shanghai isn't Shanghai's treaty port is absurd). To make up for the missing state, split Shandong to north and south, right in the middle. I know this doesn't look good, but this would allow both Qingdao and Weihaiwei to be treaty ports which should make up for the ugly borders.

A lot of random historical borders from even way after the game's timeframe are in the game if you look at the shape of tiles at the sub-state level, so I think it's most likely they copied the Vic2 base map to begin with and simply didn't change it.
Bonn is closer to where Koblenz is (and on the wrong side of the Rhine for both cities). Koblenz would probably be a more important city for the time period, what with there being a fortress and all. Bonn only rose to importance when Adenauer picked it as the German capital.
Seems to be impossible to get Neustrelitz, the capital of Mecklenburg-Strelitz on the map. It's tagged as the "mine" hub of Mecklenburg, but that state doesn't seem to have mines.
How is there not a river through Berlin? The shorter Havel is there, but not the Spree?

I highly doubt that the devs actually did some math and determined that if China doesn't have the number of states it does in the game right now, the simulation would be unrealistic. I just don't see any reason for Nanjing and Suzhou, or Chongqing and Sichuan, to not be the same states. Can anyone give me any conrete justification? Anyways I'm fairly certain that most of the populations of these states are completely made up and have no relation to reality, I don't think, for example, that Southern Anhui (but only the southern half), Jiangxi, and Fujian were more populous than any neighbouring provinces in 1836. It's also kind of stupid for the Chinese states to be chosen based on exactly simulating tiny fragments of European imperialism.
This is like having a state that doesn't include Moscow but includes parts of the Moscow River be called Moscow. It's just confusing.
Anyways, Semirechye is the name of the region that makes more sense. There is absolutely no reason for it to not be called Semirechye, or perhaps Zhetysu.

University of Helsinki, in the game's timescope known as Imperial Alexander University (1828-1919) and before the game's timescope known as Åbo Kungliga Akademi/Turun akatemia/Royal Academy of Åbo/Turku (1640-1828) was also founded in 1640, which obviously is after the University of Copenhagen, but was the third university in the Kingdom of Sweden, the first being University of Uppsala and the second Academia Gustavia in Dorpat, Estonia. The University of Uppsala is present in the game, I don't know what is the decision-making process.
Changing the capital, and the university from old Swedish era capital (Turku/Åbo) to the new capital (Helsinki/Helsingfors), could also be somewhat present in the game.
I don't know if we intend to fill the map with universities but the Royal Academy was a rather important institution taking into account how very few people lived there, and for example the element Yttrium was discovered there.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________
In the case someone might later want to revise the states for whatever reason, the actual administrative divisions in the Grand Duchy Finland were as follows:
I understand that the small population probably doesn't permit it, but e.g. states (lääni) 1 and 2 were largely Swedish-speaking, and most of the urban population lived there.
Helsinki, being a very small administrative capital, shouldn't necessarily be bigger on the map than Turku, the former capital just years before. I don't know if the city sizes are dynamic but could be checked.

I have some proposals and the sources for changes to New England and New York. Please bear with me and my MS paint skills. Thank you for creating this great game and I appreciate all the hard work you do! If we could mod the map I would do it myself!

1. New England
.jpg "New England (Edited).jpg")
1. The mountains are way too high. There are not nearly this many bald face mountains in New England. They should be small hills starting in Mass and Connecticut and then get bigger in Vermont and New Hampshire all the way to Maine. There are only two big mountains here that I could justify being that large, Mt Washington, and Katahdin in Maine.
2. Connecticut does not have it's tip into New York and no notch bordering Mass.
3. Rhode Island has way too much of Connecitcut, and is missing the Island that gave it it's name. That Island holds Newport. The entire bay region I had to redraw.
4. In Massachusetts the Fall River New Bedford area has lost all its' land. The land here should extend closer to Marthas Vineyard as shown.
5. I will say that I am impressed that you all added Block Island and Martha's Vineyard. Good attention to detail but PLEASE add Aquidneck Island since that is how Rhode Island got its name.

2. New York
.jpg "New York Region (Edited).jpg")
1. New York is missing the entire mountain range that extends into Pennslyvania along the border with said state. Hills should be extending from those Mountains a bit as shown in the image above.
2. The mountain ranges are far too high here. Mountains should really big large hills here.
3. New York is also missing The finger lakes which I have drawn in blue above.
4. The border with Canada needs to be reworked and Niagara Falls are missing here!? Add the river please!
5. The borders are outlined in gold and need to be reworked along Connecticut and Pennslyvania
