A silly question is Russia actually bigger in terms of number of provinces on this map or is it the same with better placement? I noticed he mentioned he did not want to make to many extra provinces so it might not be that far off :confused:

I dont have exact count, but they are a bit fewer compared to vanilla.

You could make the two provinces off the Estonian coast a province, since they were Danish longer than Estonia itself. It would give Denmark an extra province for about half of the game...
 
Great work, but i advice you to make some changes in Poland:
Małopolska->Kraków
Sandomierz->Małopolska
Pommerellen->Pomorze, Gdańsk or Danzig
Braclaw->Ukraina maybe Kijów
Latvija->Inflanty, Inflants [ Latvija is modern (XIX century) name]
Żemajtija->Żmudź

I think that you should split Wielkopolska to Poznan and Kalisz or Sieradz. Wielkopolska is rich, big (on you map much bigger than many poor provinces) and has big population (bigger than many small provinces).

I think that you should split Preussen to 2 provinces.

Is Iflanty the same name as Livonia/Livland? If so, I agree with you :)
Livonia (in Latvian) would be the best name IMHO.
 
Livonia would be better (again i think more "international" name could be used - Latin that is :] ) Inflanty/Inflants is a no-no.

Sven have you considered this:
...But there is still a problem: Wolyn/Volhynia is bordering Dnepr and is too big - consider this nice map provided by Classique:

Those are 19th century borders - but show well what i mean about Dnepr being "to far" to the west. Its the fact that Kiev was on the Western bank of Dnepr - on the map as it is now you cant place it as capital of any province - Making Kiev as capital of Wolyn/Volhynia is not a good idea (completly unhistorical), but it cant and shouldnt be capital of Poltava (wrong side of the river). My prosposition is to:
1: Divide Wolyń/Volhynia in 2 - eastern part will be called Ukrayina or Kiev
2: To prevent adding a new province merge Poltava and western part of Ukrayina (the province NOW called Ukrayina on your map - east of Poltava) in one, name it Poltava or consider another name (Perejeslav ?). And eastern part of the province called now Ukrayina to the province east of it (Lugansk?)
Pros: Same number of provinces. More historical imo.
Cons: ?

You could rename Käkisalmi to Karjala, if nobody has pointed this out yet. It would be in same pattern as other large provinces of Finland (aka, by regions) and Käkisalmi (Kexholm) is very small part of the province and not at all central part either. And Karjala is one of the old and important regions, like Häme. It would be nice to see it in.
 
Moscow should be Moskva, if you are using native names. and wouldn't Cyprus be Kypriaki?
 
I forgot, Angliscised names will be used for Russia.

But Cyprus should still be called Kypriaki (Greek)
