The color of "Greater polish" is too similar to Prussian, but you guys are doing a great job! Don't forget that!

Few corrections:
Rawa and Czersk were not vassals of Bohemia (Płock was for the life of the duke).
Kuyavia and Dobrzyń were not occupied by TO at the start of the game. Also, while temporarily occupied during the war, they were not owned or vassalised by TO before or after finish of the war, so transferring ownership wouldn't make sense here.

Excellent piece of work!
I was astonished when realized how closely the borders of powiats are followed (if anyone would like to check themselves, here is the map of voivodeships and powiats of the Crown: https://data.atlasfontium.pl/documents/497/link). It looks wonderful!
Will come back later with some minor improvement suggestions. Well done.

No pagan minorities in east slavic and estonian lands? That's my only issue, otherwise it looks great. I wish you at least added placeholder animist, so much potential alt scenario content with that

This was suposed to be my first reply but I was preoccupied with some other forum discussion. I must say you did your job well, the feedback was enormous and you managed to process it and revitalize the region completely. My first reaction to the prefeedback proposition was a little too harsh. It was done with good intentions in mind and I am more then happy that those concerns and disbeliefs on my part were premature. The attention to details regarding the historical borders of the region is excellent and the map as a whole is a work of art truly. Yes there are some naming inconsistencies but they can be fixed easily. Good job one more time @Pavía and I hope that the quality of your work will remain the same for both the future minor tweaks to the region as well as other areas entirely.
I mean I will say, the eu4 culture mechanics are going to need to be immensely revamped if the level of cultural balkanisation that the game has been shown to have is to be remotely justified.

Latvians mixing that deep into Lithuania Proper is an interesting choice for sure. (No recorded sources of Latvians as a specific nation back then.) Also as I mentioned a few times, Lithuanians lived in eastern Lithuania not Aukstaitians. Lithuanian is an early European nation, kind of shame it's not even present here.
I will pull out a hard quote to prove Lithuanians were around
Omnis Russia ad Litwinos deberet simpliciter pertinere. - Algirdas
All of Rusia should belong to the Lithuanians

Hello, this is - as you can see, my first post on the forums. I'm glad to be here!
However, I'm afraid my first post is going to be a bit of critique.
The fact that - and I have seen multiple users mention this - the northern Baltic is entirely Catholic feels like a pretty notable oversight.
I know how hard it is to add more religions, and I know the effort that goes into making religions distinct.
I do completely understand how difficult it is to spend time adding a religion, even barebones, in a region that might only exist as a revolter, that a fragment of the population might play.
However, only a few years from the start date, the Saaremaa revolt/St. George's Night will occur.
Whether it was primarily a pagan/native Estonian uprising against German domination, anti-Catholic revolt, discontent from rural citizens against urbanisation, or all of the above - the primary instigators and fighters were Estonian pagans.
Now, they might exist as minority population across Estonia, although I haven't seen that mentioned.
But it feels like they should be - at the very least - stripes throughout Estonia, and a slight majority in Saaremaa/Ösel.
Here's what I'd suggest:
If you already have a religion/placeholder for the Sámi, it could serve here, too.
Even if barebones, because I do understand the already ballooning size and how there are larger, more important sites to focus on.
(And as a lurker, I've really enjoyed seeing the looks we've had at Central and Southern Africa, and hope they will get some tender love and care!)
But I have to stress this one, because it's close to my heart.
Hopefully it can be considered in the period of fine-tuning.
If not, I nevertheless appreciate the amount of time on tweaking things, and taken to interact with a community.
It can be draining, but even people who rarely talk or contribute appreciate it.
Thank you!..

Poland has nothing to do with it, they wanted to be recognized a kingdom after the conversion because the ruler of Lithuania was already calling himself as such but the Pope didn't want it since he was the only one who could declare who was king or not, seeing this as act of superiority to the catholic church the Pope never agreed to elevate Lithuania as a Christian kingdom

It's a very very very minor nitpick, but would it be possible to rename Silesian German to something else? It just feels a bit off, especially when none of the other German cultures use the word German.
Even if it was to be changed to something like Lower Silesian, Schläsisch, or just Schlesisch.
EDIT: Wrong on the using German in the name point. I forgot the rest of Germany exists, but I'm not necessarily a fan of those either.

That's not true, there are 4 German cultures with German in their names: Baltic German, Transylvanian German, Silesian German and Carpathian German.

Should the Prussia area be split into East Prussia and West Prussia and then have the region be Prussia?

You’re talking about Gediminas, but I was referring to a previous King of Lithuania, Mindaugas, and a later Grand Duke, Vytautas (15th century). There is a significant difference here. The Pope didn’t recognize or appreciate Gediminas referring to himself as a king because he was pagan. Do you really think that a century later, when Lithuania had been Christianized, the Pope withheld the title of kingdom because of Gediminas’s letters?
If you had done some reading on this topic and Lithuanian history in general, you would understand that Lithuania held the title of Grand Duchy due to very specific circumstances under the PU with Poland, and not because the pope had beef with Gediminas a century earlier. Again, if Lithuania had been Christianized on its own terms, it would have been a kingdom.

If you say so then I will refrain from arguing any further, you cleraly know more about this than me but I still stand by my proposal from a gameplay perspective rathen than an historical one

Apologies if I came across as a bit rude (Just woke up and haven’t had my coffee yet
). I agree that playing as a Grand Duchy might be interesting for some. However, a Christian ruler might prefer to be a King rather than a Grand Duke. I think a good compromise would be to allow the option to change titles whenever the player wants or fulfills certain requirements. Or by events.- 1
It's fine no problem, to me the type of title helps me with the flavour of the campaign I wanna play so that it looks less repetitive when I play with a different religion and I guess it also depends if the the title of grand duchy is considered to be on the same tier as a kingdom, a duchy or something in betweenApologies if I came across as a bit rude (Just woke up and haven’t had my coffee yet

That would be a very appropriate way of naming them.
In fact I would love it if there was a game option to call every single culture by its endonym (similar to the "Byzantium/ERE" game option).

Endonyms should NEVER be used for cultures unless there is no equivalent English term that differs from it. I like the suggestion of an endonym setting though, since it would let players who want endonyms to be satisfied, while preventing the normal game from getting clogged up with them.
