    I never understood if it was Prussia or already Germany before WW1

      Prussian Kingdom was technically one state in the German Empire. But since the Prussian king was the emperor, distinction between them was somewhat artificial.

    I love how Corsica has a picture of Napoleon.

    It’s should be from 1878-1885, as it shows Eastern Rumelia as a somewhat separate state. It was an autonomous province of Bulgaria for that 8 years; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eastern_Rumelia

    I couldn’t find anything to narrow it even more.

    But it has some errors, e.g. Austria wa called Austria-Hungary at that time

      Colloquially ‘Austria’ (or equivalents) was still widely used, just as the Ottoman Empire is referred to Turkiye here.

    I was bummed that they gave Bulgaria a fifth color, when they were clearly aware that you only need four colors, but then I saw that it’s not a contiguous landmass, so I guess, that’s a valid way of grouping those two…
