Looks like a Total War campaign map reject.

MP anyone? I call the the Celtic Union.

In a game wouldn't that be absolutely one of the worst to play with all of its isolated by sea provinces?

I'd agree with Habbaku assuming grey means out of the game. Baltica seems the best starting position.

Finisterre could be good too.

Maybe it that was some kind of twenty-eight player diplomacy. Army Venice to Salzburg.

Army Venice to Trieste.  :sleep:
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

Finisterre for me is acceptable, but to have it extend to Valladolid feels extremely weird.

Yeah, I'd rather have Asturias than Castilian heartland.  :P
Otherwise, it looks like Magna Lusitania. :D

Yeah, I'd rather have Asturias + León on it rather than Valladolid, which is a much better fit in Castilla - Andalucía (another weird combination), same as Extremadura. Cádiz could be roped in too, as well as the Canaries, which would be a nice addition, but alas they're not on the map.

Also they really missed a chance to revive the Crown of Aragon instead of taking all those French provinces which will all have the wrong culture.

And Vasconia? The name alone is cringy, and that's not even taking into account its geography.  :P

Which country has +1 stability and a +2 on diplomatic dice rolls as its inherent bonus, though?
Person. Woman. Man. Camera. TV.

A mummified tangerine, found some years ago - in a winter coat pocket, from the previous winter. It dried out and mummified perfectly, it's hard as wood.

Perhaps the word is "stem"?

Though I like the phrase "glowed a tangerine bellybutton". Sounds like something one would experience on LSD.  :D
