Errors on map

There's a few mistakes on the map I've noticed, not including the translation issues noted above. I have no idea if anyone will ever read this, but figured I'd mention them:

• The Vest Recklinghausen, which was part of the Archbishop-Elector of Cologne's territories, is not distinguished from the Bishopric of Münster.
• The Abbey of Essen is not distinguished from the adjacent Abbey of Werden.
• The Prussian territory to the west of Osnabrück is not just the County of Lingen; it also includes the county of Tecklenburg in the southeastern part. I'm not sure how much this matters, as internal borders are inconsistently applied - Minden and Ravensberg are separated from one another, but no other Prussian territories are separated out.
• A similar issue is that Prussian Guelders and Moers are labeled as part of the Duchy of Cleves, which they were not. Either the individual territories should all be marked out and labeled, or all the Prussian territories should be uniformly colored in with no labels, I think.
• The territories of the Prince-Bishop of Worms, and the adjacent territories of the Elector of Mainz, are not separated from one another
• The "Duchy of Braunschweig" should be listed as the "Duchy of Braunschweig-Wolfenbüttel" (or Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel)
• Various church territories and free cities in Swabia are not separated out.
• The Prince-Bishop of Speyer appears to have lost some of his left bank territories
• Anhalt looks wrong, though I'm not sure what exactly the problem is. It may just be that I'm not used to seeing the territories separated out and that's making it look wrong.
• Part of the County of Sayn is held by the Margrave of Ansbach - it should be colored in.

Those are the main things. It'd be nice to have an even larger map where we can color in some of the even smaller territories, be more careful about separating out different territories ruled by the same ruler, etc. - the internet, and perhaps world, is missing a really good, detailed map of the Reich.

It also shows Graubünden as part of Switzerland, which it was not at the time. And the "Kingdom of Sardinia" was not a unitary state outside the Reich either. The Duchy of Savoy is not shown, for example. Srnec (talk) 00:33, 23 March 2016 (UTC)
