I love your maps, hope to see a world or an american soon.
That... is a big problem. With Europe I had something to work with (I thank Valdemar for the original map, now heavily modified). Not so much with the Americas, where whatever map I may find is a very rough approximation. Borders were often based on faulty geography or simply consisted of land within cannon-shot of the colonial power's existing forts. I hinted at that with my comment on the ambiguity of whether or not Todos los Santos falls within the recognized territory of Carolina, but it goes much further. A good deal of post-decolonization conflicts in the Americas have roots in that sort of ambiguity, with borders drawn up as late as 1942 (Peru-Ecuador) suffering from a discordance between their description and actual geographic facts. Sorry, but for the foreseeable future you'll have to do with the links and the descriptions in the TL.

Between the french of Montaigne and the one of Montesquieu, there is a great difference.
