Legend:
CAPITALS: Fully Independent Countries
Title Case: Countries and Territories in various degrees of dependency to other Countries
Peoples Names instead of Country Names (ex. INDIANS): Lack of a unified Country / Nation State; either several small States or no State Organization whatsoever.
Lighter Colours: Claimed Territories, definitely in the country's sphere, but not yet incorporated because of either (1) not reached yet (Arctic ice, deserts, jungles) or (2) not conquered yet from the natives.
Not shown: The Arctic (above ~74° N, uncontested Scandinavian), the Antarctic (below ~56° S, uncontested German) and various small islands (too small for this scale).
Some borders are only approximations.
EW1 = the First European War (1641 - 1645)
* = OTL Name
Sinai Canal (*Suez Canal) is opened for shipping (mostly Romanian, Italian, German and Egyptian).
