NOTE(S):
Vassals/protectorates are not shown separately (as a general rule).
There will be perceived inaccuracies! It is unrealistic for a project of this scale to be 100% accurate. There will also be simplifications/oversimplifications for time & sanity's sake. You can constructively point anything you think I missed.
Many areas are derived or "traced" from other creators. A primary point of creating this project was (and still is) to see what it would look like if the creations of the videomapping community were put together in one world video. Although there are many areas that are indeed completely original, I do not claim every pixel as my own original work.
This video shows actual control (as a general rule), which means unrecognized countries will appear if de facto control was established.
Areas will be "blank" until state-level entities form (as a general rule)
Ancient lakes/coastlines, modern reservoirs, etc. may be anachronistic.
Video may be subject to artifacts.
I already know about the Minoans, unfortunately the video is already uploaded and I can't add any missing things now. I have to make it a blacklisted word because for some reason a lot of people still try to point this out despite this already being addressed
Ideally the video would have had nation name labels on the map itself, but it is virtually impossible as 1) have to sacrifice territory visibility, 2) there is no convenient way to add labels onto each of the thousands of image files and 3) labels made within the video editor would bloat the video project exponentially. Hopefully the nation pixel rankings are better than nothing at all as a compromise. :)
