Aside from the angles and distances being a bit off in general (see Iceland and Ireland, for example), it looks fairly convincing to me. Country borders were a lot different back then, remember that China was not always the military power they are now. Germany and Poland are excellent examples of this (as well as Turkey, which is both the pink country in the lower right side of the Europe map and the yellow country in the upper left side of the Asia map.

You're most welcome. As the motto of Skalman.nu reads, Information not shared is lost. I always enjoy to share items from my collection, especially those which are unique (plus, I'm usually reimbursed with complimentary books, which is always nice). |

I would, but post-1945 history is outside my scope of interest, so with a risk of winning, I would rather not participate (no reason to try to win a prize you have no deeper interest in, when other people might).

There are actually three, but Shokoku is underproportionated, and thus hard to see. Hokkaido seems to have been made part of Honshu, for some reason.
