First comment - was Portugal that shape or even around 1000 years ago? It's been around for ages but was it present during the reconquista? If it wasn't it is a glaring mistake to include it on the map as a continent shape.



It was the Kingdom of Portugal after the battle of Sao Mamede in 1128, I believe... The shape has stayed the same as in the map since the Algarve was recaptured from the Moors in 1250 (I think). Should be fine like that.

I stand corrected! Quiyr an amazing historical fact if you think how much other borders in Europe have shifted.


As for Capt. Planets new legend. I'm not sure about the Squareness. Would it look better in a circle?

Is it the colors? I'm going to end up changing them anyway, so that shouldn't be a problem in the final version.

If the font makes it hard to read I'll change it
