it's also kinda hard to make out the boarder http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/189/chinabw.png/

Why did you mark Vorošilov province (Russian: 'Ворошилов', today Ussuriysk - 'Уссурийск')? The lacking area on the north-east from this province is Khanka Lake (Xīngkǎi Hú, 兴凯湖), so it may look like Chinese-Russian border was deformed, but it's correctly drawn.

Are you using soviet names as main names for Russian provinces?
Because that would look pretty weird in 1914 mod.

I use everywhere names from 1936, as it is main scenario in Darkest Hour, so in USSR some names may be weird, there could be 'de-communized' version released in future for 1914 scenario so for 1914 Mod too.

Only Manchuria needs to be done, I'll try to add something tomorrow, but there won't be too many changes in the next week.

Can I also add some suggestions(since some of the borders looked messed up) . . .

-Can you modify Nice's borders so that it reflects the land that was ceded to France from Sardinia/Italy in the 1840s?
-Can you also modify Savoy's borders so that it reflects the departments of Haute-Savoie and Savoie

May I ask why map for XX century scenarios should have borders from XIX century?

Mumia, i have two questions:

1) What's your favourite ice cream flavour?
2) What criterion are you going to use to draw US and Canada's provinces? I hope that, at least for the USA you would not use the 1 county = 1 province scale, because IMO that would make the US having gazillions of provinces (as you can see in this US county map), well actually maybe that scale would work for some states like Alaska or Maine, among others, but for Texas, for instance, would make it completely... square, just look at it's counties...
As for Canada i think it would be interesting if took a look at these links:
a) Administrative divisions of Canada
b) Proposed provinces and territories of Canada
c) List of areas disputed by Canada and the USA

Oh and lastly on a completely semi-unrelated note, you may want to draw Navassa island to the map, linked it's ownership to Puerto Rico or Guantanamo bay province i think...

Because Italy (or at least, the Fascists) demanded these areas. The redrawing of Nice, at least, would accurately reflect this.

So then there is a reason for eventual changes, at least in Nice province. Do you mean Nice should be cut like on this picture, along white border?:

1) Chocolate.:D
2) Definitely 1 province for 1 county is nonsense, I would still use county borders, but rather merging few counties into one province, of course depending of the US area and topography. Also I plan to represent all actual US state borders and allow to form historical puppets like Republic of Texas in its historical borders or Dezeret and maybe some territories for main native American tribes. I'll also use Canadian state borders from first half of the XX century.
3) Thank you for those links.
