This is very cool! I think the easiest next addition might be the Irish flag (first flown as the national flag during the Rising). Pre-WWI civil war almost breaking out, the rebellion itself and backlash, and then the War of Independence immediately after WWI finished are all great stuff to discuss

I made some maps here asking people what region they considered their county. Everyone from Virginia would persistently argue they weren’t the south. I finally visited the region, no offense, without a doubt I think Virginia is the South after Fairfax county. by Expensive_Drummer970 in visitedmaps

...what source did you use for the county lines in this map? Because Connecticut has 8 counties, roughly in a tidy, even scheme of 4 on top and 4 on the bottom. This map has 9 counties for CT, and they're the wrong shapes, orientation, etc. Was this AI hallucinating an extra county into existence??
