      This map perhaps implies a continuity and stability that wasn’t present in reality. Besides the inerent difficulty of using modern borders when discussing the past, it doesn’t show, for example, that the areas now part of the UK, Belgium, and Spain have all been republics for a period between 1626 and 2026.

      I don’t know much about European politics but I just had a gut feeling that it needs to be netherlands

      The Netherlands might not have been a monarchy in the 1600’s. but they were still mostly ruled by the same family. the same family that is now the royal family.

      All I notice is how Greenland is looming large on this map. Like a sword of Damocles over our heads?

      Fun fact: Poles at the time considered their state a republic, as the king had greatly diminished powers and was elected. The „Commonwealth“ in „Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth“ in truth just means „republic“, and we count our republics with the PLC being the First (currently we’re at number 3, with 2 being the Interwar one).

      Spain should be it’s own category: „Was a monarchy in 1626, and is a monarchy AGAIN in 2026.“

      Borders don’t make sense but what’s interesting is that’s probably the first time I see a map of Europe including Groenland. I can imagine why (and, to be clear, that’s a good thing)!

      A monarchy is quite different to a democratic constitutional monarchy.

      The UK monarch hasn’t held absolute power since the 17th century.

      There’s an error marked on the map. Russia isn’t a republic, but a tsarist regime, with an eternal leader at its head.

      There are a few errors on the map:

      Andorra is and was a monarchy, so it should be green.

      The Netherlands was a pseudo-republic since the Stadtholder was a quasi-monarch, so it should also be green.

      If Britain is a monarchy, then China is a republic

      So let’s use de facto instead of de jure
