Well, it's similar to the UK and Ireland. UK and Ireland are both part of the British Isles, and even though Northern Ireland is part of the UK, it is not part of Great Britain, which only refers to Scotland, England, and Wales. The countries that make up the UK each have their own devolved government and legislature but are all subject to the national government and parliament. Jersey, Guernsey, and the Isle of Man are not part of the UK but are crown dependencies that are subject to the British crown... It gets quite complex, that's for certain.

damn i meant scotland typo

oh ok

Moros its because the population of the netherlands is over 17 million.

Moros, are you really that anal over a difference of 170K people?

even when it was 16.8 million. that would still be closer to 17 million than 15

@Richard

Well, you try to put 170 000 people in a bungalow you'll think different about it...
And min34 said "well over 17 million" which makes the difference over 670k.

@min34

I have said this three times already: LOKI doesn't exactly follow the population number, he uses a formula on it that might make it differ one or two million.

Any updates? It's been a month since you last edited your map.

last updated 25th last month...

I don't like complaining but surely you can do better than that

wigibob / Moros: It looks like L0KI is making the file for update.

making the file for update?

Making updates to SVG and preparing to upload it?

oh ok

I should change the name The Hague in Den Haag.

Why?

I agree with Moros; there's also a territory called "North of North Holland", you're not going to change that to "North of Noord Holland" (or even "Noorden van Noord Holland"), right?

I was very busy in last month, so nothing new for this map, sorry:(
This map is huge project (in contrast for example "Snowflakes" which I completed in 1 weekend) which I will try to complete before summer, but I nothing promise.

Works on interior of Temple of Saint Sava have start recently. I don't know when it will be finished, but on this news site:
http://www.rts.rs/page/stories/sr/story/16/Kultura/1074392/Počinje+živopisanje+Hrama+Svetog+Save+.html
is information that estimate end of works to 2020 year.
Sorry for spam.
I'm using demographics of 2002 census.
"Run the ore" - google translate is guilty for this:). That is some concept which describe a person who rush in conclusions and usually don't have information about that, so it can be dangerously in practical sense so we say "do not run the ore" ("ne trči pred rudu", "не трчи пред руду"). It is really wide term...

Next update will be for Netherlands (2 more territories and fix of national bonus from 15 to 16), Belgium, Greece and Luxembourg, then I will apply my formula on existing countries and naming territories. Then, Czech Republic, Poland, Malta and Cyprus. After that, works on Great Britain and Ireland, then Scandinavian countries and Denmark. Ah, Eastern Europe, Russia will be hardest to make. Then, Turkey and if there's space for Caucasian and North Africa countries (Morocco, Algeria and Tunisia).

Thanks for the link, Google Translate did a good enough job for me to get most of it. I'm pretty sure I'll be back before then; I'll try to remember when to go see it in all its glory. :D

@не трчи пред руду (gotta love copy-paste! )
Many languages have similar sayings: "Rome wasn't built in a day", "Good work takes time" (that's a literal translation of the Dutch version) and even "Don't jump to conclusions" and "Fools rush in" have more or less the same meaning. With so many sayings agreeing, it just has to be true. ;)

Seriously though, take your time, it's not just about us being eager to play the map, it's also very important that you keep enjoying making the map in the first place!

Can I ask which two territories you still want to add to the Netherlands? It looks complete if you ask me...?
Oh, one tiny request, could you maybe rename "Ijsselland" to "IJsselland" (with an upper case "J")? You see, in Dutch we consider "ij" to be one letter (if you're interested, Wikipedia has an English article about it).

He's going to split Flevoland and Noordoostpolder, and make Texel an independent territory.
And I agree on IJsselland.
