Is it at all possible to restore my eastern seaboard to its original shape? The reason I am insisting is because I have maps and stuff based on the spot in that outline. It would mean a lot to me if you could restore it.
Looks great! Two minor notes: Lianggang (north of Hongting) does not appear to be labelled. It's probably the second most important city in Yujin (much moreso than Hongting), so if you need to remove Hongting to fit in Lianggang, please do so. Also, "Gaoyi" and "East Yujin Sea" are overlapping. You can remove Gaoyi if the label East Yujin Sea can't be moved. Whatever's easiest for you, esteemed cartographer.
Zaysan
Stupetna
Irelia (as close to Almatii as possible, with just a bit of distance between. They are more or less twin cities. Think Johannesburg and Pretoria)
I would like to apply for the spot between Vangala and Kyiv, which includes the bit directly bordering Kyiv and I'm hoping includes the island as well – though that is ultimately your decision to grant it or not, but just to save time, I'm adding those cities as well. But I would like to request if Sikandara and Yujin could be allowed to have a thin strip of land connecting them by land, it will at-least give me an active neighbour. In the map below, I've added the proposed border with a red line
The capital is Shahdara which is on the southern coast.
There you are. The cities to put down would be Ephalaea (which is the capital), Tycheia, Lysandria, Helos (if there's space), and Alynthos. Additionally, I'd also like to request the following areas to serve as "colonies" of sorts, wherein these are territories which're historical remnants of the old Thalassocracies which once existed among the formerly free Diadochi cities. Having embarked on a great number of commercial ventures, and being very much familiar with the coastline and terrain of eastern and southern Himyar, Diadochi settlements and trading posts were erected in the region since antiquity -- and some have lasted even into medieval and modern times. Though these are no true "free cities" in the manner of their brethren in the "homeland," they nonetheless enjoy some degree of autonomy and representation via their "sponsor," the city to whom the territory itself belongs.

Notes: The original plan as detailed in the forum thread, was scrapped in favor of a more detailed Dannevirke colony that would allow me to work on a region that is often not explored, that being icy, grim frostbiten lands. Quite literally however, in comparison to a RL Greenland where most of the land is covered by an ice sheet. Low population and its lack of infrastructure and resources make it a difficult land to live in. The Dannevirke Wiki page, that being not the historical transfer of the land, but the country page is a continual work in progress. The Purchase Wiki page is missing pieces from Frescania and Danmark, it is on them to be able to supply two remaining empty sections with content. Looking at the territory itself, it's worth noting the "territorial waters" listed on the map. It makes it difficult for goods to occur with the southern most regions because of how they must "sail the long way" around the islands that lay in the way of the shortest distance. An often difficult task in the winter when the ice often freezes over. It's worth noting that Monterrey and Dannevirke do not possess an icebreaker ship. Frescania does though.
Helios should be Helos.
Tychelia should be Tycheia.
Also, since I'm the only person actually bordering the Strait(s) of Sindh, might I suggest a rename? The Reaver's Straits would be more suitable, as it'd coincidence with the history I have in mind for the cities in that very same region -- wherein historically a great number of them used that very same sealane to their advantage for the purpose of piracy.
Red = Charleroi = Capitol
Blue = Baldwin - Whitehall
Green = Ben Avon
Yellow = Lysekil Please move this one over to the right a bit, your discretion. It's too lined up with the blue one accidentally.
Black = Duquesne
