as a german i feel it is my duty to respond to this
the map as it is is nice, no question. however, the bundesländer (states) are... well... not quite correct. you might wan to think of broader names for most of them. also all territs are named after cities on this map... why not go for the regions they actually represent? mainz for example could be changed to rheinhessen. and my last complaint is that most territories have the german name... and then a few random ones still have the english one. why? here are the translations:
Nuremburg: Nürnberg
Munich: München
Cologne: Köln
Prussia: Preussen
Dusseldorf: Düsseldorf
and Hannover is missing an N i believe (not 100% sure )
also, since it says Niederlande, Belgien and Frankreich, you might want to change the bits that say Germany to Deutschland... East would then be Ost and West stays West.
