Would labels be possible on this, please? My Dutch geography isn't good enough to work out what the provinces are! Deiniol 16:20, 14 January 2006 (PST)

Instead of that, I have made a new version of my own map of the Batavian Kingdom. It's based on Dan's version, but using *there*'s provinces instead of *here*'s. As far as I know, we can take that for authoritative. It's here. Dan, what do you say? —IJzeren Jan ^Uszkiełtu? 17:19, 15 January 2006 (PST)

I liked that the newer polders were made to their own province *here*. Wasn't there some issue of rights and self-determination, and that's why *here* they made the province of Floveland instead of just taking them on, as you've done? Otherwise, I have no real concern either way for the map, I just thought it would be more equivalent to here, easier to manage the parts rather than the larger clumps. At least that's part of the reasoning I have. Either way, it all works well. Feel free to upload your newer version and suppress mine. :) BoArthur

About the province of Flevoland (not Floveland): yes, I admit that that would have been cool. But given the different character of the provinces *there* (mostly, the fact that they are far more autonomous), I thought such a thing wouldn't be likely to happen *there*.

Mind, there are after all quite some different between the map *there* and *here*:

• First of all, the BaK contains the entire Flemish-speaking part of Belgium. That's undoubtedly the most significant difference.
• The BaK also includes Eastern Frisia and the Saterland (apparently, given to the BaK by Napoleon).
• I've also decided to include the old land of Kleef (the Southern part of Gelderland, which belongs to Germany *here*). My guess is that this was annexed from Prussia after GW2.
• The province of Zeeland is bigger than *here*. This has something to do with the Brzhona.
• Most provinces (except Utrecht and Zeeland) are composed of two or three of *here*'s provinces.

Note that I also added the dike Enkhuizen-Lelystad (which would have been the Northern border of the Markerwaard).

All in all, this map, with its added bits of Belgium and Germany, with its extended Frisian Islands, and with its projected Markerwaard, is about as politically incorrect as one could possibly get! :)) —IJzeren Jan ^Uszkiełtu? 01:47, 16 January 2006 (PST)

How much land is Kleef? If it's very much my maps need to be changed, then. Also, I changed your spelling of dike. With a y in American english means a lesbian. BoArthur 17:53, 16 January 2006 (PST)
