Heateh:
Thanks for noticing the omission. It is fixed.
I was aware of the States and Divisions game. It's a good game. Lilili hasn't made a lot of games; but they are very good games.
Obviously, my "Three Map" games will overlap some existing maps. But having the three maps together makes it a whole different thing. OK, a much harder thing.
Ideally, with the 3 maps series, each of the 3 maps should correspond to an individual map as a separate game (unless the individual map is too simple to justify a separate game).
And that's what I'm up to here, in the long run. I'll make my 3 maps, and if there isn't a close equivalent for any of the three, I'll make individual games for each of them. When there are close equivalents for one map, I'll make 2 individual games. If there are 2 similar games, I get to make one individual game. And if all three are covered, I just get the 3 map game. Fair enough, I feel.
Thanks again.

Hi Tickman
You forgot to fill up one dot on the middle map, the city near Bhamo: Myitkinã.
By the way you can find a nice quiz about the States and Divisions here

Finally, the flag image is by the Open Clip Art Library, which has released it into the public domain.

I should note that I've simplified the ethnolinguistic component a little for clarity.
And it's hard to assign city names: do you use the old or the new? Look at different maps and you get a different set of names. And even in the same map, there are sometimes a mix of old and new...
