Whenever you see a blurry reposted screenshot, know that it's because OP stole those pixels to use in this map.

Maybe I’m just seeing what I want to see, but these areas seem to more closely represent natural regional divisions—the desert area has one group, the hills another, etc. I imagine it made your community feel pretty cohesive.
Keep in mind that they while they did have tribal territory and such these aren't borders per se, so for quite a lot of this map their "territory" follows those regions because it's convenient for the map maker and they don't want to leave gaps!
Would be cool if these were still today's national borders.
National, not state, I think no country should be bigger than 150000 square miles (or 400000 square kilometers)
Thank you for not splitting up Germany again.
That's the maximum, I think the ideal is around half of that. They better watch out 😁
I wish it went further north.
