North America in 1784

[TLS]

Note: New York reversed its cession to the Congress in 1783. Claims are just at game start; players are free to add new claims, or drop them, as the game progresses.



Note: Purple indicates disputed, without indicating who is disputing, while grey indicates unclaimed. Areas technically only claimed by one state, but inaccessible without going through another states claims, are shaded disputed. Claims are only of European states, this does not indicate native tribes nor whether an area is frontier. This map is for guidance more than to indicate hard borders and claims.
