Welcome to the list of frequently occurring map oversights, conveniently abbreviated as a FOMO.
This list includes recurring map errors and also mapmaking errors that had lore mental gymnastics applied.
Europe
Aland (Sweden)
- The error: Shows up as Finnish in older maps, and Swedish in Newer maps (post-GW).
- Resolution: Sweden keeps it after the GW, given to them by NatReps to appease them and guarantee neutrality.
Azores/Madeira (Portugal)
- Error: Showed up as Spanish in some maps.
- Resolution: Irreconcilable error. Just make sure it's Portuguese in new maps.
Southeast Asia
Soenda/Timor borders
- Error: Sumbawa and Lomboc keeps on changing ownership from Spanish/Dutch.
- Resolution: Please see the map on the Timor page. Lore justification: Spain offers to purchase the two islands from NL in 1911. It becomes part of Timor.
