When it comes to provincial colours as long as Tripoli ID is used for Holland (for one event) and Syria stays where it is it should be fine.
As you can see certain areas lost contact with each other and for example Switzerland is considerably bigger, but that can be discussed later.
Right now the choice of new areas how I see it.
We get The Netherlands how they should look like, more areas in Germany, two province safer Portugal (Azores instead of Algavre), more Baltic provinces, Denmark safe if its fleet protects its capital, Royal Hungary shielding HRE, eastern steppes in much better condition than they are right now.
A number of factions is given two provinces and some are better protected - see Austria now shielded by Royal Hungary and Carinthia.
Northern Africa is divided because land expansion through Africa should be impossible without a fleet. This should also force the Ottomans to attack in Europe and against Georgia (or Persia if it is present).
I am rather happy with those choices, though a land corridor might be added (in startpos files not on the map) between Milan, Spanish possessions in south-east France and Flandres if we feel it should be there.
