I can't seem to find any actual names for this region, or maps that show it as a region at all except for the aboriginal territory maps, but I do have a couple of ideas.

1. The original occupation of that area was still native, so maybe name it after what the settlers called it, the Kamberra or Nganberra region (These were the names of the area after settlers conversed with some of the local indigenous people.)
2. Canberra was built on limestone plains, so maybe limestone plains?
3. Remove the territory altogether, or adjust it so it is west of Sydney and name it the blue mountains?

That's all I can think of, but if you think of something better, all good.

Hitler: I think I'l go with option 2, thanks for helping

Lionheart: Well Spain is connected with the Canary Islands, and I'll make more connections as I add nations.

When I meant to make europe with more provinces, I supposed you could increase just the European part on the map. As it is the most important front, it could be even larger. Another benefit of having a bigger europe is that you can put more countries on the map (German and Italian minors) that were very important on the different campaigns France fought.

Well if you look at Italy, you'll see that I'm already making the territories small enough to have small states included when appropriate. However, thinking about it, I may increase the territories for larger nations as well, because Spain's income is still slightly OP because of its oversees empire.

That is just not true, Britain was arguable more powerful. This is 1789 not 1600-1700.

Juq, Apollo is right, Spain was no longer as powerful as in the 1600s, economically in crisis, and its army/navy no longer frightened anybody.

I would say that the turning point was the invicible armada defeat, which proved that Spain has no longer the supremacy of the Seas.

About UK, the reforms initiated by William III and the Dutch were decisive (as they brought their knowledge in economics and finance) and also a turning point for the next centuries.

Change the name of the territory "Tampa" Tampa did not exists to the 19th century.
Instead call it St Augustine which was the main Spanish settlement

More like the 1710's, by the 1810's there were many countries more powerful than Spain.

If, in 1800, a Spaniard reflected back upon the Spanish Empire's history, he would describe the 1710s as one of the lowest points. The Bourbon reforms actually did a lot to help Spain recover from the dark days and you could even argue that it had overtaken France by 1789. A lot of people seem to think that Spain peeked in about 1600 and then declined from then on, but this is not true. It had a second peek in the late 18th Century.

Indeed Spain had a period of growth after the Bourbon's reforms, but should we go as far as to say that it had overtaken France which was during that period by far the first european power? I dont think so.

I don't believe France controlled Nice at this point (Sardinia Piedmont did) so it should be renamed to Marseilles or Toulon. Also is it intentianal that you have named islands after the islands whilst naming everything else after the cities? It's not just islands but colonies as well.
