Well I took the time to revamp my turn sheet to break my colonial territories out by region and province type.
You'll see how I've broken 'Cape Karoo' into 2 provinces to abide by the 4-wide x 4 deep region size.
Same with my Brazilian and Sumatran holdings.

I also split them out in my Non-Naval Summary.

Oddities :
Phenix Yehud : aka New Zealand : Meant as Judah Reborn.
Cyrus the Great returned the Jews to Judah, and when Exodus occurred, Rome's enemy... Persia...took in a large number.
Under Khosrow II, Jerusalem was liberated and returned to the Jews, but only for a short time before Byzantium retook the area and kicked them out.
Since then, there's been a large number of Jews, and even a Noble caste of them, within the Parthian world.
But for 1400 years there's been this Parthian promise of a Jewish homeland.

Historically, when the Maori got trade rifles, they wound up trying to exterminate each other. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Musket_Wars

For Navalism, I was going to let that 30 year war continue to "now" in 1914, and so after 100 years of massacre have there be only 20-30,000 maori left on the North Island,
a number which can be swiftly overwhelmed by colonists.
so the Parthians will honor their ancient pledge as best possible and the Jewish people will establish a new land there, in a place largely emptied.

Anyhow, that was all stories I hoped to actually tell, but are reduced to summary now :(

The oddest region is the Lapita one, which are the South Pacific islands held by that people.
I'm trying not to have islands more than ~750nm apart be part of the same region,
and those all chain together, but not Hawaii, so I've left that separate.
Did they beat the drum slowly,
Did they play the fife lowly,
Did they sound the death march, as they lowered you down,
Did the band play the last post and chorus,
Did the pipes play the flowers of the forest
