Cool!

One of the countries in 1800 renders as “M?ori” for me, so it looks like you have some kind of character encoding issues (or there’s some language I don’t know about where ? is a letter).

Feature request: is there a way to get a blurb about one’s current country? Lots of people on this site will get “Viceroyalty of New Spain” (the pre-independence name of Mexico, which included the entire current American Southwest incl. California and Texas) when they switch to 1800 and might want to learn more about it.

I think this error may be in the historical-basemaps data, because it is also present on https://historicborders.app/year/1800?lng=169.5234304&lat=-4...

It's more than character encoding. If you click on it, the description of New Zealand is "a quintuple star system some 1,200 light-years from the Sun"
