      I was there at the time, had the paper,

            Ireland immediately before the Norman invasion - bold capitals are the major kingdoms of the era, while bold non-capital are the major rulers, and italics are other significant chieftains:

                  Provincial or county data would have been interesting for Ireland:

                      I presume one would do county for Ireland.

                      Their choice of "province" is weird. They use the newfangled administrative regions for France and Italy (to which there is little allegiance), but sub-Land divisions for Germany (where the Lander have important powers)

                        Is it referring specifically to the region in the map? I had hoped that the question just referred to a sub national region of some sort. So Bavaria for example would be captured even if it covered multiple NUTS

                          I don't know for sure, but it would seem perverse to show different level "regions" on the map if that were not the case

                                  Top Right, click on "Add Layer" first
                                  Click on the layer you want (there are 3 pages that can be toggled at the top...it will turn the green plus sign to a red minus sign, which will be the only way you know it's loaded)
                                  Close the layer menu with the x in the top right
                                  You will see a bunch of colors, then click on "legend" in the top right next to "layers" to see the, uhhhhh, legend.

                                  The major crops and regions and tonnage produced of any state in every country in the world, or most countries. Or a lot of countries. Or countries that grow something. Or something.

                                  (This was part of the lesson plan that got me my National Geographic Certified Educator certification. We show how the climate zones impact the crops grown in a particular region. For instance, rice grows in the south of .py which is a humid temperate region - no dry season, whilst peanuts grow in the drier parts in the Chaco in the occidental region. Then we compare the crop to a similar one in another country, and see if it needs a similar climate to grow.)

                                          Which countries are currently issuing the EU Covid Digital Cert, and which ones are capable of doing so, but are holding off for now.

                                            Someone on Reddit has put a lot of effort into the backstory behind this, where contemporary England never unites, but essentially remains on Heptarchic lines, with the northern kingdoms Norse influenced, Anglia and London speaking modern English, Middle English dominant in the Midlands, and the West Country a buffer zone. Meanwhile, Ireland, Scotland and Wales are all monoglot Celts:

                                                    Not at all sure why Avon would ever have been separate to Wessex. Cornwall, however, would never have been part of it (and arguably Devon west of the Exe, too.)
