Description
Alright, so previously I sold out Denmark to the Germans ; but dear Danes, I'm making up for it. What if Denmark had somehow managed to hold on to historical possessions such as Schleswig, Holstein, Scania, Blekinge, and Halland? This is how it might look like.For places in IRL current non-Danish territories I used actual Danish exonyms when available; otherwise, I did my best to create plausible adaptations to Danish, to the extent my very limited knowledge of Danish allows. Feel free to use the comment section to correct any mistakes and/or silly stuff.
EDIT 2018-06-23: updated Halland borders and added legend (the layer was accidentally disabled for the initial export).
EDIT 2018-06-24: spelling fixes, added Christianopel.
EDIT 2018-06-25: added Lübeck-Nordersted road.

Thanks for the compliment! To be honest, I did not research that.

Great map! A tiny comment would be that you used the new borders of Hallands Län from 1970 here. If you used the historic Halland Landskaps borders, that little bulge into Småland wouldn't be there.

Thanks for pointing that out! I might revise the map with that in mind.
