Description A large Germany, no real backstory just a map of an alternate Germany^^ 

I would love any comments or critique on what I did good and can do better

Interesting. The map is very orderly and clear.

Two things I'd say you could improve on are:
Use dots to represent cities, rather than small pentagons.
Don't make the name Germany wonky, it would look better if it was fully curved or fully straight. (I have OCD)

The rest, other people have already said. That's about it.  Nice work.

This map looks really nice, but not as good as some of your previous maps.

What you can do better:
1)I understand that you don't want to make new borders everytime, but the lack of borders of others states somehow makes Germany loose scale.
2)If you use the German names it is Leipzig instead of Leibzig and Straßburg instead of Strassbourg.

What looks good:
1)The rivers in the map look really good.
2)The numbers of cities added look fine.

What I would like to see added, but isn't essential, are the Ruhrgebiet and the Upper Silesia Industrial Area. Alone its cities are too small to be part of such a map, but together they form metropolitan areas of immense importance.
