Edits:
-Damagaram existed as an independant state in it's boundries shown in the map in the section from 1893-1899 meaning it existed for a maximum of 6 years, before it was a rather autonomous vassal of Bornu
-Muhammed Ali proclaimed the Khedivate beforemj 1867, but noone but Muhammed Ali recognized that
-The flag of Prussia used in-game looks more like the Merchant Ensign from 1863-1892
-Many seem to think the flag of Massina I showed is from 2021 and that I didn't check the sources. That is wrong
the flag was already used by HPM in 2018 and I saw a flag shop, who otherwise had historically accurate flags, use the same one for Massina, even *if* it isn't historical, it'd still be a better placeholder than a randomly generated one
