Surprise update! Dramatic redrawing of Germany and Italy. Map is still (reasonably) historically accurate, and this time with much more sensible borders in Germany and balanced supply center distribution at game start.

Change log
Miscellaneous:
* Water recolored to lighter shade of blue; in-between old shade and vDip standard.
* Numbered provinces have been renumbered to follow geography more logically.
* Caucasus borders fixed to be of similar quality to the rest of the borders on the map.
Germany:
* Duesseldorf renamed to Ruhr.
* Ruhr demoted from supply center to regular.
* Silesia partitioned:
+ Silesia reduced to actual historical Silesia (outside of Breslau, which remains untouched).
+ Berlin expanded to annex strip of former-Silesia separating it from Saxony.
+ Frankfurt created from westernmost piece of Silesia.
* Frankfurt promoted from regular to supply center.
* Ostpreussen broken into two provinces:
+ Lebusland formed from section of former-Ostpreussen annexed from Poland during the Third Partition.
+ Ostpreussen remains as historical part of eastern Prussia.
* Wurzburg annexed into Franken.
* Rhine Confederation renamed to Rhineland.
* Hesse-Kassel renamed to Hessia.
Italy:
* Modena annexed into Parma.
* Parma demoted from supply center to regular.
* Papal States renamed to Rome.
Anatolia:
* Smyrna annexes the part of Syria that is actually in modern Turkey. [Editor's Note: This slight geographic snafu actually should affect balance significantly, and positively; Erzurum no longer borders Syria, reducing the threat that a convoy there might cause, and more importantly, Smyrna now borders Armenia, giving Russia and Ottomans equal opportunity on Caucasus.]
Spain:
* Galicia renamed to Vigo in keeping with province-naming consistency.
