` :Why not simply show the Viceroyalty of New Spain, Viceroyalty of New Granada and the Viceroyalty of Peru?  Showing current borders is just wrong when many of them were defined after independence.  Guinea Bisseau should just be labelled ``Guinea``.  As for reliability, you need to explain how the maps I have shown (in what would certainly be considered reliable sources) do not show the areas that yours show (in questionably reliable sources).  The first step in doing this would be to provide written references that back up the claims in these maps.  If you are unable to provide written references, it casts doubt on the claims made in the map, doesn't it?  It would be strange, for example, for North Borneo to have been part of the Spanish Empire yet no historian has ever written about it explicitly stating so?    `
