Great.

I disagree slightly with your choice, but I won't start any arguments.

Anyway, I have a few comments here and there, and refer to small
mistakes in the legends:

Brazil was founded as a colony of Portugal.

I should have provided proper english translations here.

The region(/country/...)'s name is:

Catalunya (in catalan)
Cataluña  (in spanish)
Catalonia (in english)

So the legend should read "Catalunya (aka Catalonia) is the [...]". Or
better yet: "Catalonia (Catalunya in its native language) is the [...]".

"Catalon dos Pasos" is a wrong translation of "Països Catalans".
The actual name (in english) is "Catalan Countries".

That's "Puente alto", not "Puente Alto" (I should know, I did the city
list on this ruleset).
