Jeee's Better Provinces
A map overhaul mod for the true cartographic connoisseur.

Tired of border gore ruining your empire's aesthetic?
Jeee's Better Provinces redesigns the map to make provinces cleaner, more historical, and way more satisfying to look at.

This mod focuses on improving how provinces are shaped and aligned—so forming nations, waging war, and redrawing maps all result in borders that actually look good. Whether you're a world conquest enthusiast or a casual map painter, this is the visual upgrade your campaigns deserve.

Features:
• Reworked province shapes with historical accuracy in mind
• Drastically reduced border gore across the world
• Smoother, more immersive map visuals
• No new provinces added — 100% compatible with the vanilla province setup
• Can be used with existing saves, as long as they’re on the vanilla map
• Great for screenshots, roleplay, and cleaner saves

Regions Improved So Far:

🌎 Americas
• USA (with individual states for clean and realistic borders)
• Canada
• Mexico
• Central America
• Caribbean Islands
• All of South America

🌍 Europe
• Germany
• France
• Italy
• Netherlands
• Austria
• Poland
• Finland
• Ottoman Europe (Balkans & Anatolia)

🌏 Middle East & Asia
• Arabia
• Egypt
• Iran
• Afghanistan
• Caucasus Region (Georgia, Armenia, Azerbaijan and surrounding areas)
• Parts of India

More regions will be added in future updates!

Important Notes:
Not Ironman-compatible
No new provinces added – fully compatible with the vanilla province count
Safe to use with existing saves, as long as they are played on the vanilla map

Good mod but it makes the Sind Sagar region look very strange. One of the provinces in this region doesn't share a border with the other provinces of that region.

thanks for adding the link to my mod in the desc.
It could be changed like some other provinces, making eastern part of "vidin" a part of Serbian province Branicevo. Montenegro (Zeta) pretty same, making herzegovina a bit smaller. Nothing so serious, it will just look more realistic and nice looking at it. I mean Afghanistan has realistic modern*** borders as well as Palestine, why not Serbia :)

@✠ 𝓓𝓡𝓐𝓖𝓞 ✠ Ah I see, I thought you meant ingame bug, I unfortunately can't add any new provinces as that would break many things for most players and would cause issues with other mods so sometimes I can't move provinces and there is some inaccuracy in the positioning of the provinces of a certain state.

Well, there are no issues like bugs or something, but if feedbacks are welcome - here is one. Province named "vidin" actually takes half of Western Serbia, it would make sense to 1) split it in 2 provinces: Timok or Negotin (Serbian culture and core) and Vidin (Bulgarian), or 2) split in 2 and Serbian part make a part of Smederevo province. Montenegro is also halved, while the other half is given to Herzegovina.

@✠ 𝓓𝓡𝓐𝓖𝓞 ✠ I don't see an issue with it?

Any chance of fixing Montenegro, Syrmia and Vidin? Serbian borders are same as vanilla, except that Montenegro has been ruined. Any chance of fixing Western Serbia (Negotin/Timok) because for some reason it belongs to "vidin"? @Jeee

put the credits in the description, trust me, people never read old comments. and don't worry, i'm not mad, but you should do these things, don't just take other's work. :)

@Adrynki1001 I apologize, your mod is just quite broken however but I'll link it here. I apologize if you were offended by me :)

Bro, great mod. BUT you need to give credits. in this mod, you have copied some of my mod's provinces shapes. so don't go playing around and telling me that you did it yourself. i don't care if you use them, BUT, i do care IF you don't give the credit. i hope you understand.
