Every country in the colour the game gives it, with no subject merged into its overlord. 95 countries change colour against the political map: Hungary becomes its own brown, Croatia its own pink, every Indian princely state its own. The other 22 subjects already showed their own colour there, because the game merges only some kinds: Serbia is a tributary and its brick is the same on both maps.

Markets
328 markets. A country owns its market unless it is a subject, so most of this is the political map: only 21 countries change colour here, over 35 of the 1146 owned shapes. Korea trades in China's market, Serbia in Turkey's. Click a state to read its market.
Market areas
429 market areas. A market area is the part of a market that land or a strait connects, so a market spread over two continents holds several. A colour only says that two areas differ.
