An incorrect geopolitical map of the world

Why doesn't your geopolitical map of the world reflect the reality of 2019? Under which international documents does Crimea belong to Russia?

De Facto control, and the will of the Crimean people.

When I make the map I go by de facto control. So Crimea will have Ukrainian culture, but be occupied by Russia.

Then those territories could be displayed differently on the map, for example using hatching. Otherwise, if the game ever comes out on Steam, there could be problems.

There wouldn't be a problem. There are like 3 people in the world that would look deeply in to assume the creator is pro Russia because they... showed them controlling land they control (legally or not). This is like saying games like hoi4 could get in trouble for showing Germany controlling Poland in 1943.

That comparison is inaccurate. What happened is in the past, and those responsible have been punished. If we tolerate territorial seizures now, we’ll be back in 1943, and they’ll be happening all over the world. It is precisely to redraw the map in this way that dictators begin their annexations.
