Minor native kingdom in Sulawesi, now part of Indonesia, formed by the Kaili ethnic group. Apparently has existed since the 1200s. Didn't do much historically; their animist religion seems cool though. Converted to Islam sometime in the 1600s. Incorporated into the Dutch East Indies sometime between 1900 and 1915, though they were allowed to keep their royal family and borders until the 1930s.
Now all that remains is Sigi Regency in Central Sulawesi and their former capital Biromaru (at least, I think it was their capital).
(Please accept Fouta Tooro for Futa Toro.)
Despite being Greek, I had never heard about Tamrash, but turns out it did exist for a short period of time from 1878 to 1886. Never recognised, but still de-facto existed
But I think Eastern Rumelia should have counted. At the time of the map it was as autonomous as Bulgaria, so I'm not sure
Eastern Rumelia did de facto cease to exist after it entered into a personal union and unified with Bulgaria in 1885. This status of legal fiction only officially ended after Bulgaria declared independence in 1908.
The Principality of Samos is missing, it was an Ottoman vassal but still a separate state, and Sikkim was independent as well, as a protectorate of the British Raj with a similar relation to that which Bhutan had as laid out in the 1861 protectorate treaty.
the Lao states of Luang Phrabang and Champasak are also similar, Siamese vassals, but still separate states, as are Kedah and Kelantan. There may also be some other Malay sultanates that were vassals to but separate from Siam, but I can't recall them at the moment.
I'm a bit on the fence about Samos; its semi-independent nature where the governing prince was appointed by the Ottoman sultan makes me lean towards not adding it.
Sikkim is definitely getting added along with some other forgotten small kingdoms (e. g. Talamanca, Baidah, etc.) in the next update though, haha.
I do believe the Sultanate of Sulu is missing in the southern Philippines.
Long story short, I have some big admiration for all the research that went into this.
