Map of Southeast Asia in 1787
On 1 July 1787, IntMap’s historical map draws 54 names within Southeast Asia. The borders for this date come from OpenHistoricalMap (day by day), then Cliopatria, Seshat Global History Databank (by year), then historical-basemaps — each drawn only where the records before it are silent. The map also draws 7 outlines here that the source gives no name.

The list is worked out when the site is built, from the same records and the same code the map uses, so it says what the map shows — not more.
