World map, 1924–1925
On 1 July of every year from 1924 to 1925, IntMap’s historical map draws the same 178 names within the world. The borders come from CShapes 2.0 (day by day), then Cliopatria, Seshat Global History Databank (by year) — each drawn only where the records before it are silent. The map also draws 4 outlines here that the source gives no name.

Listed: every name whose outline IntMap draws inside 180°W–180°E, 90°S–90°N on this date, with the name the map writes on it. 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. Names are the source’s own, translated where the source or IntMap’s name table has a translation.
