- Coverage is limited to one selected entity in Central Europe at 1783, 1815 and 1880. Outside the entity means outside reviewed coverage, not ungoverned territory.
- Generalized GPL source polygons are cropped to this chapter. Their precision cannot establish parcel-level jurisdiction or contested local frontiers.
- Borders crossfade only as a visual transition; no intermediate year, event date or morphing frontier is asserted.
- The 1783 source label Austrian Empire is corrected to Habsburg hereditary lands, since the empire was created in 1804.
- This is a source-based editorial check, not an independent historian's review. Internal crownland boundaries, local minority histories and overlapping Holy Roman institutions need further chapters.
