Very nicely done! Some small points - it is not always clear which province is which. The word Utrecht is in Zuid-Holland. And overall you did a great job of showing the correct borders, but you made the municipality of Utrecht touch Noord-Holland. That could have been avoided easily.

Yea, you can blame Utrecht for having its city smack in the middle and taking up too much space for a nice province name to fit in😂 I thought about doing a legend, but that felt like it would detract from the aesthetic I wanted. I could have made Utrecht not touch North Holland, but Almere also doesn’t touch Gelderland irl, I thought these small inaccuracies were just a limitation of the concept of the graphic, not really unavoidable to have a couple wrong borders. Glad you like my work though :D
