Germany.

The Rhine and other rivers are roughly indicated, but
the only river named is the donau (Danube, E 47), to the
north of which the German Emperor is seated on his
throne. There is no Imperial standard, the only flags
being those of Flanders and of Denmark (at the mouth of
the Elbe). There are six coats of arms, namely those of
Westphalia, Saxony, Bavaria, of the Teutonic knights,
Nuremberg and Miilhausen in the Elsass (a wheel argent
in a red field). The town of Miilhausen is not named,
and the coat of Bavaria occupies the site of Nuremberg
(called Behaim on the globe), a forecast only realised in
1806, when that Franconian city was assigned to Bavaria.

A man, seated on a chair, may represent a Stuhlherr
or Judge, of the Vehm, which from Westphalia had
spread over all Germany.
