Map of Europe edit

When was this map prepared? It supposedly describes the Mozart family tour of 1763, and yet the borders and indeed the countries are those of 2009 or so. There was no Croatia then, no Czechoslovakia or Belgium, and Salzburg was an independent in its own right. the borders shown for "Italy" only came into effect in 1919, and in 1763 there was no such thing as a state of Italy.
