There a few things to consider about it : First I had to make the Free Cities territory fit into the map dimensions. Hence it ended up with some lands on the top of the map that aren't that much relevant for its purpose. So I did put the cartouche here Also a bit of empty space is never a bad thing on a map, that balances well the overall composition.
