The overview map is the authoritative source about the status of a territory.

When I started Opengeofiction I thought: let’s just add an owner tag to every country relation, then export all those relation and create the overview map automatically. That didn’t work out, for two reasons.

First, automatic placement of country names is kind of hard. Second, many users don’t maintain their country relations too well, so a lot of them are broken.

Now I use always the same exported data and only change colors and names. That’s why changes in OGF don’t always appear on the overview map. Also at some point I stopped maintaining the “ogf:owner” tags. In this case, you can change it to “[free]” if you want, or just ignore it.
