Map
Few inaccuracies and errors:


 * Genoa had lost its Crimeans territories to the Ottomans in 1475.
 * That is not where Saxony is at all. It's actually between where Hesse, Bohemia, and Poland are.
 * Brandenburg is north of there, but not on the coast like you have it. That's actually the Duchy of Pomerania.
 * Hesse and Trier are too big - Tier is too far north, Hesse too far east/west.
 * Trier should be replaced by Cologne.
 * Then too, you are missing Bavaria, Thuringia, Baden, and Wurtemburg, none of which were small states.
 * Hungary did not lose territory to the Ottomans - at least near that much, at any rate - until after around 1514. In 1500, they possessed Croatia, northern Serbia, and areas in-between.
 * Wallachia and Moldavia were independent at this time.
 * Venice controlled the Ionian Islands (the vast majority, at least) until the late 1500s.
 * Naples was part of Spain.
 * France did not control a fair portion of its eastern frontiers near Belgium and Germany until the next century. The Franche-Comté area, for instance, was part of Austria. Needs to be more minor HRE states there instead.
 * The western half of the area you have marked as Saxony was part of the Austrian Netherlands.
 * Savoy held coastal territory.
 * Genoa held more of the coast than you have them as holding - Milan did not touch it at all, really.
 * Venice controlled most of the coast of Istria and Dalmatia, not the Ottomans. The same goes for much of coastal Albania.
 * The Teutonic Order controlled Livonia and Prussia until the 1520s. They also controlled all of eastern Prussia, not just the otl modern Russian territory like you have on here.
 * The Polish-Lithuanian border was further east, and the Poles controlled more of the area between Pomerania and the Order-in-Prussia.
