Can't see any real problem. France and Italy are spot on. Just maybe the shade of blue for France is not right, as it was recently changed back to the Imperial Napoleonic Blue.

Micro SF/F by O. Westin"I have questions about this interstellar travel form," the human said. "What should I put at 'Rose'?"
"The star system you are traveling from," xFfy said.
"I see. And at 'Violet'?"
"The one you're traveling to."
"Ah. Who translated this form?"
"Our best poets, well versed in human poetry."

Jeff@cstross @tilton @a_cubed NIST ordered it, and there's no give or take. A US inch is exactly 25.4mm to as much precision as your equipment allows. That is the official definition, and why I like to call US customary units The Worst Version of the Metric System. NIST redefined everything in terms of metric units half a century ago.
