I'm assuming the independent Scotland and Ireland represent the lack of either Act of Union, but I'm not sure what the independent Wales is about- that would seem to suggest either that Welsh nationalist got an implausibly early start, or that the Plantagenet state was far weaker in this time-line, which really should've had ramifications beyond Wales...

Act of Union? There never was such a thing in this timeline as the Danish Empire is a direct descendant of Cnut's Empire. Wales and Scotland were vassals of the Danes for a few centuries and gradually became independent as the Danish were overstretch in various continental wars. Copenhagen just didn't care enough about sheep to do anything about them getting uppity.
The Ottomans obviously don't exist in TTL.
It's colored Greek green, so it's obviously the Byzantines.

That gray in the Americas is the Holy Roman Empire?

Orkenia. A breakaway republic from the former Danish new world colonies. It's basically the USA of this world.
Yes.
Damn...
Well at least I can take solace in the fact that there is still some sort of caliphate... er something.

It's an Absolute Theocracy lead by descendants of Muhammad. None of those silly branch offs happened in TTL so the Islamic world is fairly unified.

Other than the fact that it looks like Poznan, Sieradz and Kalisz are Silesian.
Also, if as a result of WWI, Prussia/East Pomerania became independent, Kujawy region would've been Russian.

Garbage day!!!
I'm trying to understand what historical logic did you follow. I assume that in the iberian peninsula history went like this:
1. Castille and Navarre unite.
2. Kingdom of León controls the western peninsula. Portugal never forms.
3. Catalan counties and Aragón remain under the frankish sphere.
4. The union of two kingdoms (Navarre-Castille) seems to be highly unstable, which make them to fail in the reconquista effort.
5. León becomes the superpower of the reconquista.
6. Due to the lack of aragonese expansion in the mediterranean and the failed castillian expansion in central iberian peninsula, the Al-Andalus attains to keep the eastern and the southern parts of the peninsula under their control.
It's the only logic explanation I find.

That's pretty close. The reconquista wasn't only failed by weakened states in Iberia but also by the stability of the Caliph.
