The Simpsons Movie also states that the city is in a state that borders Nevada, Ohio, Kentucky, and Maine, IIRC. 
Let's ignore the Simpsons Movie when talking about the location of Springfield, then.
The Simpsons Movie is canon though!

Incidentally, that's the third time that that particular quote's been brought up, and the first time it hasn't been ignored.The Simpsons Movie also states that the city is in a state that borders Nevada, Ohio, Kentucky, and Maine, IIRC.
Mediterranean climate?

That inland sea seems so sad, as it is so close to being part of the rest of the oceans. I hope that lake within an island within a sea within a continent has a few small islands with perhaps some ponds on them as well

The idea was that the Northern continent and the Southern continent smashed into each other, creating those mountains just West to the inland sea while totally enclosing the inland sea with that small bridge.
There's a lake in the Philippines that has an island in it with a lake with an islet.

The reason I am sceptical is that statistic pertaining to things like ethnic and religious identity have a long history of being abused by Balkan nationalists, be they Serbs, Croats, Albanians, or others. Your maps basically try to tell us that pretty much everyone was Serbian in 1910, which is suspicious in itself (are you a Serb by nationality?).
Furthermore, I don't really think you can make such divisions prior to 1995. Serbs, Croats, Bosniaks, "Montenegrins", "Macedonians" were, linguistically speaking, one community (with local dialects of course). The differences were religious and partially cultural. Therefore, I am not sure that if in 1910 I asked a person you count as a "Serb" what his nationality was, he'd say "Serbian". Many of these people would probably stare at me as if I was a complete idiot and then they'd answer that they are South Slavs, or Serbocroatian, or something like that, I don't think they themselves knew what they were. Most likely they'd tell me what their religion was - Catholic, Orthodox, or Muslim.
My advice (and I am on your side, BTW) is: stop obsessing about the past. It's gone - focus on the future.

And i am not surprised...though the first map has some mistakes (mostly in Vojvodina where there should be Romanians. First map was done by Serbian and world recognized geographer (you should have heard about him) and is by far the most trustworthy ethnic map of Balkan peninsula.
You find them hard to believe cause the maps that you saw from that period were done by German and Austrian scientists, and there propaganda against Serbia and Serbs was in full power in those days (ww1 began with A-H declaration of war against Kingdom of Serbia, it was 26th proposal of war from A-H military to it's government in 6 years). They were trying to crush our pretensions to Old Serbia (which was by 1912. in Ottoman Empire - today part of Serbia and Macedonia) and to Serbian parts of A-H monarchy. So part of the pre-war propaganda was many of ethnic maps made by Austrian and Hungarian historians in which Serbian people wasn't majority in any of Empires districts.
A-H wanted coast in the south....in south Adriatic sea and Aegean sea. A-H and Russia battled to spread there spheres of interest in Balkan (Eastern Question). Serbians where under Russian sphere of interest and Croatians and Albanians in A-H. I would write more....but there is a lot more....and my hand hurts
Oh yeah....one more thing. In Bosnia and Herzegovina....in the tie of 1910. there were 43% Serbs, 50% Muslim Serbs and 7% Croatians....but Muslim Serbs where concentrated in several regions so there majority doesn't stick out on the map
