Well, I've done Italy but the file is too big to attach. The Upload function doesn't work for me either.

UPDATE!
Most of Europe is finished. This means Italy, Austria, Hungary, the Carpathians, and the ex-Yugoslavia. What's left is Romania, Thrace, Greece, and Albania. I'll probably finish Turkey, Arabia, and the fertile crescent today too. Mesopotamia, Persia, Armenia, and Asia will be left for sometime during the next few days.

What govts will you be making? I can think of 4 right off the bat:
1) Thocracy, a la the Holy Roman Empire/ Papal States
2)Khanate (or ruler of a Khan) a la the Golden Horde
3) Monarchy
4) Sultanate

@ mrtn: thanks for the advice. I think I'll add another set of tiles on the bottom of the toe and shorten Sicily a bit. I'm doing Turkey next, and then following the coast to Mecca.
@ Amenhotep7: Hmm, good question. We'll have to think about that later when we get to the tech tree. Taking yours and adding whatever's on top of my head, I can give you the following:
Theocracy
Khanate
Monarchy
Sultanate
Caliphate
Tzardom
Mercantile State

Yes, since each of these types of rulers ruled differently, IMHO, and it's for flavor.

Between Caliphate and Sultanate I'm not sure. Between Tzardom and Kingdom yes. It is the difference between a small slavic state and an empire.
I think a good solution would be to have the Ottomans start with a Sultanate.
However, Cairo should have a special wonder which is required to have Caliphate as a government. I guess this was possible in C3C, can't recall now. But this would perfectly mimic the transfer of the title "Caliph" to the Ottoman Sultan after the conquest of the Mamelukes.
And a comment on the map;
There should be the isle of Corfu represented by any means. It was the furthest the Ottomans could go near the Italians on the Mediterranean peninsula, and the failure of the siege of Corfu is very important in Ottoman history.

Good ideas. Where exactly is Corfu... could you find a map online or something, because I'd add it right away?
Speaking of the map, I'll continue it now.

Ok, I added Corfu, finished Arabia, Turkey, Israel, and Syria, and started on Mesopotamia. I've gotten to the most boring part of the map, and it's starting to take it's toll 
Oh well, I have free time this weekend and soon we start on tech tree.

. I'm assuming you are Muslim too, since you're Bosnian, right?)
(Translation for the ones who wonder what it means: aaminion00 wished me a nice bairam, which is an annual Muslim celebration, and I thanked him by wishing him the best, too).

Good news! I'm about to finish the map. The only thing that remains is Iraq, Armenia, and Asia, and I'm done. Eta: half an hour or so. Of course we might want to go over the details once I'm done.
Also, with the tech tree discussion, should we first figure out all the basic units, buildings, and wonders we want, or do we go for plotting out the tech tree first and adding everything in later?
@SpincruS: Yep, i'm muslim as well.

MAP IS COMPLETED. Here you can download the rough draft. I'm accepting all constructive criticism... unless it's going to kill me fixing it. I'll release a public version with the standard resources tonight for the rest of the C3C community, and fix the map up for our scenario by wednesday or so. I'm also going to post some previews. Here you can download if you wish for a better look.
