    The actors of Ukrainian history, and many more rulers

    • Rulers and reigns
    • Names and languages
    • Data and accuracy

    The atlas used to hold a person only if eighty or more Wikipedias wrote about them, which kept out almost everyone who mattered most to one country's history and was written up mainly in its own language. It now also holds every head of state its lines of rulers name, everyone the articles of its states and events keep naming, the living, and - by name - the actors of Ukrainian history: the hetmans from Sahaidachny to Rozumovsky, the princes of Kyiv and Halych, the leaders of the Ukrainian People's Republic, and its writers, composers, scholars and clergy. The Cossack Hetmanate and the Zaporizhian Sich are states on the timeline and the map, and the Hetmanate's hetmans belong to the state they ruled.

    • Bohdan Khmelnytsky, Petro Doroshenko, Ivan Mazepa and Petro Konashevych-Sahaidachny open from search and from the timeline. Khmelnytsky, Doroshenko and Mazepa are placed with the Hetmanate they led rather than with the Commonwealth on their papers; Sahaidachny, who died before the Hetmanate was founded, still reads the Commonwealth.
    • Hryhorii Skovoroda, Ivan Kotliarevsky, Marko Vovchok, Mykola Lysenko, Dmytro Bortniansky, Artemy Vedel and hundreds more are in the atlas: people who were citizens of a Ukrainian state, were born or worked in Ukraine, or wrote in Ukrainian.
    • Living people are in the atlas, and read as living - their panel says there is no death on record, and their span runs to the present.
    • Far more states now have a line of rulers for Succession: the Ming, the Qing, the Han and the Tang have their emperors, Assyria and Babylon their kings, the Safavids their shahs, the Gupta Empire its emperors. The rulers are read from every place the record keeps them - the office, the term that names the dynasty, the state's own list of its heads, a title, a family.
    • Japan's line includes Hirohito again: a reign now counts where it overlaps a state's years, not only where it began inside them.
    • Ukrainian cities on the map are spelled as Ukrainians spell them - Kryvyi Rih, Bilhorod-Dnistrovskyi, Bakhchysarai, Nizhyn, Mykolaiv, Zaporizhzhia - and carry the name of each year: Katerynoslav, Dnipropetrovsk and, since 2016, Dnipro; Yelysavethrad, Kirovohrad and Kropyvnytskyi; Khadzhybei before Odesa; Stanyslaviv before Ivano-Frankivsk.
