So, I finally finished this. A visual timeline of Golarion. This is taking the golarion timeline from the inner sea world guide, adding in a few other events and cropping out some things that didn't feel like map events. Then I found a clean map of the inner sea (from Humans of Golarion) and back-edited it to remove things that changed the landscape (eye of abendego, worldwound, Absalom, mana wastes, and earthfall).
Then I filled in new nation borders at each step of the timeline. Most of these are based on pretty sketchy descriptions, but I went with what I had. Some things I don't have dates for and had to take some guesses at.
I also decided to only shade regions that have some form of area-wide government. Saying this of the mammoth lords and early numeria is a stretch, I'll admit. Varisia and the Mwangi expanse never get shaded, as apart from a few city-states, they never get an overall government. They only even got named when colonial powers moved in next to them, as I decided this map was in-universe made by the pathfinder society, and as such is a bit absalom-centric. (Really, I had to draw the line somewhere and that was as good a justification as any).
Then I added a few graphics and text bubbles just to make things more interesting. Even friends who know nothing about pathfinder at least found those amusing.
I will try to upload some clean png's of the altered terrain tomorrow.
That was awesome. Thank you for taking the time to do that and for sharing it.
Great work! Thanks for sharing.
Pretty awesome. One nit: Seems 4th Mendevian Crusade wasn't in there (I could have missed it but I was trying pretty hard to look for it between the 3rd and 5th Crusades).

It's true, it's not in there because the inner sea world guide made no mention of it. I knew there was one, but hadn't tracked down when it was so I left it out. I'll have to see if I can dig up dates elsewhere.

Fourth Mendevian Crusade (4692 AR – 4707 AR) from the Wiki page
Oh hey, now I can put Golarion history in an actual order in my head!
