    Morocco being “al-Maghrib” is suprising to me, since I know al-Maghrib as the Maghreb region, aka the part of north Africa that speaks Maghreb Arabic (al-Maġrib al-ʿArabī).

    Wikipedia says it’s المملكة المغربية which is “al-Mamlakah al-Maghribiyah” but I don’t know if the map’s version is an acceptable shorthand.
