Scott - It goes to national (physically controlled) boundaries is my sense - haven't done a thorough check.
But, as an example, in 1750 the area which is Germany in 2012 - all the states, city states, electorates, etc are shown because that was the reality at the time - there was no Germany. Also in 1750 in France - it shows the areas of Lorraine were in Franceand also shows the smaller areas within Lorraine (Salm, Saarwerden, Saar) that were part of Nassau. However, there were no other boundaries "within" France shown. Hope that helps. Play with the free period to explore it further.
