How these dates were made

Real dates from Wikidata, checked against the atlas.

These are real dates: Netherlands Indies's founding and dissolution are recorded in Wikidata, and accepted here only because they agree with the centuries the atlas independently drew it in. The atlas itself draws the world at 3 moments in time, not continuously. The strip below covers those snapshots — 1880 CE to 1914 CE — which sits inside the fuller span above.
