Well what do you know. Maybe there was Goidemar of Redania between Sambuk and Abrad or Abrad and Radovid The Great :P Seriously though, in my book, the alphabet is canon as long as it doesn’t directly conflict "harder canon" (i.e. books and genealogies). Therefore if alphabet describes Maecht as Province, but then Fenn says it's a "Kingdom [...], and administratetively march of the Province of Metinna" than the latter is correct.

Due to the fact that Province of Metinna consists of 2 semi-autonomous kingdoms, I'm sure Province doesn’t equal Province (Nordlings just use the term for every land dependant on Nilfgaard im one way or another, it seems). On the other hand, a kingdom can easily become Province if it refuses to surrender and swear fealty in time (e.g. Geso).

As for Angren, I always considered it a country but one consumed by wilderness and mostly unadvanced barbaric. Whom did it belong to? I guess it's similar to how Riverdell's history was described: a disputed strip of land fought over by Temerians, Soddeners, Rivians and others until Nilfgaard came around.
