If you look at the small picture on top, you can see a pink-ish line in the full size image (not the blue one in France) and that means the borders of HRE. Netherlands didn't exist that time, only smaller states like Holland, Brabant and Friesland.

Also, if I'm right, Ottomans have some land on Crimea too and they did have possibly the strongest and largest navy in the world during this era (Venice and Spain were after that, England after them).
