Other countries not in the books?

Good Mortereve and happy Friday!
I've been playing with the idea of building a Narnia-themed Risk game, so I searched the web for some good Narnia world maps. I think I saw a post saying not to post links, so I won't do that, but the map I found showed something I've never seen before: This version of the map had countries far to the north, south, and west. It's especially interesting because I don't remember any of these places from the books.
1. To the north was "Bruha Gliwad" (a.k.a. Witch's Country). I got a laugh out of this one because "bruja" is Spanish for witch (and the J is pronounced H too). But what is this? I know in MN the White Witch fled to the north, and in SC the entrance to the other witch's domain was in the north as well. But I don't remember either of them having their own country (unless you count Charn or the Underworld, but neither of those are on the map I plan to use for the game ).
2. In the south, beyond Calormen, are a whole bunch of countries I've never heard of: Einuno, Dosnii, Tatlodrei, Vierneige, and Femvissi. My best guess is maybe there were some obscure references to these places in HHB or TLB somewhere? What is known about them, if anything?
3. There were also others, small islands I don't know much about, like the Bight of Calormen or Narrowhaven, but I at least know they're referenced in the books. I don't know if much is known about them either, but I'm pretty sure Caspian sailed to all of them.
Anyway, I'd enjoy any info you may have, and I'm sure this will be a fun discussion with those more knowledgeable than I. I thought I knew Narnia inside out and backwards, but I guess not (lol). Or is this so out there it could be a "stump Glumpuddle" question?
