And here I'm seeing an independent Cyrenaica/Barqah, and British got their pointy northwestern edge in Sudan back....

the belgian borders are wrong, Belgium and some northern french departments where combined into the Belgium North France Reichskomissariate

The map shows Europe in November 1942. The Belgian/N. France Reichskommisariat wasn't set up yet, so the map is essentially correct. The Belgian/N. France Reichskommisariat was set up in 1943.

Here's a map showing one possible outcome of the Caucasus conflict. In this scenario, the conflict ends w/ both South Ossetia, and Abkhazia as internationally recognized independent nations.

Here's another map showing another possible outcome. In this scenario, the Caucasus conflict ends w/ both Abkhazia, and South Ossetia annexed into the Russian Federation.

What about Poti?

Who knows. I haven't heard anything about the future of P'ot'i, whether or not the Russians plan to retain control or relinqish control of the port, that seems to be up for grabs, but for the moment they control the port, but given their track record thus far in this conflict, anything wouldn't suprise me in the least. All I can say, is stay tuned. One possibility for the future of P'ot'i is that the Georgians could be forced to lease the port to Russia in the same fashion that the Finnish were forced to lease Porkkala, a port just west of Helsinki, to the USSR back in the 1940s and 1950s.

I think this is most likely, though the two states would be comepletely dependent on Russia.

The way things stand now, I would agree, although Abkhazia probably would do a much better job surviving as a viable independent nation due to having a decent port within its borders, and the fact that it doesn't want anything to do w/ either Russia or Georgia, than South Ossetia which has a very small population, and is deep within the Caucasus mountains, and is ethnically related to North Ossetia, and the fact that part of its population expresses a desire to join w/ Russia, so in light of that, it is a possibility that South Ossetia could merge w/ North Ossetia, and as a result become part of Russia.

Like so?...

Yes, that would be the gist of it. Currently the situation is this, the Russian parliment (Duma), has unanimously voted in favor of recognizing both Abkhazia, and South Ossetia as independent sovereign states, but in reality they would be regarded as Russian satraps, vassals, call them what you want. This move has pissed off the US and the west, as if we and the rest of the western world, i.e. the EU has room to talk, after all the US and most EU nations went ahead and recognized Kosovo as an independent nation. So therefore I don't think we need to be bitching about Russia recognizing Abkhazia, and South Ossetia as independent nations.

Btw, can I request for a World map (standard UCS world map) that depicts internal divisions of European colonial possessions and dominions in mainly Africa ? Thanks in advance.

Is there a good map of Paraguay and environs around 1864? Pre-WOFTTA.

[ryackov]

I'd like to have a 1917 and a 1924 BAM world map or one using the wikipedia world map.

And what are those countries in southern Arabia?

What countries in southern Arabia?

[ryackov]

On some other maps I've seen that show the 1917 & 1925 worlds has some odd countries on the bottom of Arabia. I have no clue what they are in the first place, so I can't really know why their there either.

And if you complain why I don't use any of those, I would like a BAM or one based on the wikipedia map (since that's easier to look at and read in my opinion.

They're probably the Kingdom of Hejaz, 'Asir, Ha'il, Jizan and Nejd. Saudi Arabia was united by the House of Saud around 1921, so on a 1917 map they'd still be there!
