  1. Catalonia becomes independent in 1714

    VII. French Constitution One of the most effective and also most popular decrees the emergent French National Assembly introduced in its short lifespan was the Military Act of 1795 which saw the general organisation of a united French Army and the introduction of conscription. Despite the...

  2. Map Thread X

    Thanks! I used a world vector map I had somewhere on my PC as a base. I then cut out the coastline, the rivers and the current states' borders (all as vector paths) from it and made this map. All effects, bar the old paper texture, were made with Illustrator. Now, the great thing about...

  3. Map Thread X

    Here's an alternative US scenario, with them gaining Nova Scotia somehow. This is taken from my timeline, but since I like focussing on maps I figured I'd post it here, too. :) EDIT: Noted that I linked to a previous version.

  4. Catalonia becomes independent in 1714

    Just to give this timeline a small boost and add another flavour, here's a map showing the US after gaining independence in 1797.

  5. Catalonia becomes independent in 1714

    In this update I mainly focussed on the United States and their Revolutionary War. I will also try to add a map soon which will depict the current situation in this timeline. I'm not really happy with this update since I wrote it at different times and it thus may lack coherence - judge...

  6. Catalonia becomes independent in 1714

    Gràcies to Gian, Metacomet and Tobit for your interest, the timeline slowed down, partly because it appeared to me as if nobody had any further interest, partly because I had some very stressful weeks. I am particularly grateful for Tobit's feedback. :) The Kingdom of Catalonia would, by...

  7. MotF 70: The People's Choice

    The timeline for this map sees a rapidly developing European integration after the end of World War II. Rather than being divided into a Soviet and an American sphere of influence, the European nations decide to work together and make their common voice heard in the world. The European Army...

  8. Map of the Fortnight: Main thread

    I said I will participate in the current MotF. This is still the case, although I have some minor facelifting left to do. So I'll put in my contribution tomorrow morning (European time), if that's still okay. :)

  9. Map of the Fortnight: Main thread

    I'm pretty far with my project, but wouldn't mind an extension.

  10. Catalonia becomes independent in 1714

    V. In search for liberty The polls for the first Parisian election with (almost) universal suffrage closed 3 days after they opened. Some votes went missing, others were rigged. Secret ballots did not exist at that time and by today’s standards this election would have been considered no...

  11. Catalonia becomes independent in 1714

    Hi and thanks for your thoughts and comments! :) Yeah, of course I meant the Sun King. Thanks, I somehow swapped the numerals without noticing. :) True, Spain's claim for France should not have been enforced by Luis II, but 60 years can be a very long time and Luis was perhaps not the...

  12. Catalonia becomes independent in 1714

    IV. Revolutionary rumbles People thought that the Franco-British War would be last for their time being. They were utterly wrong. Throughout the second half of the XVIII century there were several minor conflicts and the appearance of enlightened absolutism in Prussia, Spain and elsewhere...

  13. MotF 69: ALL ABOARD! 2

    Well, with Blomma's awesome entry, I just have unnessecarily lost my time but here it is, my entry. Had I have the time, I might have added more lines and made the whole thing look nicer so I would have been able to compete, but with my time budget - no way. Enjoy nevertheless. :) ___ This...

  14. Map of the Fortnight: Main thread

    OK. By the way, do you mind extending the deadline for one single day? I'm afraid I won't finish tonight...

  15. Map of the Fortnight: Main thread

    I can't decide... what would you guys rather like to see: A map of a trans-European high-speed network, or a map of Berlin local transit in an alternate timeline?

  16. Catalonia becomes independent in 1714

    You're both right. The ties to what we call today Catalunya-Nord were much stronger back then, yet the War was the War of the Spanish Succession and was resolved with the European Balance of Power in mind. While giving Perpinyá to Catalonia would not tip that balance in favour of the Habsburgs...

  17. Map of the Fortnight: Main thread

    I plan on entering, too.

  18. MotF 68: A Mile Between, A World Away - Voting thread

    Thank you all for your votes and congratulations to the respectable winner with a great scenario. :) The font I used for the cities was Hoefler. And while doing the map I really noticed I have to revise my French skills. :P I hope my time limitations will allow me to participate in the next...

  19. MotF 68: A Mile Between, A World Away

    Sie sollen ihn nicht haben, den freien deutschen Rhein! This map assumes a slightly more successful Napoleonic Empire that is able to retain Wallonia and parts of Switzerland. Napoleon survives politically and manages to settle peace with the British and the Russians, leaving France as the...

  20. The Alphabetic Bouts of Cartography: Discussion & Entries

    I wouldn't say that. In the end, the vote decides and it's not only the detailness of the map but the story behind that counts. And I've always been not very good at the background stories. Quebec is much more plausible, I guess.
