What's that tiny dot in western Germany? And didn't the japanese get all of Sakhalin?
I think it's Geneva or whatever left of Switzerland

Which one bigger Russia or the U.S*?
I'm pretty sure Coast line wise U.S* is longer but for overall control territory
Man, but Russian Tibet is incredibly ugly. For God's sake, give it independence so Russia can get a more pleasing shape.
Or properly annex Persia and Iraq, so it looks like Russia is some huge beast galloping along on stubby legs (Bulgaria is the lower jaw, Courland the upper and Lake Ladoga the eye) - coming soon to a German propaganda poster near you!
Why is British Central Africa called British Central Africa?
Is this confirmation Canada doesn't join New England, post-vitalism, or just that its civil war takes a while?
Maps! Yummy, beautiful maps!
Are there any other differences between the two maps besides the American territories in SoAm?
I'm still betting on a balkanised Canada. Part taken over by/joining New England while the rest is split between an independent Quebec, a Republic and a rump Kingdom.

Sorry, I just remembered Geneva.
How did they convince themselves annexing that much of that part of Brazil was a good idea? Mind-boggling.
Great maps! But I have two quibbles.
1. The lines around protectorates/states under influence seem a bit too narrow on my monitor. Might want to widen them a bit.
2. I'm fairly sure the Aragonese Congo is defunct. IIRC, Aragon ceded it to Germany as part of its separate peace settlement. Germany didn't manage to occupy it however, and I believe there were references to parts of the north being in British Central Africa. I think it was essentially partitioned by the RE and Portugal, with the dividing line more or less running SW to NE
Heck, the *US isn't even bigger than OTL 2008 Russia (I estimate the US at ~16.5 million km2, to 17.2 million), much less the Russian UberEmpire, that I eyeball at a ludicrous 28.9 million km2, even before the looser states of the Federation are included!

Come to think of it, North China should be filled in solid purple - it's clearly still part of the Russian Empire, even if it eventually becomes a federated state.
Southern Brazil is the part worth enslaving, Northern Brazil is the part that likes being ruled by an Emperor (i.e. is a U.S puppet), and the Republic is the part slaves can run away to (i.e. more U.S troops spent dying in Chile, not the Amazon).
What towns? There is nothing in the Amazon worth talking about further west or north than Manaus unless you're an ecologist or anthropologist (neither of which describe the average Jackal), so unless you really want a timeline where the ENTIRE Amazon rainforest is burned to the ground, this makes the most sense.But it would have made much more sense to pick up those empty stretches of rainforest in the northwest. The native peoples could be easily marginalized, the towns flooded with Anglophonic settlers, and you're done.
No matter how valuable the place is, southern Brazil should have been another protectorate to begin with. The end result is the same and the financial, military, and especially administrative commitment much less. I mean, they knew better with the Yucatan, but not a place bigger than New England on the wrong side of the continent?

BTW, finished the chapters page at the wiki now.

What exactly is the difference between being a Russian Federated State like Finland and being a protectorate like Turkey? Since it's mentioned that some federated states can be so independent as setting it's own economic and foreign policy.
One other thing I was wondering what is the current relationship between New England and the US by the end of the timeline?

There's rubber in them thar trees. In Acre, anyway. And agriculture (even the more sustainable plantation kind) is possible in spots. It's shipping the stuff out that's hard.
The point is, it soothes the national neighbor-gobbling instinct, without causing any trouble to speak of.
Heck, why not go as far south and east as Manaus? Or a border with Equador? The locals are already sparse, and a lot would clear out for one Brazil or the other, so it's not a big population you're holding down.
Plus with transportation the way it is, all you need to do to keep guerrillas from sneaking in is hold the river towns. Even if someone sneaks around - hundreds of miles through the trackless rainforest - there's no local communities for them to live off of. They'd be hunter-gatherers with rifles, and then their bullets would run out.
Heck even with all they already annexed it'd almost be worth it. Not much of an expense next to the rest of their conquests.
Other DoD related should be made as well there is a lot of link that don't lead to anything
Thought I admit that DoD nearly need a wiki for itself
Well, anyway, here's a revised map of 1935:
