Hah, looks just like the map I first postedTo help Diamond feel better I'll post this really old map I made (oh about four years ago...just as I was discovering the concept of AH):

Cool map Shadow, but it's kinda small . . .

Chinese are going to hate me...
Note: The date is late 60's.
I don´t think the POD must be pre-Russian Revolution. After all its also the post-Sowjet Union flag. Maybe in this world Communism falled in the 1950th and not in the 1980th. Maybe the hungarian Revolution lead to a chain-reaction.Nice flag-map, though I question the identical borders in India if the POD is pre-Russian Revolution (as evidenced by the Tsarist Russia).

Heh. Why does China still retain Qinghai and Guangxi, while were at it?
So how do you explain the identical borders and flags to OTL in the Indian subcontinent?The POD is very earlier, in 1870. However, butterflies didn't spand to Russia and Asia until ca.1910, during TTL Great War. Communist revolution failed (Lenin, among other things, wasn't able to travel to Russia) and Russia suffered a short period of liberalization followed by other of fascist autocracy. In the real sense, this Union of All Russias (even the Monarchy was later abolished, so it isn't known as Russian Empire) have many things in common with Stalinist Russia: a supreme leader with cult-personality, purges, concentration camps in Siberia, etc. East Turkestan, Mongolia, Manchuria, Corea and Japan are just Russian puppets, mostly stablished after WW2.
War conquest and all that stuff. The Republic of China doesn't recognize the independence of Tibet, East Turkestan, Mongolia and Manchuria. The first is likely to lose its independence as soon as finish the wars against the others. However, this is delayed more and more due to the firm Russian support to the northern rebel states and the conseqent internalproblems in China.

Well, the purpose of this map was just to show alternate versions of China and Russia, you don't need to pay many atention to the Indian subcontinent. I recognize that I'm not very informed on Indian history, but I don't believe that the absense of Communism in Asia could cause a different India/Pakistan split or different Indian flags.
Actually, there are little changes in Indian borders. Arunachal Pradesh and Aksai Chin are still in Indian hands.
It's more the flags I have problems with. The Indian flag only dates from 1931 and there even BEING a state of Pakistan is basically dependent on one man being in the same position as OTL, never mind having the same flag.

How do you do flag maps?
I understand your objection.
A Teutonic state in the Balkans!?!-Be sure to include some sort of Teutonic state or it’s successor in the Balkans. Rest is up to you.
Diamond? Anyone?
