IMO "people start doing things they'd never do in real life for no reason" can be just as interesting as giant-robot-alien and wizards type of ASB.
Most published alternate histories are basically just that, and quite a few of them have pretty interesting alternate worlds.

Ah, okay.I sorta stopped reading when the pro-Axis US bit came up, I'm afraid.
Something like that. It seems to me that my "transformation" was the reverse of that of Dr Jekyll - who found himself increasingly turning into Mr Hyde, until finally finding his transformation permanent - in that I was more like Mr Hyde, but increasing became Dr Jekyll, until becoming affable and generally logical permanently.
One small niggle is that Lesser Britain is Brittany, as called by the Romans, where as they didn't consider the Irish inhabitants "Britons"Here. To make up for the last map, here's a map that, though also ASB, simply has a lot better visual style.

You had the unfortunate luck of posting before Tangle.
But seeing this map, I am left wondering how South America could be that cut-up and intresting looking, especially Paraguay.

From the Dominion of Southern America (link in sig) timeline:
The invasion of Japan in is a blood bath as the Japanese fight to hold off the Soviets and the Americans, but ultimately it is futile and Japan is divided between Soviet occupied North and American occupied South.
Is Australia occupying south Honshu?

The World in 2060:
If the Bengalese don't want to join predicted population of 223,000,000 people with India I do not see why the Indians would push the point. Heck, they would have doubled their Muslim population in one moment short moment, giving Islamic parties a huge opportunity to make or break any coalition. Strange how Indonesia got to take Singapore, though.The World in 2060:
The World is still reeling from a deadly string of conflicts in the middle east. All that were capped by the death of a half million people when Detroit was destroyed by a Saudi nuke planted by Islamists. Israel and Egypt faced off with tanks in the Sinai and Golan Heights during the 12 Weeks War while the conflict idled at the edge of nuclear holocaust. The old Saudi regime was knocked from power once the oil ran out and its nuclear arsenal was scattered to the ends of the earth. In Persia and Pakistan the Balochi insurgency is uniting traditional rivals. And even now a new conflict between Egypt and its newly formed Middle East Coalition against Persia and its allies threatens to rip apart an unstable region.
Europe is now unified under the auspices of the European Federation and is debatably the world's superpower. Yet gridlock between federalists and euroskeptics threaten to allow ethnic conflict in the Balkans to grow out of control. Russia has stabilized after several regime changes, and currently is experiencing a boom. Yet it is still a third-rate power and it is uncertain how long it can maintain growth with its longstanding conflicts.
Africa is still struggling through the postcolonial era. East Africa has unified and is a beacon of progress to the rest of the continent. But the Congo is a morass of ethnic conflict, many states in Central Africa have objectively failed, and perhaps worse of all; South Africa has all but fallen apart into ethnic and economic conflict. West Africa is a mixed bag. Nations are dominated by continued political corruption, foreign corporations, and criminal organizations. But a select group of nations led by Nigeria have experienced tremendous progress and have promise to make the region a economic powerhouse.
The Americas have remained relatively peaceful. America though no longer the supreme power in the world has remained prominent. But in the aftermath of Detroit things have begun to deteriorate. The government had become authoritarian and is increasingly utterly dominated by corporations. Criminal syndicates and gangs control the cities. Militias and domestic terrorism is increasingly out of control. Mexico and Brazil have boomed in the 21st century and are considered to have bright futures.
East Asia is the industrial and cultural hotspot of the world. The dual powers of India and China dominate the continent though nations such as Korea, Japan, Indonesia, and Pakistan are important and independent players. Though currently peaceful there have been several bloody border skirmishs and undercurrents of tension between nuclear armed states. The focus is currently on Southeast Asia and Central Asia where the great powers are vying for dominance and influence. But the other conflicts of the region cannot be neglected. The Naxalite and Bengal insurgencies are a perennial problem for India along with its longstanding Kashmir conflict. China continues to face resistance to its totalitarian regime. The East has bloomed though it is uncertain how far it rise.
As this is my freshman map making effort I am totally open to advice both on content and on visuals. Any and all feedback is appreciated.
I am the real Krall - I just stopped relying on emotion so much and starting understanding the world through logic. Heck, I've been a polite gentlemanly type since about 2009; I honestly can't remember the last time I berated someone for their poor map-making skills!
The first thing I remembered when I read this was, of course, this post.
China would not control Taiwan, aside form the fact what happened to America would cause them to suffer a major economic emergency, the only way for them to take Taiwan is by force, and Taiwan would make sure it decimated as much of Southern China (the heartland of China's economy) as it could before being overrun.
How did Sudan manage to reunite?
