Map Thread XXII

If you don’t know, not sure how common this knowledge is so sorry if I come off as condescending, the Lithunian Rus is as its name suggests a historiographic theory that the grand duchy of Lithuania was the true successor to the Kievan Rus
it's true
Lithuania -> Cossacks
not sure how this works though

There's an even crazier historiographical theory which claims that the Lithuanians are actually descended from the ancient Romans via Pontic refugees:
That's rookie stuff.

Try this

An alternate scenario of colonial empires by 1820, after analogue Revolutions in America and Europe:


To add some context: Spanish South America would be an analogue 'loyalist colony' as IOTL Canada, but in South America. The North American Federation comprises former British, Germanic, Spanish and French colonies, even if some of them like Acadia, Newfoundland, Acadia or Florida were still retained by their corresponding colonial powers.
The surviving Byzantine Empire has also established some colonies across the Indian Ocean.

What if pretty much every Allied country, including ex-Axis ones, got a slice of Germany?
And what if instead of unifying, they were all made their own countries?

How are you planning to deal with Austria?
BTW, why does Italy gain and not lose?

Austria would just be the same as OTL, maybe without the occupation or a smaller one with fewer countries. I actually considered giving Austria their own zone in Germany but figured I had enough. Italy gets a slice since they defected from the Axis, also, I intended for each zone to become its own country, not get annexed into the occupying power.

The Beginning of the Great War
1890

Following the sinking of HS. Hamburg in the North sea, mistaken for an Iberian warship by a Brytisk naval vessel during the latest Anglisk-Iberian war over slavery in the Avalonian colonies, a rapid escalation caused the outbreak of a major land war in Europe for the first time since the Plague Wars. With battle lines drawn between the Arc Alliance of Slavia, Sweden-Denmark, Norway and Bryten, and the Concertine powers of Germany, the United Kingdom and Wendlund, and their auxiliary ally of Iberia, the war could be Europe's bloodiest. Who will emerge victorious?

If you're struggling to read this, it's because the articles are headlined in a con-lang called Anglisk. This is based on the amazing shared worlds succession game This Sceptred Isle, run by @Major Crimson, which has (no joke) created an astonishing lore-building project and game starting in 1066 with the victory of Harald Hardrada over William of Normandy and Harold Godwinson. You can read the timeline here.
