Not sure if it was on here or a different site (I think the most likely offsite culprit would be one of the map subreddits, although it might have been on Deviantart), but does anyone remember seeing a map depicting a non-European Kerguelen Empire (referring to itself as Vo'chuk)? It didn't involve a raised Kerguelen plateau scenario, since the empire consisted solely of islands, and the Kerguelen civilization in the map became a maritime trading empire before declining after European contact.
Map Thread XXII
- Thread starter Balkanized U.S.A
- Start date
Which would be pretty easy to independently verify anyway. If it's still coloured as a colony on the earlier map then simply check Wikipedia for the independence date and change it in the later map accordingly. The only other difference might be some vaguely defined frontlines in any ongoing conflicts.
Fortunately for you, a quick search reveals that Wikipedia has been kind enough to compile a very long list of changes to national borders throughout history. Just start at 1980 (or whatever year your basemap is) and look at what changes happen between then and your POD.
The main differences in territorial and administrative changes from 1980 to 1985 that I have in mind are:
- Until 18 April 1980 Zimbabwe was under temporary British control due to the Rhodesia/Zimbabwe situation
- Until 30 July 1980 Vanuatu was a joint British-French condominium
- Until 21 September 1981 Belize was a British colony
- Until 1 November 1981 Antigua and Barbuda was a British colony
- Until 19 September 1983 Saint Kitts and Nevis was a British colony
- Until 1 January 1984 Brunei was a British protectorate

The timeline starts on November 9, 1983 with the outbreak of World War III, so………….there’s that.
So Brunei may technically remain a UK protectorate if either one still exists but probably only on paper because I've always assumed Britain = Threads in WW3 scenarios unless they're entirely removed from the equation somehow
An invasion of the OTL present (2018 when I originally wrote the story) by the Cybermen from Doctor Who. After five years, massive ecological devastation, and billions of deaths, the humans wipe out the Cybermen and are forced to pick up the pieces. All the while lone cybermen retreat into the Arctic, the deep sea, the caves and hidden places, and plot the ultimate revenge...What's the gist of your idea here?
The People's Republic of Serbo-Croatia with its capital city in Hvar.

Well I'm not knowledgeable about Doctor Who like at all, alas. What's up with California and Texas? And I take it Vladivostok is full of Han Chinese now? 'cause if I'm alive ITTL I'd be annoyed by that outcome lmao
Cybermen are human brains put inside steel exoskeletons. They want to convert humans into other Cybermen. That's basically all you needed to know for the TL.
California and Texas got overrun early on in the war and were turned into 'conversion zones' (essentially giant open air factories pumping out Cybermen). Both regions got depopulated during the fighting. Even two decades after the war there aren't a lot of people there so both areas are unincorporated territories.
Russia splintered into several successor states early on in the war after Moscow got nuked. China decided to send 'peacekeepers' into Eastern Siberia. And yeah, you'd probably be right to be pissed off, since the China ITTL saw a Maoist revival...
I'd be shooting so many people its making me get chills but yay its fantasy P:
LA did surprisingly well, considering that it would be so desirable a target, st least compared to San Diego being filled with military bases. Or am I missing it and it is Orange County that is safe? God bless you Walt Disney, you and your Imagineers did it again. We promise to save your head from the space collectors. And a shame England lost so many people in their south, but I guess the negatives are offset with the population dip past their North. Really surprising the zdutch aren’t in the Zebulon here, given they should need to know to evacuate since their are aliens in this world who attack in cinematic manners. Meaning a need to evacuate to higher ground when the aliens blow up the dikes. Ahhh eight, Cybermen. I was thinking Daley’s. Yah, I can see why they were waiting on LA. Get the rest of the coast first. That, or there cost of land for facilities was too high in LA.
The enclave is a reconstructed City of LA, the vanguard of the US recolonization effort. The City of Angels got wiped clean in the first days of the war.
Things were pretty bloody what with massive populations that got overrun early on. After the war steady re-population of the south with northerners began (finally getting revenge for the Harrying). There's a Neo-Luddite State (light green) waging a successful insurgency in the Thames Valley.
There's so few Dutch left that when the Western European Federation's (big blue power in WE) tanks come rolling across the border there will be few people left to oppose them, and even fewer who actually care to.
I did consider having a faction called The Sentinels...

Uhhhhhhhhhhhhh. Britain still exists, but it’s NOT quite that simple on this specific case. To be honest.
