Map Thread XXII

I'll be the first to concede that this (a, isn't very plausible and (b, was mainly created to justify not working on more important things, but I'm still open to your thoughts...


Croatia and Bosnia don't seem to have much reason to stick with Hungary, and that Hungarian-Romanian border suggests there has already been a war, albeit a negotiated peace or one in which Germany put its oar in to prevent a total disaster for Hungary. Also, Namibia I can believe, but given that Tanzania had a population of over 4 million already by WWI (it is currently around 60 million) I think the ship for a German plurality East Africa had probably sailed by then, unless by plurality you mean "largest of the 120-odd ethnic groups", which with the current largest being about 16% of the total might just be possible with an early enough demographic transition. :winkytongue:

VEDRIX THE GREAT

In a world where Alexander the Great is never born, and his place is taken by a Roman named Faustus Vedrix, the struggle between the old and the new reaches its zenith.

In the side of the old, there is the fakhists, and the Empire of Nova Celtica, under the Emperor Radalf. As the Great War between the Greek Republic and the Celtic Empire reached its end, the peace of New Carthage seemingly sealed the fate of the latter and crowned the Helene Oligarchia as the strongest in the world, yet their debts after the war and the success in dethroning the Czar of Finnmark to establish a revolutionary order, proved the contrary. Swiftly, the Celts heard Radalf from the Nationalist People's Party and followed his steps to overthrow the oligarchies of Corinth as illegitimate and restore the order of harmony of the kings and emperors. On their side, were the Valkyrie orders in Skandel, and the Regency of Kairo, that embarked in a conquest that shall demonstrate the might of those who followed the legacy of Vedrix.

But at the side of the new, there is the Eurasian Socialist Federation, under Iakob Giorgadze, leading the future of the world under the word of the philosopher Araisgan. And with them, some of their uneasy allies, like the "land of the Aryans" in India, the kingdoms in Africa that seek to free themselves from the colonization of the Celts, or the Persians that once weakened by their overextension, have recovered. All of them shall overcome the bloodbath of the Empire, the brutality of the Wars, and the inefficiency of the Regencies. They shall join at the moment, for the struggle for a future is just starting.

But there is also the forgotten nation: China. As the conquests of the Japanese soon forced the Koreans to migrate en masse, the divisions were to be expected. However, between the rowdy governor of the Zhiaolin Clique, with Korean blood, with Chinese heart, and with Japanese loyalty, has opposed the destruction of China as a nation, the Paiking Government and its rusty yet moving machinery, the Chinese socialists under Kim Tse-li, and the Democratic ideologues in Xi, it is finally seeming that the half-millennium of disgrace is finally coming to an end, no matter the cost.

(Did you like it? For being my first shot, I think it's pretty ok. However, it bugs me that I represented an element of the old with simple numbers, and the regions of a modern, vanguard nation with Roman numbers.

Lastly, I also want to give special thanks to water123 for this absolutely useful post: https://www.alternatehistory.com/forum/threads/so-you-want-to-make-a-worlda-tutorial.444452/).

What, uh, is Atrig?
A Post-Amish town and state named after it (don't mind the temporary capital shift). Former Etridge, Tennessee.
What’s Barn? Just a really cool barn still standing in a field somewhere?
It's Berne after some vowel shifts.
I was really confused until I started reading everything in a Boston accent. I love the idea of Boston-accent becoming top dog.
I basically tried to just play around with vowel shifts. Didn't know it would result in reinventing a Boston accent

Gone Fishin'
A silly map inspired by an old thread. It will all end in tears, mark my words.
Thirty-something colonial powers compared to OTL’s 11 in 1914 is a lot - but I appreciate the eye for detail in colonial and protectorate borders, and making Ethiopia, the Sikh Empire and Bengal into colonial powers - Hindustan as large-scale land Ireland?.

Sort of. Hindustan is mostly Hindu and some Muslims, few Sikhs, so there is a bit of a religious issue, which in turn leads to a more "colonial" sort of administrative control. That will change if a large enough proportion of the population - or at least a large enough proportion of the elites - convert to the Sikh faith.

What a gorgeous map! I would love to see a thread that contains the lore for this map game.

Some questions:
  1. How did the Roosevelts obtain the title of Columbian Emperor?
  2. How was Belgium formed ITTL?
  3. Is Norway in a personal union with Denmark? And if so, how long did it last for?
  4. Do the Habsburgs exist ITTL?
  5. What are the origins of the House of Windsor ITTL?
