Neo-Ptolemac Kingdom? Are there even any non-Christian Hellenes in Egypt anymore, and how will they control all the Egyptian Christians?

Byzantium hellezined Egypt much more in this timeline, and besides the Neo-Ptolemaic Kingdom does not truly matter as it got eaten by the Arabs only like a century later

That's fine, but how did they get un-Christianized between Diocletian and declaring the Neo-Ptolemaic Kingdom?
I dont believe i said anything about them being not Christian, the original Ptolemaic Egypt was around before Christianity was around, so i didnt think the religion would matter. It was mostly picked to invoke a Greek Egypt in order to stop the common ethnic Egyptians from overthrowing them, as the leading seceders were local Greek governors.

If they don't follow pre-Christian religion, what ties them to the Ptolemies though? If anything that would invoke incest and stuff, as well as pagan oppression of Christians. Why wouldn't they just call themselves Egypt. The geographical and political term Egypt was borrowed into Latin from Greek, so if they just call themselves Egypt while using Greek alphabet and spelling, then they already invoke Greek Egypt.
A relatively simple map made for the latest chapter of my TL concerning a war between Britain, Prussia and Russia in 1791. The map depicts the hunt for the Russian Counter Admiral Ushakov by an Allied Fleet of British, Ottoman and Algerian ships, ending in the Battle of Ochakov and pyrrhic victory for either the Allies or Russia, depending on who you ask.
The timeline, including the relevant chapter, can be found here.

he may have big internet number but I have never heard a single adult person describe themselves as a "big Mr Beast fan", the vast majority of his subs are either small children or casual viewers who don't really care about him that much. if it was someone like idk Kanye or Taylor Swift, people who actually have devotees, it would be more plausible (which is to say, still ridiculous, but my disbelief would be kinda suspendable)

Basically the guy claimed to be a relative of Ptolemy to gain power in Egypt, so followed through when he basically seceded.
While I'm not going to say that it's impossible for a guy to gain power by claiming relation to a family that's been out of power (and possibly entirely extinct?) for 450+ years, that's basically how the Fatimids gained power after all, it's extremely unlikely, with pretender claims more or less losing mainstream popularity after only a generation or two. It would be like someone claiming to be a descendant of the Ming Dynasty trying to take control of modern mainland China because of his family connections: while there is some nostalgia for the Ming (as far as I've heard), the family itself and anyone claiming to be from it is entirely irrelevant. The Fatimids were able to get away with it just because of how important the family they were claiming relation to was.

Map of the German Republic and its
The German Republic adheres to a version of Rousseau’s philosophy, as interpreted by the Republic’s founders. In practice, TTL’s Germany’s ideology is fairly similar to that of the Jacobins IOTL, but with a few differences. Like revolutionary France IOTL, Germany is surrounded by enemies(namely, Britain, France, Russia, and Austria), all of whom would like to see the revolution extinguished. The Germans, in turn, would like to spread their values of Freiheit, Einheit, Gerechtigkeit throughout Europe and beyond. Due to this precarious situation, the Republic requires all male citizens to serve a minimum of three years in the military upon reaching legal adulthood. While the Republic has not gone to war since the Prussian Revolution(1848) and subsequent War of German Unification(1848-1854), it has put down several rebellions in its predominantly Catholic southern provinces, as well as its colonial empire(they see no dissonance between preaching liberty and oppressing their colonies). As tensions between the republic and its monarchist neighbors increases, the looming possibility of war once again threatens Europe.
Child Labor Army Commune! Mr. Beast puts on an eyepatch and creates Outer Beastland, where children labor to make his chocolate bars, burgers, and pull trash out of the ocean.
Speaking of Outer Heaven…
To be honest i didnt really put that much into them considering in this timeline the state only existed from 589 to 633 before being conquered by the Arabs

I see the British Russia with the comparatively late POD and have questions- occupation during a civil war? A lot of the polities featured (Italian Libya, greater Second Reich) are familiar to AH enough to be featured on “Cliché Maps” but this has a unique spin
Also, Monarchy World by Tony Jones deserves a cover despite its spacefilling empires because “fewer plausible number of countries with no ARW” isn’t that common of a theme, and there are lots of internal borderd

What basemap are you using?WIP: cover of a map for one of the earliest notable AH projects online, Trolleyworld. I've used some ideas from Edelstein's Male Rising world for Very Federal India.
In the Trolleyworld timeline, the impactor which hit Tunguska hit St. Petersburg instead, decapitating the Russian government and setting off a messy multi-sided civil war. The Germans and Austrians moved in to Restore Order, with the Ottomans getting involved later: the British and French eventually got involved to prevent the Germanic nations from entirely dominating the former Russian Empire, and things turned into the long and bloody Eurowar, which ended in essentially stalemate.
On my (far too long) "to do" list.
Too large to attach: someone else gave me a link, so give me some time to track it down.
