Map Challenge

[General Mung Beans]

How can this map happen with a POD between 1850 and 1950? Apologies, since the map is horrid but I used Microsoft Paint.

Have you ever heard of the pain bucket tool?

[Alternatehistorybuff5341]

Dude, why didn't you use the paint bucket thing?

If you were not who you are, I would ask Ian to ban you for that map. But I will not.

Here's a revised version :

Are those supposed to be specific countries or alliance structures?

Alliance structures.

The red and blue wouldn't be that hard. Just make the Soviets more successful than the Americans/British in WW2, make the Americans more successful in Southeast Asia, add a Soviet invasion of the Middle East, and then make Mao's revolution take hold in only the Eastern part of China.

I'm not sure how to make the green. Maybe there's a massively ASB rebellion of all small islands against their mainland overlords. Also, why is the Caspian Sea orange? Did it dry up and then turn into its own non-aligned country?

BTW, that first map was the goofiest looking thing I've ever seen in my life, and I mean that in the best possible way.

The Caspian Sea has been filled with cheese?

Yes ; and the Caspian Republic anthem is "Sailing the Seas of Cheese" by Primus.

All the red under Soviet direct control or satellites of Soviets is fine. All the Blue democratic and in a type of confederation. Green are neutral areas designated for trade between blue and red since there is no direct trade between blue and red. Reds do not want to be contaminated by direct trade with blue.

If the green is deliberate, I'm personally finding it a little hard to justify as independent of red and blue. I mean, I can see the Caribbean plowing some kind of middle path given certain PODs, but Vancouver Island? The Mediterranean island when surrounded literally in every direction by red? Svalbard and Novaya Zemlya?

It just seems a little too haphazard to me.

I'm assuming the base color was green, and he didn't care enough to edit every single friggin' island.

Or the Penguin Army of Antarctica has begun conquering small island nations to add to its glorious empire. =)

Possibly. I got confused when people started actually describing the nature of the green islands' independence, though...

[General Mung Beans]

The green areas were tiny bits I failed to color in.
