A map taking Mowque's "Unbroken Chains" http://www.alternatehistory.com/disc...hains+unbroken to 1940, with an emphasis on government types.

It takes a lot from Highlander's excellent 1924 version, but i have taken the
liberty to redo Central Asia,
since the borders shown were created under the OTL Communists..

It's not the map as much as it is the extremely popular Roman Britain cliche, though the map is great. Honestly I tried the same tactic last MotF with the independent California cliche, and then Horatius came along... Needless to say the moment I saw his map I knew I was screwed

I have a pretty good cliche of my own.

Do you mean Boudicca cliche, as It's pretty much an inversion of Roman Britain?

Not without your help .
Anyway, you have my vote, although did we agree we would never vote for each other?

Please, my Russian Alaska/Cascadia cliche was pretty cliche too. And just wait and see what I've got for this contest...

It would be an inversion if the Welsh had ruled all of North America....

Something from "The Bloody Man"; a map of New England, c.1645...

I post this, knowing full well that Bruce, Ed and Alex will get all the comments

Ah well, here goes. The British Isles in my current scenario.



Inefectual Labour leadership, the trouncing of the Lib-Dems and the Conservative majority in the snap election in 2014 meant that Cameron was able to secure his premiership unbrideled. He then set off for the most radical shake-up of the British political system since the 1980's, effectively securing Conervative dominance of the Commons.

Things haven't gone well for anyone on the islands since then. Since the collapse of the European Union, Britain has started to really play with the Irish economy, something even the Unionists of Northern Ireland are extremely annoyed about as it's sparked a wave of militancy that lead to a resurgence of paramilitaries of both the nationalist and marxist stripe (green). They've gone so far as to create the "Free City of Cork" for Gods sake! Some in Whitehall see the situation as so they have even suggested intervention to try and restore order. Things are so bad in Ireland that civil servants are actually contemplating international suicide of that magnitude.
And this of course means that the Brits are back in good old Ulster, and this time there will be no "mistakes".....

And with the IRA and Asscociates back in action, why not a little militancy from the family? The Welsh (purple) and Scots (blue) are rather pissed off at Westminster imposing so many restrictions on their respective self-government seats, so pissed off that some people have even started listening to the nutters who think poisining Englands water supply is a good idea!

And finally, industrial action (red) in Northern England! Workers of the World Unite! And with the EDL there to add a little ethnic tension to the mix, things are looking nice and rosey.
