Since, as I said, I only really have basic concepts written down and stuff, just ask about whatever part you may be curious of.

When is this set?

Someone produce a map of what the UK may look like in 10 years time?

[Gorm the Old]

A climate/vegetation map of Africa after a 2 degrees (Celsius) increase in global average temperature over 200 years. The increased temperature has returned the monsoon to the Sahara, and turned the desert much greener in only half a century. This has also caused the Greenland ice to melt, along with the West Antarctic Ice Sheet, producing a sea level rise of 13 meters over 500 years.

It might be a slightly optimistic map, but I don't think anyone would object to Africa winning out for once.

Based on the climate in Africa 5000 to 9000 years ago. If anyone happens to know some stuff about climate and object to anything, please say so. I'm doing the entire world, so it's not really a huge bother to fix any mistakes.

Graphical suggestions are welcome as well.

I realized I haven't made any America-wank maps (most of my America maps actually screw the country) so here's one.

[Crayhistory]

A work in progress of an idea of mine. Don't know what year exactly the map is in as of right now.

Idea is that the French are more aggressive in their colonization and they are the ones that take New Amsterdam. They also promote a Catholic Belgium.

From there I kind of started having fun with it, doing things I like. Which means making an Austria that controls Germany(in the South) but not Hungary.

The Dutch do better in South America though.

Pretty much its the height of Colonialism and a big war is coming.

Britain, the Dutch, Scandinavia, Austria on one side and France, Russia, Brandenburg-Hannover, Belgium, and Spain on the other.

Im thinking that perhaps its around the end of the 18th Century.

This is my Des Kaisers Tor der Goetter: An Imperial German Stargate map of 1891 in the first version of the TL. The second version will have visible changes.

Darker Green- Empire of all Russia's, including Slavic Kingdoms
Light Grey- Empire of Germania
Lighter Green- Dar-El-Islam Ottoman Caliphate
Light Blue- United States of America
Red- British Empire
Dark Blue-French Republic
Dark Brown-Kingdom of Italy
Light Brown-Empire of Japan
Khaki-Empire of China
Gold- Iberian Federation

Oh I like the idea.

Anyone got a cool map or could make one that has like a native resistance during the colonialization of North America?

Wait, An Ottoman Empire from Urumqi to Fez, Unified Spanish America, and a Unified Scandinavia + Germany + Austria does not county as visible?

Or am I taking this wrong?

Is that the Kazakh Border of Doom?

I loved this as soon as I saw it. Though, I'm eager to know what Scandinavia plans to gain in this war where none of its frozen-waste colonies border its enemies. Unless it's mainly interested in lands back in Europe. Which would cause me to question why Scandinavia claims sovereignty over all those Inuit.

In the second map, I will have made some different territorial adjustment. If you read the original thread you will know why its like that. I had Russia and the Ottomans sort out their problems via a territory exchange. Central Asia and Persia for Ottoman Europe and later Constantinople. Germany used its Goa'uld/Tok'Ra(they are actually different from both groups though) "invade all the other Germanic countries, and basically jump into the Empire of Germania in a federalistic structure, and with overwhelming Pan0Germanic sentiment being fostered by German-Russian-Ottoman intel networks. I know Hungary and Slovakia are not Germanic, and that is one of the Problems I will fix. Belgium's franco population are included as they are a Germanic tribe.

Explain? In regards to the Steppe Turkish tribes being part of the Ottoman Caliphate, along with Uyghurstan then yes.

He's referring to the border which was created solely by the Soviets with no historical and no cultural reason. Most of northern Kazakhstan is actually Russian, and the border simply doesn't make sense.

I'm guessing they'll be concentrating on the Russian Finns, and possibly the Germans.

Great map. Slightly suprised that Scandinavia has claimed the inuit and northern canada but not Svalbard, is there a reason ?

Svalbard was not under Official Norwiegen Control till 1920.

That reminds me of a Phineas and Ferb episode I remember watching a while ago. It was Phineas and Ferb Busters if I'm not mistaken. It went something like

Baljeet: The spinning tops-

Buford: LAME!

Baljeet: Of doom!

Buford: All right let's give it a try.

Baljeet: Okay, so you hold your top like this and spin it. The one who's top spins the longest wins!

Buford: What next?

Baljeet: You do it again! HAHAHA!!

So something like

Stalin's dude: Let's make a Kazakh border-

Stalin: LAME!

Stalin's dude: Of doom!

Stalin: Okay let's give it a try.

LATER

Stalin: It's not working, too many Russians there now. What to do?

Stalin's dude: You draw it again! HAHAHA!!

In the TL, it was done to give the Turks their ancient homeland back with population exchange, in return for Ottoman Europe(1807) and Constantinople

The Ottomans trade their capital, largest city and arguably one of the most important and historic cities in the world... for Kazakhstan??

That's like the British Empire and the United States deciding to swap London for Minnesota...
