And the Turkish Revolution is considered in this ATL as part of the Arab Spring, which as I mentioned in my little bit of background I was able to give, has developed into an Arab Revolutionary ideology; with the Free Turks forming a state along those lines after defeating the Kemalists in a civil war.

If you do not mind me asking...

What are you talking about!? The Turkish Revolution was in the early 1920s, the Arab Spring is a term used for the Political revolutions in the Modern Near East.

I'm confused as to what you mean by "conservative" here...

Economically? Probably not in NE.

Socially? In NE? Not a snowball's chance in hell.

Conservative as in limited government? That would contradict your statement that the Federal Government has MORE powers.

In a related story if Maine legalizes Gay-Marriage then the FRNA will have legalized Gay-Marriage throughout its borders.

Working on my first battlefield map, Battle of Crane (1862), and I was wondering what might be missing or need adjustment:

What I meant was:

Lots of the other states in the former U.S. are adopting more adventurous systems of government. The FRNE, however, is basically just copying the U.S. federal constitution with a few extra things (including same-sex marriage being constitutionally recognized, and the death penalty being constitutionally banned, and other things). And they still use FPTP.

T'was a reference to how the Democratic Party basically has a monopoly on power.

I see, that makes sense. So NE is using the Red-Democrat, Blue-Republican version?

It's an alternate present/future map. I think he's talking about a different Turkish Revolution.

You need to make sure all borders are done right.

Oops i messed the quote thingy up...


Turkey & Azerbaïjan are not arab peoples. How would they join the Free Arab Republics?
Republic of Azawad (North Mali) are Touaregs (berber, not arab)
What about Mauretania? They should be a Free Arab Republic.

Only for the last few years in America specifically. "Reds under the Bed" didn't refer to Rockefeller and Nixon hiding in your room, after all.

Generally these also have names of commanders and maybe the names of specific units etc. Also you may want to add arrows to your lines of advance.

I like, it's clean and simple.
I would also like to see the rest of the old US, perhaps individually like this () or a US map redrawn for this () ?
