Great scenario, like the use of the micro-map, first time I've seen it on this board

There's a thread on it somewhere in the Maps and Graphics board, maybe it's buried under all the color schemes and BAMs right now, because I can't find it. But it's a great tool, with the current version (with the X2-colored modern world) on I think the last page in the thread as of now.
"The history of the state of Erie is an interesting one. It started as a territorial dispute between Ohio and Michigan in the mid-1830s. The two states briefly went to war over it before the US government stepped in and declared it a separate territory from either state. It was basically in limbo until 1845 when it was added to the union to act as a balance against the slave state of Florida." - "Erie|Strange Stories of the States", DawnChemist, NetFilm
"The flag of Erie is split into three parts: The top part is a blue which represents the state of Michigan, the middle is a thin strip of red representing the state of Erie, and the dark blue on the bottom represents the state of Ohio. There is a single star on the right side of the flag which represents the city of Toledo." - "Erie|Strange Flags of Strange States", DawnChemist, NetFilm
The worst part is, wouldn't Erie have more population than Wyoming in the present?
This the type you after?

A fun little timeline I cooked up while I'm dealing with Writers block on Killed In Her Cradle. This timeline asks the question, what if the Haitian Revolution Failed? [I made this Timeline in an hour, so it's pretty loose with the butterflies]
Napoleon never loses faith in North America. He never sells La Louisiane to America and loses the War much sooner. They are forced to cede much of their North American Territories to the United Kingdom. These include French Guianna, Saint Domingue, Guadeloupe, Martinique, La Louisiane and The French West Indies.
American Manifest Destiny never gets a chance to start. The War of 1812 ends worse for America, with the Americans losing much of the Illinois, Michigan and Mississippi Territories.
The break-up of Mexico was a large source of expansionism for the British, who were loving for any excuse to increase their holding in North America. Tejas was settled mostly by British instead of Americans in this TL and they were happy to join the British empire, as was their brothers in the Yucatan during the Chaste Wars.
Though Britain wanted to keep a balance of powers in North America and accepted Mexico's border claim with Texas.
Following the British abolition of slavery in 1833, the Colonies of the Southern La Louisianne [British Orleans, West Florida, East Florida and Arkansas] revolt in an effort to establish a republic. Though the British are able to set up an effective blockade and the south loses the war.
The United Kingdom sets up a total of Four Dominion in North America from 1867-1958; The Dominion of Canada, The Dominion of La Louisiane, The Dominion of Newfoundland and the Commonwealth of the West Indies. Similar to how in OTL, Newfoundland joined Canada, this timeline features the Commonwealth of the West Indies joining La Louisiane.
A few other details include the splitting of the Columbia District between a Larger Canada and La Louisiane, A much stronger Mexico and the Construction of the Panama Canal [and following annexation of Panama] by La Louisiane. This Map features the Confederation in the Year 1971 with a population of 107.192 million before Provinces such as Haiti, British Guyana and Belize gained Independence in the 70's and 80's.
Very good, thanks.
Alas, it has been once again delayed because of paid commissions being higher priority.
Here's a little map that took little effort from my ASB timeline, note that the Mississippi is bigger, and there are three autonomous regions

The following is a cover of the Paradox Forum Kasierreich AAR, The Crown Atomic by Cookfl. As it is copying the borders of a game engine the result is... Well ugly in many cases but it is exceptionally well written and worth a read.
THE CROWN ATOMIC 1956:
THE CROWN ATOMIC 1956:
The Year in 1956. It has been thirteen years since the end of the Second Weltkreig but the world is anything but peaceful. Syndicalism once again finds its battle-cries on the lips of the downtrodden across the globe. Technology continues to advance in leaps and bounds, offering new opportunities both exciting and terrifying.
In North America, the Entente reigns supreme as the King-Emperor's domain stretches from the shores of Anchorage to the glaciers of Greenland. Allied to this Imperial Behemoth is the Pacific Sates of America, The New England Republic and recently anointed Empire of Mexico. The people of the Empire are placated by a steady stream of propaganda and prosperity, blind to the corruption of her once cherished Democratic ideals. Meanwhile, Huey Long's Union State struggles with rising ethnic tensions, economic depression and an ongoing brain drain. Many flee the AUS's regime of Christian-Authoritarianism, braving the ruined cities and prowling government militias for the promise of a new life in the Entente. Canadian bombers meanwhile wage an endless war with Syndicalist guerrillas in the Yucatan, leveling jungles and cities in equal measure as they crusade to crush the ideology forever.
To the South, the Amerisolean Politburo continues its war on memory and culture. Their regime of terror has turned inwards as the Anarcho-Totalist faction seize control of the nation, purging political opponents and "liabilities" to the state with ruthless zeal. Among the mass graves lies the body of the former dictator, Oswald Mosley, an inauspicious end for such a controversial figure. The Entente backed nations of Venezuela and the Andes Federation look on with wary concern, unsure as to whether they could hold back the red tide should it decide to fulfill it's doctrine of "Syndicalism in one Continent". While they are backed by Imperial firepower and rhetoric, Ottawa is very far away...
In Europe, Germany lurches from crisis to crisis as the House of Hohenzollern throws the legitimacy of the monarchy into question. Germany is saddled with the burden of global hegemon, an economic commitment which the Empire struggles with. In the Balkans, the Revanchist Pact threatens Pax Germanica, waging war a ruthless war of aggression upon her neighbors. Reconstruction continues in Britain, rationing finally ending as the Dominion adjusts to her new place within Edward's Imperial project. France remains divided between North and South, Germany begrudgingly rebuilding her former enemy in the model of Mitteleuropa. Imperial France meanwhile finds her strength, seeking to regain the glory of the 19th Century. Her old ally Russia struggles with her nascent democracy, the newly elected socialists seeking to put a positive face on an ideology poisoned by recent history.
The borders of the Middle East have been redrawn again. Egypt's bid for power has been ruthlessly crushed by the Kasierreich, the insubordination of the Egyptian King has been rewarded with occupation. The Nubian South now belongs to Napoleon. In the Levant, Canada and France carve out their own spheres of influence while the houses of Saud and Hashemite draw literal lines in the sand. The Kingdom of Turkey is the final remnant of the sclerotic Ottoman Empire, it's Western territories lost to the emboldened syndicalists of the Transcaucasian Republic. Persia meanwhile intends to bring back the glory days, expanding her reach further and further in old Assyria.
Africa remains a playground for European colonialism. The Viceroyalty of Mittelafrika continues to drift further and further way from Berlin. In Dar-es-Salaam, Hernan Goering ignores the whims of the Reichstag while disease continues to spread across the continent. The restless African populace have risen up in revolt and the situation continues to escalate with every passing day. South Africa also struggles with demographic tensions, as the exiled British assert themselves against the institutions of Apartheid, much to the alarm of the Afrikarner populations.
Finally in the Asia-Pacific, Japan strengthens its hold across the continent. All of South East Asia is now under the control of the Chrysanthemum Throne and Japanese power appears undisputed. China however continues to assert herself. Despite the fact that the first confrontation with Japan in the Philippines ended in failure, the world's largest democracy refuses to bow to Japanese domination. Australasia continues to watch Japan with paranoid suspicion, the spirit of ANZAC hovering over the nation like a specter.
As Germany, Japan and Canada enter the Atomic Age, the fate of the world remains uncertain.

P.O.D: Inndertermimate
Current Year: 2074
Despite the fact it's the late 21st century, 300 years after Britain's East American colonies tried to break away, and almost 300 years when Frances revolutionary government was quashed by the monarchs of Europe. Still British, Spanish, Dutch, and French privateers roam the sea's looking for enemy vessels to pray on. In Europe large blocks of troops wielding muskets fire at each other in lines. China still holds monopoly over spices, tea's and silk in the world. And red men still fight white men in the middle of North America, meanwhile after 500 years since colonization the Spanish are still looking for El Dorado, now some nut jobs are thinking it's in Africa. In this world, James Watt and other influential industrialists died or became something else, while the Enlightenment revolts and protests failed. The world was stuck in the 18th Century.
The British are the a sorta questioned master of the seas (the Dutch, Spanish, and Russians have their own say on the matter) with much of Europe in awe at the conquest and pupating of India. The Honorable East India Company currently maintains the largest plot of corporate territory in the world, all in the name of "King and Country". British naval supremacy reigns around its, and its ally's colonies. Based out of Dutch South Africa, British raiders captured the infamous Spanish colony of La Plata, who in the name of Englishmen, named the colony to Drakesland (later Drakia) in honor of Sir Francis Drake’s trip round South America. British North America is under a separate royally assigned government in Williamsburg, Virginia. British North America stretches from Sea to Shining Sea under the Eagle of America. From California to Quebec British North America a series of colonies and frontier settlements spans 4,000 miles of all terrains. Just recently in 2016 Britain won the rights of New Mexico (a horrible land grab) and settlers are still paying the price for trying to do what the Spanish couldn't do, conquer the Navajo, and the Apache's. The Dutch have fulfilled some of their Post-Brazil colonial aims in South America. Their alliance with the British has really payed off. Now the Dutch are germanizing the Spanish speakers of Venezuela and look to take the rest of Gran Colombia. Portugal and its Brazilian leaders have their eyes set on a Pacific coast, namely Peru and its silver mines.
In Europe, the never ending progression of succession wars, and the occasional war of expansion has continued on. The United Kingdom has had some additions in Europe. Notably absorbing Hanover. Russia has since 1927, fully conquered the main peninsular section of Scandinavia. The Czars view this as one of the greatest conquests in Russian history alongside the taking of Central Asia, and the Great Nivkh War over parts of Far East Siberia with China. European wars have become more deadly and confusing, with the hard making of the Ferguson Rifle, most country's have special sharpshooters to take out officers and occasionally generals. Europe still lacks infrastructure outside major cities. Most roads are poor and dirt, and everyone has to feed themselves as well as the nation. Austria is still a force, but barely. Austria has a failed overseas venture in North Africa that's dragging more and more soldiers to the dark continent and later sold it to France.
Europe, had the Great idea of doing what they did to the America's, to Africa. The Dutch were the first to jump on this. Large amounts of Dutch and German immigrants left for the Cape Colony and South Africa. The settlers there compare themselves to their English brothers in America, white men in a foreign land destined to colonize it. So far the Dutch have been successful since their scheme began back in 1948. The Dutch have carved out a large chunk of Southern Africa from Southern Angola to Mozambique. The Spanish think El Dorado is maybe in the Congo, that's the only reason why the Spanish are there. They are consistently tearing apart villages and killing people who refuse to give them a clue. The English meanwhile are trying the same strategy of native cooperation followed by betrayal in East and West Africa. Britain's interest in Nigeria and the Gold Coast is to "Build a transcontinental roadway between Freetown and Mombassa". The French, driven out from the Americas, are currently carving out a large Empire in Egypt, and have the crazy idea of building a canal to connect the Mediterranean and the Red Sea to give the Ethiopian Colonies a sea route not up the Nile. The Portuguese have had the most success colonizing Africa and bleaching it. Plenty of Brazilians are mushing a Brazilian-Portuguese culture in many of the cities and Brazilian plantation owners are having large amounts of profit from cash crops grown.
Britain still controls India, and has sine the 1860s. Minus the Middle East and China, Asia has been carved up by Europeans. The Portuguese are currently in the bleaching process of Indochina, plenty of Brazilians are enslaving the locals and bringing in Africans. The entirety of Indochina is ready to implode, and that's why many whites have formed private militias. The Dutch are using the locals and imported Zulu's as a labor force in the East Indies. The Dutch are happy sitting on these islands, they have no plans to populate them besides some of the far west ones (Singapore has a large white minority, but its so humid nobody wants to move there). When Australia was discovered, the British were eager for new land, and quickly claimed the entire continent, that brought them into conflict with the Dutch and the French. Britain proved their determination by starting the 1st Australian War in 1808, attacking French settlements in Northern Australia, and blockading Dutch settlements in "New Holland". By 1810 Australia was recognized as a British Colony. Even by 2074 not all of Australia has been colonized and is made up of multiple British colonies all bickering with each other why their the best on the continent. The French took Siam for no reason other than to stake a claim in Asia when they lost any hope of regaining India. Spain’s hope on the Philippines is starting to get restless as more Mexicans and Mestizo’s move into the Colony and the natives grow restless from new people moving in, and Spain’s brutal rule to keep its colonies. Japan meanwhile remains a backwater isolationist Dutch trading partner, Amsterdam is thinking on finally moving in forcefully.

So I made a simple, proper base for the style of solar system map that I think I've uniquely developed. TerranTechnocrat seems to credit me as such and he's used the style to make some killer maps. I guess I should name it something like the Worlda; Solar-A? Solar-G? SolMap? Basic Solar Map (BSM)? I dunno. In any event this should allow people to easily make science fiction maps detailing the state of the Solar System.
I have yet to label it but below they heavenly bodies descend as follows (that was an oddly poetic sentence, aha):
Sun
Mercury
Venus
Earth
Mars
Asteroid Belt
Jupiter
Saturn
Uranus
Neptune
Kuiper Belt (Including Pluto)
Sedna
