I've been working on this for far too long.
Following a generic Central Powers victory in World War 1, this scenario occurs. I'm not really in the mood right now to type up a full overview of the timeline, so if you're curious or confused about anything on this map just ask.
This is a nicely done map, but I'm not too sure what to think about the scenario itself. Some critiques:
1.)I'm not quite convinced *Austria-Hungary, regardless of the name, can plausibly survive to the present day in anything even partly resembling it's old form, with a POD in 1916. That country was already having a lot of problems as it was.
2.)Same for the Ottoman Empire, too, and perhaps even more so.
3.)Can't see Korea staying as part of core Japanese territory to 2018, either; maybe as a puppet state? Same applies to Taiwan/Formosa as well.
4.)I'm not even sure Germany could necessarily plausibly stay Imperial with a POD in 1916,
regardless of a Central Powers victory, without something a bit on the drastic side. Maybe some widespread reforms of some kind happened later on?
5.)Also, what in the heck happened to the U.S.? And Australia + N.Z., for that matter?
6.)How did "Yugorussia" come about, exactly?
7.)And what happened to the Baltic States? Not necessarily implausible or anything, just curious as to how this happened.
But, on the other hand......
1.)Nice to see South African apartheid ending earlier, for sure.
2.)Too bad about Rhodesia seemingly being a North Korea-like state, but it's definitely believable, though. (Also reminds me of a similar idea I had for a TL in the works)
3.)Not too often we see maps with a thriving *Afghanistan, so that's a nice touch.
4.)Also nice to see that most of Africa is independent-it does get kinda boring seeing so many maps with surviving colonialism, you know?
5.)United Ireland!
So, yeah, while there are some questionable aspects.....to be quite fair, this may not necessarily be far off from OTL, anyway. And you did a good job of making this interesting, regardless.
