Nearly done, I did most of this contemporaneously with my legal video presentation. No writing y'see, so it keeps my brain jogging along. A lot of borders were inspired by Beedok's Reverse Cold War map series, but I think it's distinct enough that there isn't any clash. A little bit iffy about the colours I used for Mitteleuropa; they're not technically German puppets so maybe I should be using unique colours instead of protectorate shades. I dunno. Couple of preliminary notes:
- "The Montana Commune was mercifully short lived."
- "Newfoundland figured out the Icelandic 'Fish = Money' equation."
- "Debating whether to mandate Anglo-German bilingualism on a federal level."
- "Peru can into Oriental Union."
- "Washington is suspicious of Indian intentions in the Caribbean, but not enough to oust the pro-Delhi governments in Suriname or Trinidad."
- "No, no, not Sweden-Norway; 'Scandinavian Union', right?"
- "Oh aye, me thinks Coventry 'as always been the spiritual 'ome of the Isles. Wouldn't you comrade."
- "That makes, what, eight republics now? Or does that commie phase not count?"
- "Neutrality shield faltered after Italian tanks rolled into Grisons."
- "Ukraine actually supports Russian entry into Mitteleuropa, in order to even out the Berlin-Ankara axis."
- "All Pied-Noirs and Imams, united in their dislike for Jews and Germans."
- "The Sultanate of Libya is a "pox-on-both-your-houses" kinda guy, until they're selling oil."
- "Would prefer Delhi to Coventry but guns are guns."
- "
Property of Kaiserreich à la Commonwealth."
- "Actually kinda chill; thinking of absorbing Yemen, but what would Iran think?"
- "East and West Kurdistan are remarkably vehement for satellites of two very cordial powers."
- "The Kingdom of Afghanistan, possibly the most boring country on Earth."
- "Communes, kings and tea room socialism."
- "More Japanese, more Manchurians, makes integration a slow process."
- "Were invaded and occupied and properly reformed; Sino-Japanese relations are much better nowadays."
- "Laos is India's metaphorical dick in the middle of the Oriential Union."
- "Trying to rope their wayward territories into the fold but Jeddah keeps meddling."
- "More British, more French, more Indian, more Canadian by half, even more Chinese, Australia is more populous, aggressive and culturally dysfunctional than ever before."
- "Yes we're independent, no we're not Australian, yes that is an aircraft carrier in the Hauraki Gulf, yes it is ours. No you can't have it, fuck off Russia."
