Anyone know if the coat of arms he used is historic or if it semi-fascist.
Reminds me of the Tsarina Stone

I think our intrepid jackal is going to need to revise these plans.Then HERMOSILLO in SONORA is where I gotta be
Then i'll take a plane- (well, actually I'm afraid to fly so I think I'll take the train!)
Going to HAVANA, WEST CUBA, FRANKFORT, KENTUCKY, maybe take a trip to CAMBRIDGE, MISSISSIPPI,
Well, despite the 4AD birth date for Jesus other commenters have alerted me about, the butterflies shouldn't have hit Palestine just yet. Jesus would have lived his life largely as per OTL, but might have seen the odd Malay expat (though not too many) on his knees praising the Prophet Isa. Suffice to say, this has made Jesus even more important in Malayan Islam than in the uptime version.What about Jesus? Has he been discovered? Or have butterflies changed everything? Did he die in the plague?
Mecca is under Singaporean control--Singapore was never comfortable with a religiously oriented state threatening her pet Parthian Empire, and so fought several wars to humiliate and eventually subjugate the Egyptians. That led to an annexation of Suez, Jerusalem and Mecca's environs. I am unfortunately at a loss regarding Arabia's pre-Islamic history--though giben I've been taking a pessimistic (perhaps overly so) view of the post-ISOT world, I doubt the Malay Muslims would be much amused by paganism.Question about religion, has Mecca been conquered? How is the Kaaba? What was the reaction of the Malay Muslims to the idols surrounding the Kaaba?
Hong Kong's spread was mostly based on two things: Where China's most productive farmland is, and how to best guarantee access to the Middle East. That meant Hong Kong likely wanted a port on the Mediterranean and control of he Silk Road, amongst other things. I didn't put as much thought into Singapore, but the funding factor was still how best to reach the Middle East.How did you decide on the spread of Hong Kong and Singapore? Did you use any tools/resources to determine population growth and the expansion of Hong Kong and Singapore?
Thanks for the compliment! But to answer your question, I haven't considered making a guide just yet--I'm not that confident in my abilities. My mapmaking is pretty much based on the physical worlda and making excessively squiggly borders out of mountains.This is a beautiful map! Have you ever considered making a guide to pixel map making? You choice in colours, subdivisions and borders all work together to make the map look wonderful!
Hong Kong was simple to make--I've just played up the rampant plutocracy that plagues the city. Singapore is somewhere I'm far less acquainted with, so forgive me if I've just gone and turned it into your average totalitarian nightmare.Absolutely chilling. Dwell Q done. :3
Not all are leaving, but a sizable amount are. Think maybe 60,000 emigrants. I was a bit iffy about the Caucasian States at first, and am open to alternative names, but here's my train of thought, if it'd help:Really wish I read the whole post, but it took me six minutes to edit this post on my iPad. From what I saw when erasing suggests there is quite a bit of... tension. I can't see the Caucasian states going by that name, and that all foreigners or non-Cantonese or Chinese would leave the two area
Well, I don't think the amount Hong Kong or Singapore from rainfall or other minor sources can feed all that many--they have a total of 12 million, and that is rather...tricky to deal with. The two cities depend upon China's Dongjiang Pipe Line and Malaysia's Tebrau River respectively for practically all their water, which would not exist following the ISOT.. I don't mean water underground, though I assume that the ISOT will include a mile or so underground, but the ocean, the fish, the ships, docks, dreaded harbors...
The heraldry is definetely not historic.Anyone know if the coat of arms he used is historic or if it semi-fascist.

Let me rephrase this. What is the ocean biunadsris of these two cities?Well, I don't think the amount Hong Kong or Singapore from rainfall or other minor sources can feed all that many--they have a total of 12 million, and that is rather...tricky to deal with.

As far as Hong Kong is concerned, to my knowledge agriculture is practically nonexistent and negatable, and the fisheries industry is not much better. Though Hong Kong might have a fish farm or two in Shenzhen Bay or otherwise.
Shame I didn't ask about East Germanny and Denmark before he left. I assume the Danish and Holstein roots of some of the last Romanovs would be enough to get it tributary status. Actually interesting he didn't try having land from Georgia and Ukraine annexed. Anyways, that is my few cents. Anyone know if the coat of arms he used is historic or if it semi-fascist. I recall long ago finding a beauty Russian flag that turned out to be kinda fascist. A bit hard to tell, given often people snag ever historical symbol they can find. On a side note, anyone seen a map with population that doesn't round up to the nearest hundred thousand?

I can't see the Caucasian states going by that name, and that all foreigners or non-Cantonese or Chinese would leave the two areas, but I am getting away from what I was originally going to ask. Which is how much water is being taken along with them. I always feel it is important in an ISOT, and especially so here. I don't mean water underground, though I assume that the ISOT will include a mile or so underground, but the ocean, the fish, the ships, docks, dreaded harbors...
Ooh la la. Makes me wish some people would make traps during the Revolutionary Period and onward, when the Austrians, Spanish, French, etc were carving everything up. And when the Prussians did what they did, invading people when they were weak or vulnerable. Perhaps put a number by Heligoland, as I think it was British at this point, and is certainly too small to too color. Did Egypt, Libya, and Tunisia really have this level of subverance to Turkey as shown on the map? Trying to think over the situation then, but I suppose after the French trounced the Mamelukes and the Ottomans and British defeated the French (with Napoleon leaving the army and basically just not mentioning it when getting back to France) would leave Egypt's autonomy at a less than stellar state. Not that it was that good at the time, considering the Mamelukes were mostly from Georgia and refused to have children. Ahh, and is Erfurt too small to show on the map as French? Think there was also a hook of French land on the Rhine, but I am guessing that is what you show as partially white. I didn't know the Swedes occupied Swedish Pomerania, so I learned something new with this map. By the way, are the map colors set? I feel the British and Dano-Norwegian colors are too similar, and that the mountains in so much of their land just maps it more difficult to differentiate if you don't already know who rules what. And I almost feel like the Rhein color is too close to Poland. Having it more similar to Saxony might work, given the personal union. All in all, this is gorgeous. I almost feel you should add a day and month to the map though, if only because of how often things changed in a year.
laughs madly in singaporeanSingapore grew increasingly totalitarian, evolving into a monarchy in all but name. Countless Prime Ministers under the Lee clan have lived and died, and the Singaporean court is a positively byzantine maze. The Lee clan has diversified into numerous cadet branches, who rule over the various provinces and colonies of the Merlion Republic.
Singapore’s economy is built upon serfdom. In Hong Kong, the farming peasantry were a somewhat volunteer force, and had been at least willing to go out to the frontiers and feed their families back home. In Singapore, it was felons and criminals that had been sent to farm, and they had henceforth been considered serfs indebted to the nation. Each year, more serfs from faraway India arrive in the Singaporean heartland to labor in fields, mines and plantations. Economic prosperity creates more demand for serfs; and more serfs creates economic prosperity—a never ending cycle that perpetuates conquest and exploitation across South Asia.
The two giants have come to blows numerous times: Hong Kong wants Singapore’s rubber, and Singapore wants Hong Kong’s vast enslavable population. Trade has won out for the moment, but an increasing trade imbalance in Hong Kong’s favor has the Lee Clan worrying. That is not to mention the incessant skirmishes between the Parthian and Kushan Empires…
Yes, it does seem a bit awkward to use your own people as forced laborers. Seems like they could just buy food form the nearby areas where hundreds of millions of people live. By the way, as I see you are from Singaporean, could you give a mention on how mutually intelligible various forms of Chinese are? As in can you speak with people from Taiwan, Hon Kong, Mainland China, or the various Chinese communities that have not been expelled from Southeast Asia. If there are many left. Pol Pot and the Japanese were rather rough, from what I can tell. I think a concept of sending loads of Chinese (in the Germanic versus German sense) back in time with an ISOT, though of course the date is somewhat inconvenient. Always best to avoid sending time travelers to the time of Jesus. Always going to be some people with cameras hurrying over. Anyways, time travel scenario for when Singapore and Hong Kong are sent back to this time. You think English, Mandarin, or another version of Chinese would become the lingua Franca?laughs madly in singaporean
Are EDIT muslims still allowed pilgrimage to Mecca? How did Singapore manage to defeat the Egyptians so far away from the homeland?Mecca is under Singaporean control--Singapore was never comfortable with a religiously oriented state threatening her pet Parthian Empire, and so fought several wars to humiliate and eventually subjugate the Egyptians.
To a Kabbah filled with statues, totems, and fetishes? I feel they might not want to go.Are Malays still allowed pilgrimage to Mecca? How did Singapore manage to defeat the Egyptians so far away from the homeland?
You do know Hajj is a pillar of Islam? When the Egyptians captured mecca, they would have destroyed the idols as the prophet SAW did. Now that it's under Singaporean control, i can see them trying to benefit of Hajj.To a Kabbah filled with statues, totems, and fetishes? I feel they might not want to go.
How has this affected Jesus? Do his teaching have a more Islamic flavour to them? How did he die? Where is he living?Well, despite the 4AD birth date for Jesus other commenters have alerted me about, the butterflies shouldn't have hit Palestine just yet. Jesus would have lived his life largely as per OTL, but might have seen the odd Malay expat (though not too many) on his knees praising the Prophet Isa. Suffice to say, this has made Jesus even more important in Malayan Islam than in the uptime version.
I know it is a pillar. I must apologize as I now realize I missed the mention s about Singapore getting Mecca and had assumed it was a Haji happening early after the ISOT.You do know Hajj is a pillar of Islam?

@KanonenKartoffel liked the alt postWWI map but why so little Slovakia in Czechoslovakia?
