Lovely, @Crazy Boris !

I do have suggestions again, for the last sections:

Abyssinia:

- Far-left Ethiopia
- Far-left militarists/Derg

Somalia:

- Split off Al-Shabaab and double that up with "Islamist Somalia"
- A specific colour for Persian/Shi'a Somalia
- Far-left Somalia (Siad Barré!)

Southern Africa:

- Portugal-in-exile/White Supremacist Portuguese state
- Split off Rhodesia entries from Zimbabwe ones
- two or three colours for a far-left Southern African state (arguably, all of the states here have been far-left in OTL)
- White Supremacist/Apartheid Rhodesia
- Nazi Rhodesia
- Germany-in-exile in Namibia

South Africa:

- German South Africa
- Apartheid South Africa
- Nazi South Africa/Draka
- Azania
- far-left South Africa (EFF)
- Black Supremacist colours (you can add them to most African sections one apiece, or to South Africa in five or six versions)
- I would add colours for all major peoples of South Africa, i.e. at least the 11 peoples who have official languages (most seem to have a colour already)
- Spanish South Africa
- Portuguese South Africa
- maybe French South Africa

Atlantic Islands:

- Muslim Canary Islands
- Tristan de Cunha
- Ascension
- Fernando de Noronha/Lithuanian or Baltic colony

Australia:

- German Australia
- Polish Australia
- Spanish Australia
- Portuguese Australia
- Chinese Australia
- Japanese Australia
- Indian Australia
- Dravidian Australia

Melanesia:

- German Papua New Guinea
- New Britain/British Papua
- New Ireland/Irish Papua
- maybe a few colours for Papuan tribes
- cannibals?

Micronesia:

- Bikini Atoll/atomic testing ground?
- German Micronesia
- Japanese Micronesia

Polynesia:

- German Hawai'i
- Monarchist Hawai'i
- Far-left Hawai'i
- Polynesian Peru
- Polynesian Chile
- Mururoa Atoll

Antarctica:

- Tsala'l
- Chinese Antarctica
- Japanese Antarctica
- Soviet Antarctica
- Independent Antarctic nation (maybe that is what you mean with "Antarctic state")
- Far-left Antarctica
- Nazi Antarctica/Neuschwabenland

Colours for the families could be good, as they could double for cultural groups, so then we can expand detail through that also.

Hope you get a chance to look through the spoiler I put in pm ;), should add some specific detail to North and Western Africa.

Good luck with the addendum

Some progress! A few more additions in Africa and Oceania (will probably add more), and the first of the next group of sections!
(I feel like I got most of the important international groups, but its still a little lacking. Let me know if you have ideas for more)

Can I hear your current list of options for this? I may have plenty more to add.
Click to expand...

Sure thing. I have the Sun, all 8 planets, the 5 IAU-recognized dwarf plantes (Pluto, Ceres, Eris, Makemake, and Haumea),
These moons:
Earth: The Moon
Mars: Phobos and Deimos
Jupiter: Ganymede, Callisto, Io, and Europa
Saturn: Titan, Rhea, Iapetus, Dione, Tethys, Enceladus, Mimas, Phoebe, Janus, Epimetheus, Prometheus, and Helene
Uranus: Oberon, Umbriel, Ariel, Miranda
Neptune: Triton and Proteus
Pluto: Charon
Plus Alpha Centauri, Sirius, and Betelgeuse for other stars and the Milky Way and Andromeda for Galaxies

(note: Aliens will be in the sci-fi/fantasy section instead of this one)

So, I wouldn't choose Betelgeuse. Here's some stars I would add:

Proxima Centauri
Barnard's Star
Epsilon Eridani
Tau Ceti
Other interstellar state within 30ly
Other interstellar state beyond 30ly

Also, if you're going to add Pluto, why not be fair and add the other Dwarf Planets?

Ceres
Haumea
Makemake
Eris

"Planet 9"

And also, for colonial nations:

American offworld colony
SpaceX offworld colony / Other corporate offworld colony
Chinese offworld colony
Indian offworld colony
Russian offworld colony / Other Slavic offworld colony
Japanese offworld colony
Brazilian offworld colony
Unified European offworld colony
British/Nordic offworld colony
German offworld colony
Korean offworld colony
Islamic offworld colony
Australian offworld colony
French/Spanish/Portugese offworld colony
African offworld colony

Also, a few more suggestions:

United Earth
OPA / Other Belter state
Kuiper Belt state
Oort cloud state
Elysium / Other orbital habitat
Generation ship


Also, Far-Right/Far-Left/Technocratic/Republican/Fascist versions of the above might be useful but would make it waaaaaay too long so probably don't do it
 

Pragmatic Progressive

For the "International Organisations" section, I would definitely add a Mitteleuropa colour (doubling for the Zollverein). And a colour for the SADC (in Southern Africa).
And a colur for a Greater East Asian Co-Prosperity Sphere (GEACPS)/a Japan-dominated organisation.
Maybe also a colour for TTIP and TPP?

I think Far-Left and Far-Right wouldn't do any harm, even in space. Especially for the most popular space settings (the Moon, Mars, Venus, and the Jovian moons). I don't think we need "far-right Haumea state" as much as we do a far-right or fascist or technocratic Mars.

Take a moment to analyze the scenario that would apply to.
- Someone uses this scheme instead of numerous others or even their own
- Multiple states on planet Mars
- These states are not meaningfully descended from an Earth state to use their color
- They aren't aliens

I'll wait on the space front, or otherwise allow @Drex to chip in (you have a good space mate ;), hence why i tagged you) to offer some further ideas.

concerning international organisations, I'd recommend a colour for the Organization of Ibero-American States, or otherwise post-colonial Iberian organisation. Tried to find a historical example for Italy, but it doesn't have one, so could make something up. As a final thing, is German Confederation to also serve as a post colonial german organisation?

Otherwise think it is ok :) (besides that which has been suggested)

Here, you should include several colours for good, positive aliens. One for a "communist" alien society, and other ones - not based on political alignment alone, but on the fact that they are positive and interact positively with humanity. For an example, search Bin-Ah'hana on AH.com

AND THE BASE OF THICC IS DONE!

Well, not really, I will be going back and adding a few things, but for the most part, all seven continents are ready!

From here, I'll start work drawing up entry lists for the supplementary categories, these will be:
-International Organizations and Alliances
-Rebel, Terrorist, and Separatist Groups (ones already included in the scheme will just be duplicated there)
-Space stuff
-Sci-Fi/Fantasy
-Ideologies
-Economic systems
-Religions
-Biomes
and maybe more if I can think of any (Would there be interest in colors for language families and subfamilies?)
