Here's another suggestion of contest ^^

New Dawn, New Deal, New Day : Depict a country or territory that has gone through massive changes (political, economical, or other) in a short amount of time.

I like these two.

to posit another few contest ideas, how about:

Reunited at Last: Depict a territory that had long ago been lost by a country but has recently been reunited with it

A Phoenix from the Ashes: Depict a country that has recently regained Independence after a long period of foreign subjugation

I like this one

I've got to say it's a bit weird that we all eventually settled on at least Nazi adjacent stories for this MOTF...

I think there's like 75% of the whole alternate history production that's about WW2 or the US

Just to be sure : does the country need to be formally annexed ? Or is it possible to have the subjugated country be just crushed by another force ?

Doesn't need to be annexed, per se, but it would need to be under a significant level of control for an extended period.

More than a decade ?

Yes, a decade seems like a good benchmark.

Ok, thank you for answering, sorry for asking so many questions

Just a quick question about the current motf. Is it allowed tot make a map about a dynasty regaining power after almost going extinct or is that you much of a stretch?

Hmm, I would say only if that restoration is tied to a country breaking free from some sort of foreign control. So "Stuarts take control of Scotland after a successful '45" would work, but the Bourbons returning to France after the Revolution would not.

@Mako-Tochan I'd recommend putting your images inline in the post rather than just linking to them

I don't know how to ... I know I should, but I really just don't know how ...

this will prompt you to put in a URL, link to the direct image link on imgur (rather than the album link - in your case, I'd open the links you already posted, then right click on the image and select "open in new tab", then copy that link to see if it works)
