That’s going to require some justification.
Of course, but that's the fun in it really.

Not to say you can't have fun and unusual ideas in AH, that's the beauty of the genre, but I feel everything should have a good reason and justification. Not to say Greenland couldn't have a large TTL population, but it seems unlikely and needs a good reason.
climate and remoteness to denmark, probablyI'm pretty sure a lot of the reason that OTL's Greenland has such a small population is climate related. I don't think that can be butterflied away so easily.

I still refuse to see any possibilty for a more populous Greenland. And let alone any good reason to move to an island with basically no positive aspects for emigration. Im sorry but im firmly against this.Absolutely, hence why I recommended more Southern Greenland settlements to overcome that since the climate is reasonable for low level development.

it is, like scientifically impossible for this to happen. just drop it.Why, so we can do nothing with the country. It doesn't have to be a big nation, just a smallish nation as it is (barely bigger than it is now really).

That's pretty much only due to the US Millitary.How, anchorage is colder than most of the cities i listed and has 300,000 people living in it.

I like it alot, shame about mega Ukraine but yeah its more realistic this wayView attachment 488392
so here's the political divisions of russia:
yellow - oblasts (same as otl)
orange - krais (again same)
blue - autonomous okrug/uyezd (for these i was thinking about having them operate much more like republics than they are iotl, though they are technically considered a "second-level" division)
green - republics (similar to iotl, except they're more powerful than otl. they have their own devolved legislative body, with their own president/first minister appointed by the president/prime minister with the legislation's approval. this allows these republics to have more indigenous culture than otl, promoting the languages, practices, etc. within the republic. think of scotland within the otl uk and you get a pretty good picture of what i'm looking at)

ttl's federal districts act more like just "regions" and are for streamlining how the vast area of russia operates. courts, the census, national parks, etc. all are divided into these districts.
they are:
red - central (moscow)
light blue - northern (st. petersburg)
yellow - volga (kazan)
pink - caucuses (stavropol')
purple - ural (omsk)
green - siberia (irkutsk)
dark blue - far east (komsomolsk)
i also decided that ukraine extending to the don was a bit unrealistic and i made kuban follow otl borders. so what are your thoughts on this? i know it's basically like otl, but i kinda like the russian system of federal subjects and i all i wanted to do was to make it a bit more "democratic"
Kuban had many Ukrainian Cossacks historically, so if you want to have a mega Ukraine just give them Kuban.I like it alot, shame about mega Ukraine but yeah its more realistic this way
