Well, AFAIK the occupation zones were decided at the Potsdam Conference in 1945, so technically it might just meet the criteria.
And my question: "Eastern Bloc" does include the USSR itself, right?

And my question: "Eastern Bloc" does include the USSR itself, right?
I was more thinkin about a world where say, Barbarossa/Fall Blau go worse for germany (so 41/42) pod, resulting in further soviet advance in Europe when the war end, or operation Valkyrie (44 pod) happens and there is a collapse of german war effort leading to different frontlines by the war end.
Still results in the USSR pupetting many european countries, but with a noticeable pre 45 pod
That’s actually pretty restrictive compared to the précédents of the contest as well as the fact many Cold War TL have ww2 pod, glad you clarified it.
I was thinking more of the french civil war in ww2, if the uk and usa made a deal with Vichy France to switch sides
You said fantasy is okay, does that mean we can set this in a world where everything’s similar to OTL at least in this part of the world but with DRAGONS
Since it is approaching Samhain, I'd like to propose the following:
Things that go bump in the night
Make a map of an OTL historical event, that is influenced by supernatural beings or phenomena (e.g the Russian revolution, but with Vampires)

Bohemian Rhapsody
Depict an fictional Central or Eastern European nation (à la Ruritania, Syldavia, or Zubrowka) and its history.
Where Kings Die
Depict a nation in exile plotting to get back to the homeland after it is taken over by an unfriendly nation or a revolution
I want to break free
Depict the secession of a state from the USA (excluding real ones)
(Not) Shanghai Nights
A map focusing on a state that has a similar government to the Shanghai International Settlement’s treaty ports or the League of Nations mandates (mostly the first one).

IIRC, this one was already done ("Why They Changed It I Can't Say").
Some of my own MOTF suggestions:
Guns of the North
Depict a civil war or revolution going the other way (I.E., the North seceding from the South in the ACW, monarchists rising up against the USSR during the Russian Revolution, etc.)
(This could alternatively be named "No, U" or "Uno Reverse Card," depending on how meme-y you want it to be.)
The Autumn of Nations
Depict a region whose status quo is in its twilight years and the countries there are falling apart. However, this should not show the actual breakup of the region, just its decline.
Or, just in time for Halloween:
Deal with the Devil
Depict an alliance between a decidedly "good" nation and a decidedly "bad" nation.

Ask here, delete your comment on the other thread.
The contest said any post soviet state, any state that either was part of the USSR or used to be communist and allied with the USSR, Kaiphranos explicitely said states like cuba work, so western europe would surely work.
One Planet, one nation
Depict a world(either our lovely little mud ball or a fictional planet) under the control of one nation (rebellions are optional but encouraged).
Edit: Feel free to use a much looser definition of World if you choose to employ a fantasy setting.
