Long time lurker, first time poster. Here we go: (Still kind of a WIP though.) It's a future history timeline, and the map is of 2050.

Some of the highlights, in cartographic order:
- The United States of Europe, in blue. Formed in 2037 when most of the EU nations united. Is one of many superpowers. Has (what's left of) the UK, Zapadoslavia, and the -stans under its belt.
- Zapadoslavia, that beige country in eastern Europe. Formed form the parts of the EU that didn't want to become part of the USE.
- Russia got screwed after the Second Crimean War of 2021, losing Rostov to Ukraine and some of the Caucasus republics to the new nation of Ichkeria.
- Yes, Canada has a chunk of Siberia.
- United democratic China. United democratic Korea.
- India got horrendously messed up after the Indian Civil War of 2041, which also toppled dominoes eastwards into Bangladesh and Burma.
- The Middle East is a lot better off. In 2025, diplomats from every country (save Yemen and Egypt) met in Baghdad, sorted out all the borders, and formed an alliance called the Baghdad Pact. Fun fact: Most of the Empty Quarter is covered in solar panels.
- Not much happened in Africa or South America. Yet.
- Screwed USA which lost California, Texas, and the Pacific Northwest.
- Wanked superpower Canada which lost half of Quebec but gained Greenland, the Faroes, a bit of Siberia, and the Pacific Northwest.
- Some small colonies on the Moon and in Antarctica (in that order).
