COVID Collapse
A little scenario I whipped up in the past week of a "what if the US collapsed because of some COVID-19 related crises?".
Small things I forgot in the notes:
- Flanders has unified with Belgium
- The Great Lakes is basically Jeff Bezos' personal fiefdom
As always if you have any questions feel free to ask!
(P.S. Very sorry if this counts as current politics, there didn't appear to be a current politics map thread)

This map is from my last No Rome but its focus on Europe. Set in the Year 540 CE
This will be used for my Timeline: Nec Romani
This timeline is set in an alternate world in which the Roman republic would collapse after facing a large sacking from the Gauls in 340 BC. With no Rome, Carthage would rise becoming the dominant power of the Mediterranean.
1. The Carthage Empire would thrive across the Mediterranean sea with no Rome to stop them. However, as of 540 CE, their empire is in shambles as corruption reigns across the state with revolting celts and sacks from the Germanics. Who knows how long they can last for.
2. The Gauls would unite into one large empire known as the Gualia Empire. They would expand across modern-day France until they reach the Kingdom of Narbonenis, The Descendents of Gauls under the Carthaginian rule. They are currently waging war against the people of Narbonenis.
3. The Kingdom of Thrace, having expanded towards Asia Minor, Is now a Regional power. The Thracians are regarded as one of the most powerful Greek states.
4. The Hunnic Empire's everlasting expansion into Germanian continues. The Huns are the most powerful people of Europe, expanding across the Northern European plains.
5. The Kingdom of Etruscans. With no Romans to enslave them, the Etruscans would expand across northern Italy. The Etruscans would face multiple wars with Carthage over power in Italy.
6. The Italians state is made up of multiple ethics as Latinization never happens.
7. the Kingdom of Macedonia. A now dying kingdom, facing sacking from the Bulgars and Huns. The Macedonians are a once-proud people, is now just a small state facing annexation from the Thracians.
8. The Kingdom of Narbonenis. The descendants of the Carthaginians and Gauls from Carthaginians rule. Gaining independence from Carthage, They are currently waging war against
9. The Kingdom of Jerlusiam. The jews still remain Jerlusiam. Christianity still exists as Jesus was still crucified, however, it was because the Jews living there didn't like him due to his popularity. Christianity itself is a small religion. A few states still practice it such as Armenian and Thrace. The jews themself are also mainly in Isreal since the Romans never expelled them.
10. The New Kingdom of Egypt. The Egyptians are still independent states. While they were once under the rule of Carthage for a few decades. They are now a rich and influential state.
11. The greeks would establish large empires on Asia minor, warring each other while getting rich.
12. The Germanic states. having advanced into kingdoms, The germanics are the most populist people in Europe. Both celts and germans would fight one against each other, as well as the Huns
13. The celts in Britannia and Hibernia would survive and thrive. However, the Anglo-Saxons still invaded Britannia much later.
14. Sassanid Empire. They remain mostly the same from the OTL.
15. The Danes are increasingly expanding across Scandinavia.
16. The Hispanic states. the richest are the people of Suebi and Carthage.
17. The Bulgars were forced to expand into Bulgaria due to the Hunnic expansion into their region. They have been launching raids on the greeks.
18. The Kingdom of Armenia. The Armenians had expanded across Asia minor and begin warring with the greeks for control of Asia minor.
19. The Celtics in Illyria have people into states and kingdoms. These ones are relatively more peaceful as many of them are united against the Huns
20. The two Greek states, Athens and Sparta, once warring states had joined together to fight against the Carthage expansion

I'd kind of assumed that ITTL the ancient Greek word "cybernete" escaped its connection with computers and kept its connotation of control.
This is an official world map of Terra/Earth for upcoming TL detailed about Escadia and it sourceful information about the country plus additional or extra top twenty nations with world leader names in an alternate-G20 as well as flags of different countries from A to Z. Also, the top influential/powerful people/groups from Terra/Earth that had influenced or defined the entire society according to global statistical records and TIME detailed about people of the year. Please feel free to ask questions.
@Unkown00 Nice! I wonder how would Carthage evolve if it survive and even stay great power... maybe they explore Africa and found some colonies there, in Senegal, Guinean shores or along the Niger river (which wouldn´t be probably Niger here 
)... or maybe they even explore some alien land across the great western sea?
And what about Gauls - how centralised are they? How are their chances against Germans?
However there are some thinks, firstly the map: it is somehow distorted, like "stretched" to much, from left to right...
Also, I am not sure about Huns - I know that events in Mediterrean may not affect them til they appear in Pontic steppes however with PoD set centuries before their rise, there would be so many butterflies (on the other hand, there is probability that if not them, then some other tribe or nation would fill the niche...). The same for Sasanids and Saxons... and especially Suebi, germanic tribe coming into Hispania in 5th century...

@xmoose Thank you for your advice. I will be sure to use what you say and edit it. For your questions on Gaul, Their kingdom is kinda similar towards the US as there are different duchys with their own dukes that govern an area. Carthage I'm planning that it would fall to the Caliphate sometime when it invaded North Africa. Again thank you for your critique on my map, I appreciate it.
Messi was born in the US in this timeline? Also Is that a Freddie Mercury who didn't die of AIDS?

Yeah, IDK why I add it. I wanted Christianity to still exist. I'm gonna change the map
This map is set in an alternate world in which the US and China and Brazil joined the Central powers in WW1. The central powers would win the war thanks to the American large army and industry. After the war, France would become an authoritarian fascist-like state. The communist lost the civil war in Russia, and so remain a republic. The Indians meanwhile revolted against British rule and establish a republic. Britain would soon become a fascist-like state known as the Union of Great Britain. The royal family escape to Australia (Canada annexed to the US in 1919) The world is now in a inter-war era with most of the former entente planning another war on the central powers
My first-ever completed map, cross-posted in the Alternate Electoral Maps thread! This is the 2017 election in the Kingdom of Batavia, which is a successor state to Lotharingia in the European timeline on which I am currently working and hope to post soon.

I like the internal borders, but the international borders follow OTL a bit too much to my tastes: the French-Belgian border is entirely political, there's no river and only small wooden hills or flat plains. You may want to consider different boundaries there.My first-ever completed map, cross-posted in the Alternate Electoral Maps thread!

Country Profiles: Japan
The Empire of Japan (Japanese: 大日本帝国, Dai Nippon Teikoku, literally "Empire of Great Japan") is a country located in East Asia. It is bordered by the DPRK, China, Green Ukraine and the United States of America to the west and the Pacific Ocean to the east, and spans from the Kansakka peninsula (formerly known as Kamchatka) in the north to the East China Sea and the Philippine Sea in the south.
Part of the Pacific Ring of Fire, Japan encompasses an archipelago of about 6,852 islands, a territory in outer Manchuria and the Kansakka peninsula, with the seas of Japan and Hokkai separating the home isles from the Asian mainland territory. The six main islands (Hokkaido, Honshu, Karafuto, Kyushu, Shikoku, and Okinawa) are comprising 32% of the country's area and 91% of the population.
Japan is divided into 67 prefectures and traditionally into thirteen regions. The majority of the country's terrain is mountainous and heavily forested, and less than one-sixth of its land is suitable for agriculture. Consequently, Japan is among the most densely populated and urbanized countries in the world. The largest urban area is the metropolitan area centered on the capital city of Tokyo, which is the most populous in the world. Japan itself is the world's fifth-most populous country.
Japan's current reign, historically known as the Third Empire, was born due to the violent end of the Second Empire and the beginning of the subsequent American occupation. In 1952, the occupation and governing power returned to the citizens of Japan as part of a constitutional monarchy, still led by Emperor Hirohito. During the inter-empire period, Japan was ruled by the Liberal Democratic Party, which briefly gave way to the Socialist Party and the Left Coalition. Tensions between the various factions within the Liberal Democrats led to the split of the right-wing of the party and the formation of the Constitutional Democratic Party, or Rikken Minseitō, under the leadership of former writer and actor Yukio Mishima. Mishima implemented his agenda for Japan through massive modernization of Japan's social and economic order, along with an expansion of the military under the San Francisco treaty that imposed restrictions on Japan's military development as a condition for ending the American occupation. In addition, Mishima worked to restore Japan's national confidence to pre-WWII levels. He succeeded in persuading Emperor Hirohito to reclaim his godhead before retiring and vacating the place to his son Masahito. The new Emperor, an ally of Mishima since the beginning of his political career, has strongly supported these initiatives and has been a significant proponent of the nation's official transformation into the "Great Empire of Japan".
Filled with national pride, Japan joined the Allies in World War III in a surprise attack on the Soviet Union's eastern territories. At the end of the war, Japan was a major part of the new world order and gained territories on the eastern edge of Asia, such as Soviet territory south of the Amur River and the Kamchatka Peninsula. After the war, Japan had a brief series of border incidents with China, which felt threatened by the Japanese presence on its border. In the incident, known as the third Sino-Japanese war, Japan won but did not annex new territories. Today, Japan is a unitary parliamentary constitutional monarchy with the Emperor as a ceremonial, but influential, head of state and an elected bicameral legislature, with the House of Peers acting as the higher chamber and the National Diet as a lower chamber.
Since the adoption of the current system of governance, Japan has pursued a policy of partnership with the United States and the Freyist bloc but no formal alliance with any of them. Since the end of World War II, Japan has experienced massive economic growth that has intensified thanks to the stability provided by the Mishima government. Today, Japan enjoys a world-leading economy and a high standard of living. Japan is a foreign trade-dependent country because most of the Japanese production, especially in automotive and electronics, is exported. Culturally, Japan is renowned for its art, cuisine, literature, cinema, music, and popular culture. Japan enjoys the highest life expectancy in the West, and at the same time, small population growth compared to Western countries.
