eisenhower was a bit shorter than nixon so if I use the later's body and make Castro a bit taller, this should be about right.

Wow, thanks it is impressive stuff. It doesn't surprise me anymore that "deep fakes" actually exist nowadays...although is it normal that Ike's cranium/head shape seems to resemble the same from Indiana Jones Crystal Skull? Or is it because Eisenhower actually had a head like that ? @Marc Pasquin

This is the picture I took his head from. Ike got a big head.

@Marc Pasquin well yes, although the individual (btw who is he?) sharing the desk with him seems bigger. May I ask you in the future for similar photoshops? I have a few more if you can do them.

  • Enrico Berlinguer & Giorgio Almirante (these actually met but a photo doesn't exist...at least officially)
  • Enrico Berlinguer & Gorbachev
  • Giorgio Almirante & Dragoljub "Draža" Mihailović
 
Only Buildings, any goods, all population is transported. All land mass stall the same.
See the list of nations I provided already, Will tell you what states/regions have been moved.
I am still not following. I guess it doesn't matter to me what regions have moved where, since it is just people and things that move. What matters in terms of making a map is what regions do you want grouped together, and then what do you want that region called?
 
I would love it if some kind person could make a Worlda map based on this wondrously whimsical image of how one cartographer imagined the world to look:

@Uru Hammer @Marc Pasquin

It was my understanding that three-pointed star was also the symbol of the Popular Front, at least if Wikipedia can be trusted.
The Catalan nation I'm thinking would exist as a somewhat "Third Way" socialist state--opposed to capitalism, but eager to differentiate itself from the heavy-handed political homogeneity of the USSR. Ergo, explicitly referencing a single party on the flag would contradict the principles of this nation.

Are there any symbols, either national or socialist in nature, that were used specifically by Catalans?

I think what's wanted is a map for each of the nations named in bold in post 1474. For each nation, it then has a number of states to be labelled.
Some of those are in OTL locations: for example, the 'Bear State Republic' has seven states South California, North California, Nevada, Arizona, Baja California, Sonora and Sinaloa.
For other nations, the OTL names now refer to a completely different location. So the 'Confederate States of Asia' has lots of states (I haven't counted them), including one called Florida which occupies what is OTL Malaysia, another called Georgia which is where Thailand is OTL, etc. So for this country, it's a map of SE Asia / Oceania which is wanted, but with different names everywhere.

@Starjade - am I right? (I can't help with it myself, sorry - I'm not a mapmaker.)

I'm not normally a mapmaker, either, but I just can't figure out what is being asked for. Does he/she want a map that has a portion of OTL Malaysia that is named Florida? Or does he/she want a map that has OTL Florida named Malaysia? For the Indian Federation, where are the boundaries? This request makes no sense to me.

I think it's 'OTL Malaysia named Florida'.
For the boundaries of non-OTL entities, I have no idea.

See Post 1479. For like the Indian Federation it covers the following area ( forgot to put in list my bad).

Area Covered by the Indian Federation​
Tennessee​

the symbol was used by the communist party in propaganda poster in support of the Popular Front but wasn't used by the Popular Front itself.

Not that I'm aware of but this version of the catalan flag is used OTL by some left-leaning independentists:

Looking for help improving or even radically changing this design. It's for a surviving Kingdom of Jerusalem, with the flag designed to represent the major faiths contained within the kingdom's borders (which I'm envisioning, at this early stage, being OTL Israel and Palestine, Golan, and the Sinai, with a UN-controlled Suez canal). I made this using freely-available Wiki elements, but I'm not in love with it; it's based on the OTL Kingdom of Jerusalem, but with four small symbols of the non-Catholic/Orthodox faiths (clockwise from upper left: Judaism, Eastern Christianity, Samaritanism, Islam). Any suggestions for what to do here? Or anyone able to offer an alternate, more aesthetically pleasing design that somehow merges the general idea?

Alternately, if someone has an idea for how to better represent this in a coat of arms, I am partial to the idea of flags that have the CoA on them!

when there are so many things you want to represent, either have something purely neutral or else have each faith represented as a repetition of the same item: 4 stars, 4 bars, 4 colours, etc....

Indeed, Marc is correct.
Quartering can help maintain a certain cross style from the original:

Crowns if accenting king over all 4 faiths

Edit: of course depending on your pod the arms will differ anyway. See http://www.hubert-herald.nl/JerusalemArms.htm

It's a fun challenge to do once in a while but I don't really feel like doing a bunch of them.

Thanks to both of you @Marc Pasquin and @The Professor ! I think I'm going to go with the crown idea to make it a bit more neutral, and then represent individual faiths in something separate (ie, not the CoA or the flag itself). Thanks again for the advice!
