Yes, and yes. Fictional worlds are almost always allowed, unless the contest calls for a specific historical scenario.

Once again my old proposals, just so you don't forget.
And then I'd declare, as I'm already at it, that I'd throw my weight behind Making The Best Of An Awkward Situation as the last several years of OTL feel like a new awkward situation where everybody struggles to make the best of it.

With only two entries so far, I am going to go ahead and extend this round. Ordinarily I would extend it to the 2nd, but I don't expect to have time to post threads that evening, so this round will now end Sunday, November 1.
For What It’s Worth - make a map depicting large scale crippling civil unrest
Doctor No More - make a map of a pacifist nation going militaristic
11’s Hour is Over Now - make a map of the final hours of a state
You Want It Where? - make a map of a construct somewhere inhospitable (ie WW2 Pacific island airbases)
The Scramble for Space - make a map depicting the colonial division of a non-Earth interplanetary object
A New Atlantis - make a map depicting an underwater nation suffering a cataclysm
The Faro Plague - make a map depicting a rogue AI swarm
Among Thieves - make a map depicting a piratical nation
Thunder’s Drum - make a map of an advanced construct worshipped by a primitive civilization

Congratulations to @Prince di Corsica, who certainly pulled off a coup in MotF 225 with a slightly terrifying map of "The Enlightened Republic of Japan!"

Can a map that would have fit for Stretch's suggestion work for this round? As in alternate geography based on historical innacuracies?

Hmm, that's not how I had interpreted the topic, but I will accept any entries along those lines as well.
I was working on a map and I wondered: should inaccuracies be geographic alone or can they belong to human geography? Like there being an idea that a certain city or industry exists in a region.

Alright, with several folks having entries in the works but none yet submitted, MotF 227: Here Be Dragons is hereby extended to November 23.
