Cool! I'm just not sure what my next step would be since I have zero mapmaking experience unfortunately.

Get yourself some good basemaps. There is a selection of them in the various basemap threads.
Thanks, I didn't realise I was so recognizable.
If you mean the 16th Century maps I've been making, I am working on the 1560's atm but the 2nd half of the century is complex and I've made it more so by expanding the map to include Scandinavia, Russia and Eastern Turkey.
Lots of research needed.
Interesting. Which background do you use?View attachment 613158
Another map from my timeline I have been posting. Any feedback is welcome. I believe this will be my last map for tonight my next will probably be the War for Polish succession.
Isn't that just a bathymetric chart of that part of the Med?
Who is in the Virgin Islands? Can’t tell from the shade if it is meant to be Danish, American, or if it is the Norwegian color so many people poach to give to Denmark.
My guess would be that the CSA wins the Civil War, but loses the peace. Russia keeps Alaska. Quebec becomes independent, and Canada doesn't unify as we know it.
There is a new current politics map thread in chat where anything relating to the modern day now goes.
I wouldn't say anything relating to modern day.
Just politics.
Which a "sphere-of-influence" map definitely is.
Uh... Not really based on a backstory but more based on ideas that I found neat.
So first I guess would be the idea that the South American states of Gran Columbia and Peru-Bolivia survived, while Paraguay was wiped of the map, together with a Brazilian Empire that retained Uruguay.
Mexico collapsed hard and now we have some new smaller states.
Spain lost Cuba and Puerto Rico through independence wars.
The CSA won the Civil War but then slowly broke apart. There is an independent Afro-American state, Florida, Texas, independent Indian territory, basically an Indian-White country west of Texas, an independent Arkansas and a CSA remnant.
Hawaii retained independence.
Alaska remained Russian and became the last bastion of non-Soviet Russian land.
Newfoundland never joined Canada, while Canada broke up.

The Ottoman Empire -
Then Ottoman Empire is the third of the thnree great powers. If in the space the House of Osman owns less land than everyone else, on planet Earth its borders are the most extended.
More on my Thread. I don't want annying people who could be not interested in my project.
Tbh the Ottomans would have to annex Persia if it wanted to make a continuous empire from Bosnia to Delhi.
