Map of a Very different Reformation.
Map Date is 1545 AD, with a Point of Divergence in the 1440's

(if someone could rate me on the plausibility of this map I'd very much appreciate it)

What is Freudian Christianity?

What is Freudian Christianity?

"Tell me about your relationship with Christ's mother"

 

[Nucleep]

I've made two versions of a Pangaea WorldA based on maps I found off the internet. You might notice some differences between the two.
(Yes, I understand many of the lakes shown here shouldn't exist; if you want them gone you can erase them yourself.)

Spoiler: Blank versions of the maps

"Tell me about your relationship with Christ's mother"

I can't imagine the shape of their crosses.

Sometimes a crucifix is just a crucifix.

Added in administrative divisions for the Spanish viceroyalties and Brazil in my 1914 map.

"Tell me about your relationship with Christ's mother"

The monastic orders will be one hell of a thing to see.

I would advise you to publish this in the WIP Map Thread and then, when you have the final version, publish it here

The Order of St Sigmund of the Reclining Couch.

IIRC, Spain and Portugal controlled various cities along the north African coast during this period.

I see, forgot them.

Mildly amusing to me that the distortion on Western Siberia vaguely resembles the way the Arctic/Greenland/Scandinavia are depicted on the Erdapfel

A quick read through wikipedia indicates that France had the odd concession here and there as well:

The Order of St Sigmund of the Reclining Couch.

Way less risqué than the whole spiritual brides and grooms of christ thing i had in mind, but also very good.

Oh, that's the Order of St Sigmund of the Cigar. They're next door.

It helps for me to make a distinction between two kinds of alternate history: divergent alternate history where history diverges and never returns, and parallel alternate history where historical figures and patterns emerge.

They're both awesome, but for completely different reasons.

I consider the second a joke, but then comedy can be fun. (A big fan of Airplane and the Marx Brothers movies myself).

Edit: perhaps that came across as too harsh. To clarify, I consider the notion of history being on some sort of rails so that people like Napoleon and Hitler and John F Kennedy keep showing up in spite of major PODs to be fantasy, not alternate history, but that doesn't mean I can't enjoy a story set in such a setting. I would read a story set in 1970 in a world where the (Eastern) Roman empire never fell and now threatens western Europe, south America is inhabited by sentient bird-like dinosaurs, and Richard Nixon is still president of the United States.

 

[PolishMagnet]

Hohenzollern Poland >>> Polska Hohenzollernów
Bamborska (not a word I would have used, but who knows how Polish language evolved ITTL)
Expansion year-year >>> Ekspansja w latach xxxx-yyyy
Poland After Napoleonic Wars >>> Polska po wojnach napoleońskich
Poland before the war >>> Polska przed wojną
Territory lost >>> Terytorium utracone

Yeah Bamborska is a mutation that evolves ITTL.

I wanted the title to be "Poland through the Napoleonic wars" so I used "przez"

But yeah, the rest are mistakes. That's what I get for not going to Polish lessons as a kid.

I dont think you can use "przez" in that phrase (or at least you shouldn't). It rather should be "Polska w czasach wojen napoleońskich" or imo better "Polska w okresie wojen napoleońskich" (lit. Poland in the times of N. W. and Poland in the period of N.W.)
