Do you mean this one?There was a map someways back in the thread showing the Tibet area in all it's ultra-fragmented pre-modern glory. It doesn't come up with the search term "Tibet": does anyone else remember it and (hopefully) have a link?

Even HeX's TL had a (planned) big Greece. It was confirmed that AMPU Greece would've had Constantinople and a good portion of Eastern AnatoliaI'm not entirely sure HeX would enjoy AMPU being associated with blatantly revanchist stuff like the Megali idea.
Very impressive work. What's the date?Do you mean this one?

Yeah but that's a regrettable part of a timeline I'm not super proud of anymore, made in a time when I didn't know as much about history as I do now. The IRL Greek plan to invade and conquer large portions of Turkey would have led to massive amounts of genocide and cultural/religious extermination, like the Armenian Genocide but with the Turks on the recieving end.Even HeX's TL had a (planned) big Greece.

I'm sceptical of how a bigger US equals a more perfect world.A map of a more perfect world. A labelled version is coming soon. Thoughts? Questions? Feedback?
That's the one. Thanks!Do you mean this one?

Really, whether a world is good or bad is difficult to interpret from geography alone. A surviving Weimar Germany beats OTL but a Germany with Weimar borders (and likely including Austria) looks a bit Germany-wank sans context.I'm sceptical of how a bigger US equals a more perfect world.
My objections come from more political standpoints - forcing more people to endure the tipping culture, lack of welfare, hardcore partisan politics, protection of Far Right militia groups, mass shootings, and so on. I'm not some tankie, but I'm no fan of the USA.Really, whether a world is good or bad is difficult to interpret from geography alone.

Who's saying that TTL America is exactly like OTL America in every way? For all we know, TTL's America could be a socialist paradiseMy objections come from more political standpoints - forcing more people to endure the tipping culture, lack of welfare, hardcore partisan politics, protection of Far Right militia groups, mass shootings, and so on.

Well, it was, judging by this site's demographics, likely made by an American.I'm sceptical of how a bigger US equals a more perfect world.
Thank you.
Neither Google nor Wikipedia gives me anything about the Koshut still being around (under that name) in 1914, is the map ATL rather than OTL?
I was only comparing my TL to your TL's USA, not the rest of the world.Yeah but that's a regrettable part of a timeline I'm not super proud of anymore, made in a time when I didn't know as much about history as I do now.

For a start, there being more Spanish speakers results in a more bilingual and more diverse country. There was also no Trail of Tears or other Indian removals in TTL (hence the state of Cherokee in Georgia), and many parts of TTL's USA are native majority.I'm sceptical of how a bigger US equals a more perfect world.
In TTL, there's none of that.My objections come from more political standpoints - forcing more people to endure the tipping culture, lack of welfare, hardcore partisan politics, protection of Far Right militia groups, mass shootings, and so on. I'm not some tankie, but I'm no fan of the USA.

For what my opinion's worth I don't think the US is inherently bad. But neither is it inherently good either. And absent further information on the map, it's simply impossible to discern the political set-ups of the countries. The US could be a democratic socialist utopia of some sort, an authoritarian dictatorship of another, or, IMO, probably something hewing closer to OTL.Lest it be said I am sniffing the nationalism cocaine, I am perfectly in agreement that the current US does not require wanking and probably isn't a country that you should buy a used car from. What does annoy me is the imputation that our current troubles somehow demonstrate the US is inherently bad. (If we consider the entire American project as fundamentally rotten from the start, what does that leave us pro-democracy Americans save nihilism or fantasies of an all-encompassing revolution which most people don't want?)
