Map of the Fortnight: Main Discussion Thread

Wow, I want to thank whoever voted for my map! I didn't expect to earn any votes, the other entries were so great (including Epsilon Tuari's which I voted for) and I made my map more as a way to experiment that poster-board style and participate in the contest. Thank you!
  • It is definitely a cool-looking poster
  • Thank you for your vote!
 
I'll hold the voting thread to Tuesday for you if you figure you will be ready by then.

Go ahead and post the thread whenever you are ready, I don't think I will finish on time.

My map displaying the secularization of an independent Valais will have to wait until another day to be posted.
 
Hi, long-term reader and lurker with a folder full of half-finished maps here :)

I'm a little confused about this challenge: should we be depicting a world where a revisionist/ahistorical/pseudohistorical theory (like say, a conspiracy theory) has gained mass acceptance with the public and/or is being presented as true by the authorities? OR should we be depicting an ahistorical/pseudohistorical/revisionist theory as if it were actually true?

(I assumed it was the former, but now I'm not sure 😅)

I am also not sure. The submission was not very clearly written. Feel free to submit maps along either interpretation.
 
Four Corners: Make a map of four or more entities which share, or almost share, a common point. Examples: Utah/Colorado/Arizona/New Mexico, Namibia/Zambia/Botswana/Zimbabwe (they almost meet), the four suyus of the Incan Empire which all meet at Cuzco, that one proposal to slice Europe up like a pie, Egypt/Hala'ib/Bir Tawil/Sudan, South Pole, Mount Etna (10 communes meet there, one twice), the original 1947 UN partition plan for Palestine that had two points where Israel and Palestine crossed over.

For the current challenge, does the response have to be international? If so it essentially precludes anything pre-15th century.
 
Hello all! I'm going on a camping trip this weekend, so the new entry thread will be posted on Friday rather than Monday. However, I won't post the 257 voting thread until Wednesday or so. In that time you can submit to either or both contests.
