*Raises hand*
Excuse me, but what in the name of Santas trousers is a "Federal" Kingdom?
A country that has a Monarchy but uses a Federal system?
Guess you're right
Federated Kingdom sounds better IMO, which is why if I go that route I use it.
IOTL the UAE is the only Federal Kingdom I can think of, though I suppose some might argue that the UK is a de facto Quasi Federal Kingdom as well.

Forgot about Malaysia.
And yeah, you're right on the UAE, I suppose the correct thing to call them would be a Federation of Monarchies.

Its no monarchcial title, though. Its just an office connected with the Emir of Abu Dhabi. And yes, the presidency of the German Confederation, or of the North German Confederation for that matter, was not monarchical, either, despite each being tied to a monarchical position in a member state.

This is the first map of a timeline i'm working on, based on this POD:
Roderic and Aquihila, the two pretenders of Visigothic throne in 711 are more intelligent than our TL and allies themselves against the islamic invasion.
(And Sygarius beats Clovis at Soissons, allowed Visigoth to keep a larger part of their gallic possessions)
They loose the 3/4 of the peninsula but they keep enough of cohesion to create three states near 718 in the north, altough that the only true kingdom is that of Aquihila (Asturias for Roderic, Iberia for Pelasgio, Septimania for Aquihila)
Aquihila decides to let berbers and arabs pass trough his territories for invade Gaul, in exange of peace and a conversion of Aquihila.
Roderic dead in battle and Pelasgio tempt to resiste.
Gaul army wins the battle of Tours in 724 and stop musulman invasion, allowing Pelasge to keep his kingdom and give the throne of Septimania to a descendent of Roderic.
But visigoths have loosing more territories in this war and theire kingdoms are limited to Northern Asturias, Septimania and a costal band in south of Pyreneas.
The accession to the throne of Gaul of a germanic, but gallo-roman assimilated, family (Pippinids) let this kingdoms dominated and vassalized, but protected and after a short campaign their possessions are increased.
At the dislocation of the "Holy Roman Empire", Roman Kingdom of Gaul ceased to be, de-facto, the liege of Hispanians Kingdoms.

For this map, Roderigo II is the figure of the vertuous king and knight.
He decides, the moorish occupied by internal problems, to increase his territories.
After sveral and sucessfoul campaigns, he deads at the siege of Toledo, wanting to restaure the Hispanic Kingdom.
His winner is surnamed "Al-Mansur" (the victorious) by the morrish troops.
He takes the head of Cordova Emirate and decides, to give a lesson to northen kingdoms and, if possible, broke them to declares a Djiadh agaisnt them and the moorish states that doesn't recognize his autority.
All his ennemies allied themselves, and, after defeats and losts, defeat Al-Mansur, but they are too weak to have great loots.
Cordova is greater, but alone in Al-Andalus
Asturias, with the brother of Roderigo at his head, try to reorganize his forces
Iberia is blocked between Gaul, Moors and Cordova
Pampelune sees his independence de-facto guaranteed...until the next attack
Independents Moors lives a dilemna : ally themselves with kingdoms who wants to reconquest their lands, or perish under the Cordovan fist.

-Yes, it's not with dates, years, etc. because i'm still working on a correct timeline
-No, isn't the same Al-Mansur than in our TL
-It's the first complete map i'm doing, from alpha to omega (i know, twice the pride, twice the fall)

Awesome. Still, you wrote Repbulic of Poland.
Veeeery good. But...would the Italian states accept downright annexation? Wouldn't a federation (The Alpine Confederation? Just thinking) be better?
My humble entry for MoF3. Please consider how I rarely do anything fancy.
Major points:
-As per rules, the three wanked countries are Germany, Italy (IMO), and Russia
-France was doing just fine until the Revolutionary Chaos (1830s-1850s) which saw Germany go its own path and grow very large.
-Russia has been given a free hand sense the averted war between it and France. It's been taking advantage of Eastern Europe for awhile now.
-The rumpish Ottoman Empire is the last remaining ally of the UK, which is quickly becoming politicaly isolated.
-Italy was able to achive the current borders with help from France, and as such, they are the closest allies.
-Prussia has resisted Germany with aid from Russia.
-White countries are nuetral. Spain deserves mention, acting as Switzerland OTL.
