too bad for them; they cant find me because western terranova doesnt exist 
the reason i lumped scandinavia in with western russia is because of their similar climate. while theyre geograpgically closer to continental europe, theyre still seperated by the ocean. and again, these borders dont denote countries, they show regions according to the ATL pokemon league

Uhm, the climate isn't all that similar (it gets colder the more east you go), you haven't all Scandinavia in Muscovy, in any case, and I think you fail to see the Scanian-Danish point of view.too bad for them; they cant find me because western terranova doesnt exist
As a secretly (no longer) major pokemon fan, I approve of these maps.
I always thought of having national/semi-regional tourneys with a local Elite Four and a worldwide Pokemon League and super-Elite Four national/regional champions would take part in.

Kinda ASB: starts out with Prince Dakkar of Bundelkund leading a more successful Indian Revolt and carving out an independent North Indian state after a long struggle, and going from there...
In the year 2010, the formerly three-sided conflict for world domination has become essentially two-sided with the breakup of the Europea Socialist Union after a messy civil war: although the German-dominated rump still has its loyalists abroad, the unified Red Menace is now a thing of the past, and successor states are struggling to find a way to catch up economically to the Capitalist powers.
On the one hand are the Asian Alliance powers, capitalist but anti-liberal, autocracies or one-party authoritarian "republics", and all with old grudges against Europeans (and Japanese, in the case of China). The alliance is led by the Empire of India, which is the worlds largest economy, if still rather poorer on a per capita basis than second-place US. The *fascistic Chinese republic is rapidly catching up with number three (Japan) and is growing a bit restless with it's "junior partner" role in the Alliance.
On the other side is the Alliance for Democracy, their hostility towards the authoritarian Asian states sharpened by the loss of their (intermittently) common enemy.
The British Federation never quite jelled by the time of the Fifty Minutes War (in which the US and the Socialist Union "got their hair mussed" while the UK got plastered), and after the center of the Federation moved to Canada, Australia and South Africa decided to remain independent within the Commonwealth. In spite of war losses and serious emigration, England is still Canada's largest province. Now that radiation levels are low enough that only the whimpiest will not visit, efforts are being made to (slowly) reconstruct London.
Haiti broke up into two mutually hostile states a while back. The north, in spite of its oddly mutant Christianity (in which national founding hero L'Overture is a member of the pantheon of saints) is currently doing rather better than the south.
The nuclear-armed Siberian Empire, founded by a somewhat less nutty Ungern Von Sternberg type, has shaken off the US/Japanese "protectorate" status it used to have, and the present Khan-Tsar has some very definite ambitions when it comes to the currently politically chaotic post-communist Russia.
The end of Boer independence was more drawn out and even messier than OTL, and had odd results in the aftermath of the Suicide War and the Struggle for European Socialist Unification: Nieu Transvaal is about 60% white.
India is a muti-religious and multi-cultural state in which Empire overrides nation and there is a place for everyone and for everyone a place. Loyalty to the state is boosted by tremendous economic growth, Imperial glory, and the unifying struggle against the Western Barbarians, although each new Grand Rajah must appear before the clan heads of the Pathans to reassure them that their various privileges and rights will be respected before the suspicious Muslims will tolerate an overlord of Hindu descent (darn Pathans). It is a rather technocratic state, a tradition from the first Rajah, an engineer of genius before events pushed him into war and politics. The current leadership is rather smug about the success of their push to wean India off any energy imports by massive promotion of nuclear and solar power...

Sweet map B_Munro.
Some of you may remember the maps I made of the complicated Russian empire and Napoleanic French Socialist Empire. This is the third and neutral power of that world, the USA. But it's a very very different USA.
So, without further ado, a map of the USA in the year 1923, 30 years since the end of the Progressive Revolution:

I like it! The quality of it, that is to say. It's going into my Not My Creation folder.
Thanks! And yours is very cool: you seem to have a knack for complicated political arrangements - perhaps in a former life you helped design the Holy Roman Empire? Or Switzerland?
Isn't China also a major power?
Ok, so Washington became, hm, king in Virginia and some sort of figurehead emperor of America, to provide a unifying figure? And when Napoleonic France overran Britain, the British royal house fled to Canada and, oy vey, the British kingdom of Canada became part of the United States with the British king as a vassal of the Emperor Washington? (And I'd like to see how the British crown in exile swallowed _that_...but perhaps that was rather a while later).
And, as your other maps show, a lot of Latin America went revolutionary hard left: so the Empire of Mexico survives in exile in California, which was never annexed by the US in this TL? (Although Texas seems to have done so)? And New Mexico seems to have come into the US seperately as a Spanish-speaking state...I get the impression this is a lot looser union than the OTL US. No war over the slave thing? But I suppose with Mongo Napoleonic Empire around, a certain Hang Together or Hang Seperately attitude may have prevailed.
And those "revolutionary congresses" really just baffle me.
EDIT: Oops, so I just looked at the other maps: so he's president rather than Emperor, although the contitutional arrangements for having a monarchy as part of a democratic federal...ah, forget about it, or I'll need an Advil too.

Beautiful map Atom.
Now excuse me I'll be popping some Advil to understand what the hell is going on there...
Also from what I get: Mexico is split between American vassal states, the imperial government in Exil in California and Mexico as part of... is that the progressives?

Welcome the of world of Liberty's Crystal Skeleton circa 1920. Please watch you step as this Alt contains savages, a racist, slightly steampunck USA; a slightly wanked Japan; the Empire of Three Kingdoms (A Habsburg ruled Greater Ausrtia); and an Indian centered British Empire.
What's with Newfoundland and the Bahamas? Are they not British any more?
