This may be the last map of my CP Victory series. The world in 2018, 17 years after the last map.
China is the world's top power. Economically it dominates, technologically wise its on par with the United States, military wise it's the mightiest power. It is also the most populous country in the world, and one of the largest. It has much in resources, and an economic pact(the Union for Asian Prosperity; UAP)in which Cambodia-Vietnam, the Philippines, Japan, Turkmenistan, Persia, Iraq, Islamistan, Afghanistan, Burma, Mongolia, Kazakstan, Thailand, and Uzbekistan are members, most of these countries are truly Chinese puppets.
The once great German Empire is now half its continental size, but remains a somewhat regional player. The European Union of States was created after the European War of the 2000's. It consist's of the former Republic of the Netherlands, Belgium, and Germany. In the European War, Yugoslavia broke apart, Greece re-annexed its claimed portions of Macedonia, and Slovenia became independent of Austria. Italy holds a strong grip on Slovenia and Albania's governments.
Russia continues to stay to itself.
In the America's the United States has becoming the leading Space power, being the first to send men to the moon in 1968, and being the first to send men to Mars in 2011. Brazil wages a war of unification with Parana, an ally of the also powerful Argentina. Argentina is preparing to wage war on Brazil.
Africa remains the same, though the East African Union is a growing entity, lead by the powerful United States of the Horn.

Why would they want the open desert of the Arabian Peninsula? I think a true Greater Israelistan would just be the fertile crescent and maybe a chunk of Egypt for good measure.
I swear that this map looks similar to my map series in ways...
- Independent Quebec
- A Poland with parts of former Austria-Hungary
- Expansionist Romania
- Croatia-Bosnia
- American Columbia. (Mine also have the Yukon)
- Maritimes American
- Same colour for South Africa.
Go insane with colonial empires? Mexican Philippines! The Canadian Raj!
Yeah, I kinda remembered that after I replied.
None the less, my maps have been completely independent of yours, truly.
Well, it is a strange thing, really, for our two long lasting map series to have similarities in many ways, even though they are independent of each other.Yeah, I kinda remembered that after I replied.
None the less, my maps have been completely independent of yours, truly.
Are you accusing me of something?
I can back everything on my map, its not like hey that looks cool ima put it in my map... My world has a backstory, as does yours.
I am not accusing you. Just remarking that it is very strange for concidences to happen to our long lasting independent map series.
Guess so.
In my map series, Quebec and Canada went independent after the UK lost WWII, which the American's fought in against the UK. Yukon was annexed to allow for a weaker Canada and a connection to Alaska. Maritimes where also annexed. Honestly, the Maritimes being annexed happens a lot. It was just a viable choice, with the creation of Quebec they where now separated from Canada.
Poland gets the Austrian lands as a deal. In return, it is ruled by a Habsburg.
The Romanian thing stems from the 1920's with the fall of the Austrian-Hungarian Empire, and in actuality it has been back forth. At one point it controlled Bulgaria but not Transylvania, and at another it was back to just Romania, with a puppetized Transylvania. Hungary invaded Transylvania i believe in the 90's, leading to war, and unification of Transylvania with Romania.
Croatia-Bosnia recently became independent in the European War of the 2000's. I was originally going to for a disunited Croatia, and Bosnia, but felt it would look to much like OTL, so I made it so once Yugoslavia broke apart they where one nation.
On South Africa, isn't that the UCS color for South Africa? If not, that's the color I've been using for South Africa in my maps for a long time.
Thank you for explaining. In return, I shall explain mine.
Independent Quebec
Got its independence after a revolt in the 1890s. Was supported by America. (Britain supported CSA in Civil War, so USA hates them)
Poland with Austrian Lands
After the collapse of the Danubian Federation (republican Austria-Hungary), pro-Polish rebels rose up in support of annexation to Poland. At the Congress of Moscow, Poland was ceded the lands.
Expansionist Romania
Romania fell to a fascist and expansionist regime, by democracy. It took advantage of the collapse of the Danubian Federation, and the Second Russian Civil War (First turned out White Victory). It later got ganged up by its neighbours and shrunk.
Croatia-Bosnia
Croatian nationalists took control of Bosnia and interior Croatia in the Collapse of the Danubian Federation. Italy supported another revolt, that seized control of the coast. Italy prevents Dalmatia from uniting with Croatia-Bosnia.
American Columbia
Acquired in the First World War against Canada. Canada became fascist and nationalist after that.
Maritimes American
Acquired when the Quebecker independence was recognized. Britain tried to take control of it and N+L, but America kicked them off.
Same colour for South Africa
It is probably a Colour Scheme colour.
Isolationist USA - 1937
"Kaiser!!! Kaiser Wilhelm!!!" The young secretary shouted. She had been appointed as the personal secretary of Kaiser Wilhelm III. She, had been tasked to provide the Emperor with news about world events. She had been given her own building on the imperial grounds and tasked with managing a small team of linguists that could help decipher and translate the news coming from the neighbors of the German Empire.
It had been a difficult decade so far. Not just for the German Empire, but for the rest of the world as well. In 1931, Kaiser Wilhelm II had passed the crown to his son. He saw himself getting old and ill and no longer fit to rule the Empire. Within the next few years, the world had changed drastically.
The global economic depression had changed the way many nations saw the world. The Netherlands, which had been under German Influence since the early 20's, had been requested by the Belgian Rump State, under direct German leadership and occupation since the end of the Great War, for a national union. The Dutch leadership agreed and the United Kingdom of the Netherlands was re-established, under the protection of the German Empire and with German influence abound within its parliament.
However, the depression lead to a rise in a new ideology, Fascism. It had managed to make an impressive footprint in Italy, and was now spreading throughout the rest of Europe. France had taken notice, and turned to a more drastic form of the Fascist ideology. National Socialism, lead by Charles De Gaulle, had become prominent in France and became the official party. De Gaulle had assumed the title of "Le Presidente"but ruled as a dictator. Though the freedoms of the French people were slowly being lessened, the improving economy overshadowed much of what was happening within the nation.
In 1935, De Gaulle reinstated national conscription. This was in direct violation of the Treaty of Amsterdam. And the following year, the Champagne region was re-militarized by the French Army. During this time, Greek Nationalists had taken advantage of the stagnant economy of the remains of the Ottoman Empire and invaded. De Gaulle, with the support and discontent of the French people, sent an expeditionary force to assist the Greeks. Within two months, the Ottoman Empire ceased to exist, replaced by the Turkish National Movement and their Republic of Turkey, and both Greece and France had new colonies within their realm.
But this was simply the tip of the iceberg that was racing towards the faux peace of Europe. And it would see its first blood stains in Spain.
Kaiser Wilhelm III had been awoken by his secretary and handed a translated document. He had looked towards her and smiled. She was a beautiful young lady, and while very strong physically and mentally, she had an aura of innocence and submissiveness that caught his eye. After all, She was his beautiful Wife's adopted niece. "Couldn't this wait until morning?" he questioned, his deep, sultry voice had awoken his wife, who had been cuddled close to him after a night of intimacy. She didn't speak, but looked on while still remaining under the confines of the bedspread.
"I do not think so your excellency. It was defined as an urgent telegram from the President of Spain." The young secretary spoke
Kaiser Wilhelm III was puzzled and looked at the telegraph. The message within was clear... and it did not look good. He looked over to his wife as she looked up at her husband, awaiting his word. Wilhelm kissed her deeply and stood. He was tall by German standards. And since his ascension to the German Throne, he had taken more personal time for himself to improve his physique. It worked wonders for him and drastically improved his love life with his wife. His personal trainer was impressed with his improvement, as was his secretary. He stood nude before the two women in the room and reached for his robes. "This is going to be a long night Cecilie, this is a matter of war and it might be several days before I return." He said with a rough but reassuring tone. He turned and left, His secretary behind him.
The German War Room was bustling and chaotic to say the least. Civil War had erupted in Spain and Germany had been asked to help.
"The French and Italians have already sent aid to Franco. If we sit by and refuse to come to their aid, we might as well let the French storm Berlin!"
"The Spanish monarchy has sided with the Nationalists as well. Supporting the Republic will only keep a corrupt leader in power."
"Enough!" Kaiser Wilhelm was infuriated. His Generals made valid arguments, but he had been awoken during a wonderful evening and was far more agitated than normal. He stood and looked around. His main goal was keeping the French away from Morocco. "The French and Italians knock on our door every morning. They challenge us to a skirmish that we have won in the past. But today is different. We have other issues to focus on." He words were lost on his generals, but the continued to listen.
"We will not sit by and watch as the stability of Europe falls into a chaos that will lead to another war. Instead, we will protect the vital interests of the German People, and their Glorious Empire. I will not lead our people into a war where both sides will lead to tyranny. We will not aid either side in this war. and any incursions into our possessions will be met with extreme prejudice."
The following morning. The Soviet Union had taken the call and assisted the Republican faction in the Spanish Civil War. But Kaiser Wilhelm was not happy. He took his wife to Vienna for a quick vacation. After a week, He abdicated his throne, a reign of only six years. The New German Emperor, the young and brash Ludwig Ferdinand was crowned Emperor of Germany and King of Prussia. He and His wife, Grand Duchess Katya of the Romanov Family (youngest child, younger sister of Alexei) returned to Berlin where they began to rule. Kaiser Ludwig and Kaiserin Katya soon turned to one another and their families when issues became too large for them to solve. By the beginning of 1937. They had strengthened the German Economy and its Military without resorting to the death throes of Fascism. Both Ludwig and Katya knew that there was a storm coming, and they both wanted Germany to be prepared for its landfall.
