It's that Socialist Mussolini map I was working on a while ago. Not totally satisfied with it but it's close enough to being finished that it's on my DeviantArt. Maybe I'll come back to freshen it up at some point, I dunno.

More progress on the Bring the Jubilee sequel map. The backstory here, drawing from some info B_Munro wrote in the comments to his original map on DeviantArt, is that Germany, Spain, and the US win their war against the UK and CSA, both of which totally collapse. The British Empire's mostly...

wherein the Fashoda Incident escalates into a world war, with Britain + the Triple Alliance + the Ottoman Empire + Japan against France + Russia + the Congo Free State. The former side wins convincingly, although they're forced to make serious diplomatic concessions to keep the US and the...

A sequel to B_Munro's map of Bring the Jubilee, bringing things up to the early 2000s.

I'm not a huge fan of modern California partitionism anyway, but to be honest I don't get this one. You've got the Central Valley split three ways. Alpine and Mono Counties are largely cut off from easy access in your rump California by the Sierra Nevadas. Same problem with Del Norte in...

The war ITTL had turned into something similar to WWI, which is something that, as I understand it, everybody at the time was horrified of more than just about anything else. So the motivation to take an easy end to the war is there, helped by fears of Soviet expansion (lessened ITTL but still...

A Man, Not a Devil: An Alternate History Map This is a map of an alternate history where Vladimir Lenin dies in 1923 instead of 1924, leading to Joseph Stalin being sidelined and eventually exiled while Nikolai Bukharin takes over as leader of the Soviet Union. The USSR under Bukharin continues...

Working on a scenario that starts to diverge around WWI: Mussolini stays more ideologically committed to socialism and ends up leading a left-wing revolution in Italy; meanwhile, Charles Evans Hughes is elected President of the US in 1916. This map's set in 1952, about a decade after TTL's...

Well, why did the Republic of the Congo and Democratic Republic of the Congo unify then? I don't think the problem is necessarily a united Congo in and of itself, but that it's presented sans context. In general I think your map 1. underestimates the durability of a state, and 2. falls into the...

Yeah, sorry, I don't want to come across as combative here or anything. AH is all about this sort of thing, and, like an article on Sea Lion Press' website I read a little while ago said, there's a tension inherent in "hard AH" between trying to make an interesting and sufficiently different...

ITTL, serfdom in Russia ended in 1816 and the conservative nobility were largely discredited after the Russian Civil War, so there's very much a path to Russian industrialization in the 19th century that didn't exist IOTL. Lots of Russia's successes ITTL do come down to it being lucky, but I...

The mouth of the River Meon in Hampshire, England. Augusta's on the site of the present-day Titchfield Haven National Nature Reserve.

There aren't a lot of Celts in Belgium any more either. Dacia's the name of a historical geographic region derived from the collective name of a now long-gone confederation of ethnic groups; in TL172, that name's been adopted by the Germanic peoples who've lived in the region since their...

With all the content you post I'd have thought a substantial demographic change like that would be right up your alley.
