I tried my best at approximating this map in the redraw tool all the cool kids seem to be using lately. I say 'approximate' because it looks like Neil Freeman's original map spliced through a few current county borders. Compare the state of Los Angeles and the area around El Paso for examples...

And now the maps hosted on Imageshack are malfunctioning at the source, too. As such, I have instead decided to post all of the maps to my previously lurking-only DeviantArt account. Enjoy the (still only up to 700 a.d. :o) cartographic goodness!

It seems the one that disappeared were the ones I hosted on Imageshack. All the maps are still hosted there just fine, so I don't know what happened. Do any readers know of a way to fix this problem without have to repost the images? Worst-case scenario I'll have to bother a moderator to let...

Thanks! The standard quarter-centennial map will ensue once I remember (read as: figure out all over again) how I made the previous maps in paint.NET, GIMP, and Inkscape. I haven't really fiddled with a map in anything other than standard MSPaint in a long time.

I told you it wasn't dead. 721: Chindagild III orders the baptism of all Jews in Visigothia, specifically baptism in the Catholic rite of Christianity; the autonomous Arian chieftains naturally refuse, providing Chindagild a casus belli for war With the return of Umvahidan forces to Thracia, a...

...did you only just now read the update that was posted *checks time stamp* just over a year ago? It wouldn't be a resurrection because the timeline's not dead per se. It is just in a state of VERY deep hibernation. I seriously didn't realize this thing hadn't been updated in a year. I've...

And now, for the last settler dominion of my leader lists (links to the old ones below). Sorry for the delay. Civilization: Beyond Earth has devoured my life. 1895-1904: Paul Kruger (Afrikaner) [1] 1904-1909: Jan Hendrik Hofmeyr (Afrikaner) [2] 1909-1910: John X. Merriman (Afrikaner) [3]...

Now for the next installment of my series: the kiwi prime ministers. In retrospect, this list seems a bit too parallel to OTL, but it's a bit too late to change that now. 1893-1906: Richard John Seddon (Liberal) [1] 1906-1911: Joseph Ward (Liberal) [2] 1911-1913: William Massey (Reform) [3]...

The annoying part of posting these lists is that, with the exception of the US, CS, and UK, I didn't keep notes as to why I selected the heads of state in question, which means footnotes are mostly a result of re-research. Anyway, let's go Down Under to witness how London's stronger...

The perceived threat of the U.S., plus the imperial agendas of Tupper and then Chamberlain, helped to navigate Newfoundland into Canada's orbit. As for Manitoba, the situation in western Canada is all shook up after I butterflied away Louis Riel's return to Canada, thus averting/modifying the...

So apparently the F4 key on my new laptop doesn't need me to press 'Alt' to close a window. That was a fun way to lose a post. Let's try this again: Canadian prime ministers, now with more Duverger's Law! 1867-1878: John A. MacDonald (Conservative) [1] 1878-1886: Alexander Mackenzie...

Thanks.:D I'll post Canada sometime soon (on my phone atm)

Continuing this series, here we have the British prime ministers from the P.O.D. to the 'present.' While lists from here on out won't have election dates and defeated opponents like the prior two, I'll try to make up for it w/ more descriptive footnotes. 1859-1866: Lord Palmerston (Liberal)...

Here's the list of Presidents of the Confederate States, as promised. For those who didn't see it, the corresponding list of U.S. presidents is near the bottom of the previous page. Hopefully I avoided most of the Confederacy's AH cliches. 1861-1868: Jefferson Davis/Alexander H. Stephens...

Something from an alternate history setting that I made for a college roommate of mine a few years back for a NaNoWriMo of his. His initial authorial requirements were: surviving Confederacy, German victory in alt-Great War, and ZEPPELINS, so there's been only so much triage I could do...
