Thank you for making that point, Tim, it was an enjoyable read. :)

I'm afraid not; it's what everyone expects. :P Besides, India is perhaps the most sensible place for a runaway nation that doesn't need to conquer all of its neighbours (that is to say, Europe would be better, but then there'd hardly be a map if all European nations were gone). India needs to...

This is a less exciting or unique map than my usual ones, I suppose, but I've always had the idea of creating a world inhabited by all of Civilization's (that is to say, I through VI) civilisations, and most of the leaders present there. And thus was born; a World of Civilization! 1) Mostly...

Because they were evil, of course. Etymology is such a nice thing.

There may or may not be an Illuminati - a random citizen in the Deus Ex universe wouldn't know. Still, looking at Deus Ex from the perspective of a random citizen... Well, yeah, the Aug 'Incident' was horrible, all the riots, the fact that so many augmented people are mistreated / live amongst...

Mhm, that isn't a problem for me, but that could be because my monitor is extremely bright (really, my brightness is currently at zero - it'd hurt my eyes otherwise, at this time of the day - and I bet it is still brighter than many monitors). I'd normally go with black, but that was too hard to...

Thank you. :) Initially, fun oddness, for one never really sees such a Navarre and all. But it is much like how East Germany is decoupled from 'Germany', or why Friesland is decoupled from 'the Netherlands'. A variety of policies fitting under the 'social justice' framework were tried out...

I began drawing this map just after reading some of Deus Ex's design document, about its background before the game became the game we know. The map quickly evolved into a multipolar world of pseudo-superpowers: The USA, a true superpower, if not for the fact that it is slowly crumbling apart...

In the year Twenty-One Sixteen, If seas are mostly clean, If skies lack poison-green, They may have seen... (the same map, with a size increase of 300%) 1) As the world was plunged into madness, the Haitian populace was divided between asking the Loa or Bondye for help. Those preferring Bondye...

Ever tried Making History (II)? That's a game with all kinds of wacky results though, so you mightn't like it if realism is your thing.

Exactly! Besides, who doesn't want to hear "No comrade premier, it has only begun"? And yes, Santa migrated, okay? Leave the poor man alone, he's busy enough bringing presents to all of you! :p

Boo:

Yeah, I know, I just liked going with a more joke-y approach at the end. I suppose I could turn the sea and all back to the normal blue. But the countries' colours serve a purpose; red-ish is communist, white-ish (Turkey, for example) is your average capitalist authoritarian-ish nation, not...
