Wow! This is really amazing, I hope you work on it some more! I took a peek at your other stuff in this thread as well, it's all top tier. I'm not making involved posts or working on projects like this these days, but I'm hoping to get going again later this year. That said (let me put in a...

Amazing! Major nostalgia vibes. I was a big fan of Dystopic Return of Magic from when it first came out.

>Ireland's AI is in Wexford f**k ... they're onto me

It would have been a pressure that built up over centuries. A couple of percent of decreasing population every year would add up over that time scale. It's not something that sounds impossible to me, so wherever and whenever I read it, I guess I just believed it.

This was my understanding. I thought I'd read that people moved out of range of the slave raids that came inland from the Swahili coast, to the point where the land was actually depopulated, not sure about the West Coast. Supposedly an area between the Swahili coast and the African Great Lakes...

This is what I'm talking about. This one below is already an improvement over what we had in 2000-ish. It's just hard to find the older ones, and I'm not putting hours into finding maps that are more wrong. Worth mentioning that many of the uninhabited areas of Africa were made so by the...

Very beautiful! The content on here is always improving. Someone could organize the amazing map making community here to produce a very high quality book of maps of real history. I remember when the maps of OTL posted here had solid blocks of color showing the territory controlled by...

Very creative! In your ultimate flat Earth, can we send our rockets over the grey clarketech barriers? What kind of beings were able to get through them to reach the conquered test site? https://subterraneanpress.com/magazine/spring_2007/fiction_missile_gap_by_charles_stross/ A science...

I notice that China has an arrangement in Far Eastern Russia. This territory is outlined with Russian color, is that indicating that it's occupied? China is also more involved in a few other places near their borders, not unrealistic if the USA has withdrawn from world politics. Chinese...

This is really good stuff. 10 / 10 nice job.

We could compromise. Every subsequent number is in a higher base. Maximum ease for children learning in low numbers, and most versatile for adults doing serious business in higher numbers. 1 is 1 (all good so far), 10 is 2, 11 is 3, 20 is 4, 21 is 5, 22 is 6, 30 is 7, 31 is 8, 32 is 9, 33 is...

It wasn't a specific border plan, it was the general term for the policy of removing Palestinian populations and replacing them with Jewish populations, starting during the civil war and continuing through independence and Arab invasion.

It's about which is acceptable to the British, what makes it acceptable for them to remain involved. They could have made any of the more equitable partitions work. Anything close to a Greater Israel like in OTL would always require a major war, but some of the partition proposals are as...

There wouldn't be a West Bank here. IOTL the West Bank is the area between the armistice line and the Jordan River, it marks the limits of the Israel advance, in TTL that would end at the Jordan River. There is no reason to believe that they'd have held back on continuing the Nakba in their...
