A quick and dirty map I've been adding to every now and then in my lunchbreaks, based in the Warhammer 40,000 universe and essentially mapping out my home-brewed sub-sector and the worlds therein. The key, which is not my own but which I got off reddit, can be found here. Hardly a work of too...

I've been doing some Northern Ireland local election maps recently.This necessitated having to make a map for the 1993 to 2011 boundaries, since an editable one didn't actually exist. Complete sets for every local election are done for the UUP, SDLP and Alliance Party. The maps are by no means...

To be honest I'm almost surprised the Nationalist voters of Waterside are willing to give that many preferences to the DUP or UUP... These maps really are excellent by the way, very interesting looking them over. Almost feel sad for the UUP in a way that the maps of Unionist areas are so very...

Over the past little while I've been working on and off on a continuation of a map I did a couple of years ago that featured Oman and Egypt as major powers in the early twentieth century. Now I have the aftermath of the war that was being built up to. - The spark that led to the War came from...

Excellent stuff. Just a tad scary thinking about a world where Gerry's in a position to become Prime Minister, but still an excellent bit of work From memory he generally uses that old Sinn Fein favourite "these islands".

Well it's absolutely great news for the Nationalists for starters, without FPTP to shore up the Unionists in Stormont and in local government they might have a bit more of a chance of actually getting somewhere. There's little hope of them actually forming a government, but they certainly can't...

I don't think that'll work across the board. I know the Scots like a long seat name, but Berwickshire, Roxburgh and Selkirk-Dumfrieshire, Clydesdale and Tweeddale is a bit much. Northern Irish mergers all look fairly sensible. I don't have time to go through all of the seats and do the maths at...

Bad things happen. Northern Ireland hasn't the money to keep itself going, nor does it have the British army there to restrain it from descending into a full-fledged, Balkan-esque orgy of communal bloodletting. And if they keep the men and equipment of the Northern Irish parts of the British...

I've been looking forward to seeing Peter and the two Nigels land this particular fly in the ointment. A good way for Nigel to shore up his position after his coup and I'm sure Peter's been promised one or two goodies straightaway (and presumably much more should DUKIP ever get anywhere near a...

Glad to have been of service (even if that service consisted mostly of saying "Probably the same as last time" in a very long-winded manner :p A very good update. What an odd world it is where the fate of the British government could be swayed by Naomi Long, Alasdair McDonnell and Nigel Dodds.

Well on Scotland we have the following: I don't think we've heard much on how things went in the Welsh or Northern Irish devolved elections. For the latter I'd guess that it was mostly the same as OTL. Maybe one or two seats change hands due to first preferences or transfers to a stronger...

And if I remember correctly Belfast East has also been called for the Alliance Party (who also seem to have dropped off the key)

Northern Ireland holding the balance of power, interesting. We'll have to see how the DUP do - in a best case scenario they'll have eleven MPs to bargain with (the eight incumbents, the FST and Belfast East unity candidates and Belfast South in things go very well for the DUP and if the Sinn...

Well I suppose I might as well give it a go: Labour: 276 Conservative: 270 Liberal Democrat: 59 UKIP: 11 Green: 3 SNP: 7 Plaid Cymru: 4 IKHH: 1 Speaker: 1 And on the Northern Irish seats I'd expect them to stay as they are. Without a serious attempt at Unionist unity coming together or...

I'm glad to hear that - I wasn't too sure that area had turned out as well as I'd hoped. Initially I had intended to have similarly confused situations between Britain and France in West Africa and between Germany, France and Egypt/Ouaddai in OTL Chad, but my attempts there didn't turn out too...
