Neat! So will India have the same borders as it did OTL or are you gonna make it even rajier?

Here's something I did that fell to the wayside. It was mostly a project of spiltting countries in 2 and rationalizing it into a TL. I lost interest but managed to learn a few things about mapping along the way.

You asked, I will soon deliver. The world of 1940 British Empire to a Virgin Earth, 300 years on, 100 years after the first map I posted a few pages ago.
India? More like WINdia
Well, here's a major landmark: The worldraj has finally reached India.
*Just have a perfectly normal unified India*
Looks awesome! I'm curious how you decide who gets to be a province, protectorate, or autonomous vassal. Since the provinces are presumably the most British in the scenario, are these meant to be the lands that the British would consider most valuable?

Worldraj British India should be OTL British India to have at least some normalcy
Wonderful. Remind me: does this WorldRaj have some sort of all-Empire parliament? If so, are just full Kingdoms (and Britain itself, of course) sending representatives?

Or India is the one region of the globe _not_ part of the Worldraj.
I'm internally debating on what Antarctica will be like. One part of me is saying "it will be one colour", the other is saying "That would be way too easy."
Every OTL country's overlapping claim is given status as an autonomous province of the empire so the various research stations are too busy fighting amongst each other for territory and status to unite against the worldraj.I'm internally debating on what Antarctica will be like.

Oh I'll get that later. It's the Emirate (IIRC) of Hormuz.
Probably move on into India.
Can you imagine how balkanised India would be under this system?
Unless...it ends up being exactly the same.
Different borders to OTL of course. You should notice that Afghanistan already incorporates OTL overlordship territories in the Northwest Frontier and Baluchistan.
A lot of it is based on what I can find for what protectorates might actually exist, then working backwards. So for example in Central Asia I'd found the information on the Kazakh divisions and the southern Khanates, then it's a pretty logical thing to go 'well these were the areas in Kazakhstan that were settled by non Kazakhs, so lets have those as a set of garrison towns, and Samarkhand and the Ferghana was both the most fertile area and the area that tends to have ended up being fought over and was a direct Russian province, so lets have that as a full province, and then the Tajiks and Kyrgyz aren't organised enough for full protectorates, but a degree of autonomy makes sense.'
I have a vague notion that it does and there's various interlocking layers, but I'd need to really get things down on paper before definitively answering.

Penguin protectorates of course.

Cool, but the only thing is it's anti aliased, so it kinda can't really be used. Unless that's exactly how you want it to be.Well, here's a major landmark: The worldraj has finally reached India.

I have no idea how that happened.
Fortunately doing the key along the way means it's not actually an issue.
