Interesting... So less a war of independence for the Confederates, and more of two rival American governments trying to assert their dominance over all the United States?

In Hungary, "Kosice" should be called Kaschau if you want to stick to German names, otherwise it should be called Kassa, and Preßburg should be called Pozsony.
On another note, I would consider adding in Temeschwar/Temesvár and/or Kronstadt/Brassó as destinations.

how did I miss Kaschau, Thanks. Possibly the Kronstadt just outside St Petersburg would be also worth including.
Alpine Slavs and the Duchy of the Wends

The settlement of the Eastern Alps region by early Slavs took place during the 6th to 8th centuries. It is part of the southward expansion of the early Slavs which would result in the characterization of the South Slavic group, and would ultimately result in the ethnogenesis of present-day Slovenes. The Eastern Alpine territories concerned comprise modern-day Slovenia, Eastern Friuli and large parts of modern-day Austria.

The Emperor only has direct rule over the Imperial Kingdom.
The sub-kingdoms like Viet, Champa, Kerayit and Dali are ruled by monarchs that are subordinate to the emperor, while the remaining three (Jin, Song, and Xi Xia) are ruled by a so-called "Chamber of Princes" basically an electorate of nobles that vote on the Governor, only candidates that have been approved by the Emperor. These three have less autonomy than the rest
A horribly, horrendously and haphazardly balkanised Latin America
including historical rebellions and break away states! (Working on labels, criticism highly appreciated)
This is what nightmares are made of. Good map that is also terrifying.
I take it sans Mongols, the Russia-equivalent ended up centered around Kyiv and not the heartland of the Principality of Vladimir-Suzdal like OTL?
It's a cover of a great scenario by @Mumby about the successful assassination of the Big Three in Tehran link. I'll also leave the original text below in case you don't have an AH.com account.

The World of Tomorrow
Nazis led by Otto Skorzeny successfully assassinated Churchill, Stalin and Roosevelt, but it was too late in the war to save them. However, the leadership of the three Allied Powers was radically altered, leading to a more conciliatory tone at ensuing peace conferences and in the Post-War. The Cold War never really got going, instead the Big Bad was the threat of International Nazism. The Werwulf programme was more successful, and Germany ended up being permanently divided and under military rule for a while longer. Nazis ended up going overseas and causing all sorts of trouble, helping the more disaffected colonial powers keep a hold on their colonies, or helping the white minority in decolonised states retain a grip on the reins of power. They were notably successful in installing 'crypto-fascist' regimes in the Middle East, Latin America and Southeast Asia.
While these were international concerns, it was nothing new in the experience of those places, and the regimes in question were usually careful to couch their governments in terms which made them acceptable. The 1950s and early-to-mid 1960s are looked back upon as a Golden Age of Progress and Prosperity as the world seemed united in purpose. Atomic power was used for peace, not war, with many geoengineering projects planned to bring prosperity to arid and uncultivated regions of the globe. International cooperation saw humanity fling herself forward with a will, and a friendly Space Race took place between the US and the USSR. [This culimated in the 1964-65 New York World's Fair, at which a coalition of scientists, philosophers and engineers from across the world's Great Powers unveiled plans for the City of Tomorrow. It was to be an autonomous, international community, dreaming and building the technologies and ideas of the future. It was built rapidly over the late 1960s, and launched (it was a flying city, to ensure it was truly international) in 1969.]
But those later years of the 1960s were plagued by a rise in tensions within nations and across the world. America's streets were fought over by white supremacist and black civil rights protestors. In Europe, fascists and communists clashed once more while the Soviet satellites of Eastern Europe threatened to break away. In 1969, the Zeus-12 rocket that was to carry a crew of Americans and Soviets to land on the Moon was destroyed by Nazi terrorists. The Golden Age was ending.
The organisation that claimed responsibility for the destruction of Zeus-12 was a Latin American based organisation called ODESSA, headed by the same man who had assassinated the Allied leaders in 1945. They threatened to destroy the City of Tomorrow, to demonstrate the weakness and folly of the 'Judaeo-Bolshevik World Order'. With that threat, the City disappeared, and with it the last gilt edges of the Golden Age. There was a building reaction against the Establishment which had controlled social and cultural mores since WWII. In 1970, a new Soviet leadership violently reasserted control of Eastern Europe, leading to condemnation from the west. By 1973, the Cold War was in full swing. The Chinese Civil War, long postponed by the Soviet-American sponsored Unity Administration of the KMT and the CCP, broke apart once more. While the rise of the ideological world conflict led to the overthrow of many crypto-fascist regimes, it encouraged many more as both sides cast about for a friendly face in regions across the globe, like the Americans backing the white minority states of southern and eastern Africa against Red Kongo, or the Soviets helping out the 'Anti-Capitalist National Liberation Front' of Southeast Asia against French Cambodia and American-backed Indonesia.
Just as the global situation worsened, so did the environment. There was a series of messy atomic disasters, in both superpowers which caused widespread condemnation of the power source. Geoengineering projects had unforeseen side effects leading to the desertification of Central Asia and the American Southwest, [and most notoriously the flooding of much of the Mediterranean]. The test launch of an Orion rocket in Australia led to the irradiation of a lot of the outback. The well-funded scientific institutions of the 1950s and 60s were now turned toward devising new weapons, and renegade scientists found they often had greater freedom in their work and got paid more if they hired themselves out to some of the more unscrupulous governments around the world.
The end of nuclear power as the fuel supply of the future led to a rise in consumption of fossil fuels and the assent of the Middle East as a bloc of oil-producing powers. Linked to the crypto-fascist network of ODESSA, the Middle East has exerted disproportionate influence on the world due to it's dominance of the fuel supply. Anyway, an alternate version of the oil embargo takes place in the 80s as a detente breaks out between East and West, and they try to unseat the more unpleasant crypto-fascists. This worsens matters economically around the world, with coal becoming the fuel source of choice for many states, with all the nasty effects that that implies.
Anyway, Argentina tries to get the Falklands in the mid-80s and the British fight back, but the Americans apply lots of pressure to find peace which doesn't go down well. Argentina's junta collapses, and while British advisors try and build a stable parliamentary democracy in Buenos Aires, in the countryside, Werwulf cells seize control of much of the country. Violence spills over the borders into Chile, Paraguay, and Uruguay. But the early 90s, a swathe of South America is essentially ruled by the self-acclaimed Fourth Reich. Chile is dangerously close to collapsing completely and Bolivia and Paraguay hardly look much safer. Most of Argentina has already gone, and Patagonia is pretty much under British occupation. Britain and America bicker with one another about the Monroe Doctrine, while the USSR and China argue about coal and minerals.
An isolationist government comes to power in America, and slashes at military spending and foreign aid, withdrawing to the Western Hemisphere. But this doesn't concede everything to the Soviets, as they too are overstretched by military spending and can only just hold their own country together. The Fourth Reich in Latin America is clandestinely supported by the Integralist dictatorship of Brazil, the elimination of Argentina and her alliance with isolationist America now making her the dominant power in South America. She has an alliance with the 'Burden' the alliance of white minority dictatorships in Southern and Eastern Africa. While America withdraws back to it's pre-WW2 sphere of influence, Britain tries to take up the slack and is desperately trying to form an international coalition to fight fascism but isn't having much luck. Much of Europe is in a poor state economically [ever since the Mediterranean Deluge], and has little to spare to go on foreign adventures. France is genuinely terrified that Germany might have a go at Round Three. Baathist fascism has united much of the Middle East, while the Saudis and Iranians are awkward outsiders, with the latter being a Soviet ally. There is a Third World Alliance led by India, trying to forge an independent path away from Capitalism, Communism or Crypto-Fascism, but her reach is weak. She is challenged by the crypto-fascist states of southeast Asia, and the Black Socialist states of western and central Africa.
Global warming, pollution, desertification, man made disasters have ruined this world more than any war that has been fought. Solutions have been mooted, but there is a general distrust of big geoengineering projects. After all, that's part of what got them into this problem. There are scientists who have taken the resources given to them by unpleasant dictators or government agencies and gone freelance, trying to find the scientific solutions to dwindling fuel supplies, and a wounded planet.
[Somewhere out there, is the City of Tomorrow. Around the world, there are those who would take it as their own. Agents of the Fourth Reich believe they could use it's advanced technologies to conquer the world. Renegade US generals think they could use it to defeat America's enemies. Bright-eyed scientists believe that it might just save us.]
What is the Ruthenian Empire like compared to OTL's Russian Empire during this same period? Would Novgorod be a Ukraine/Belarus equivalent to this Ruthenia's alt-Russia?

I wanted to ask you a question, how do you manage to match the Worlda borders with the MicroWorlda borders on your maps?
I actually based the map off of this page, which simulates biomes at different planetary temperatures. I know I’m a little late responding to this, but I wanted to share because it’s a super cool resource!
