Wonder how unstable the situation in the Confederation of the Rhine is.
Map Thread XXII
- Thread starter Balkanized U.S.A
- Start date
Very handsome map, but aside from maybe Swedish Pomerania, I don't see anything gained by Prussia vs OTL 1812 borders, and I'm not spotting any Russian gains, either.
PoD for that is 1940s where the Iron Curtain in the Balkans is slightly further east and south and AH is reunified by Otto with the support of Britain and France to be a strong central European buffer between the two blocs.
For Prussia it was Swedish Pomerania, for Russia now that I think about yeah they didn't gain anything. I probably should have had both of them expand even further into Poland and the Confederation of Rhine.

Good luck getting Tito and the Yugoslavs (with Soviet backing) to let that happen
Posting my contribution to the recent Telephone Map Game, featuring what's left of the Roman Republic after the Sertorian War and Third Servile Revolt go much more poorly for it:
A different French Revolution meant that France ended up with Louisiana as well as other Spanish colonies like Santo Domingo (Cuba was acquired later). However, with further internal turmoil in France and an attempt to reimpose slavery in the colonies, sometime in the late ninteenth century the colonies voted to declare their independence as the Confederated Republic of Marianna with assistance of the Royal Navy. Haiti originally went its own way, but its history is sad as always.
Really, the French government is more than happy with the arrangement; it's a very Canada-esque situation that most in politics saw coming from a mile away as the mainland grew more heavily populated, especially as non-French immigrants flooded into the Great Plains.
Tito (and any other Yugoslavian government) and Soviet Union never would accept that.
And how did Canada get Alaska?
There's actually not much lore for the map that I've developed but I'll say that Tito died during the war and a better performance by the UK and France resulted in Croatia and Bosnia being firmly in the western sphere.
Alaska was sold to Canada by the US after the rather poorly thought out Second Pacific War (with the Chinese vs the Americans and Japanese) turned into a second Vietnam and ended up bankrupting the USA.
I've been thinking about a France that gets unified in the 19th century much like Germany/ Italy.
I'd done a short mini-map series about a France partitioned à la Poland at the end of the XVIIIth reunifying during a period of volatile wars in the early XXth
Cross posting as well from Telephone Map Game 13th Edition
The map i received was a religious map of Eurasia and parts of North Africa. I saw that the region of the Eastern Roman Empire was protestant and so drew a map based off of the spread of protestantism in the Romantine Empire.
The Romantine Empire was my interpretation of the Holy Roman Empire, plus a great wall of Rome to keep the pesky Bulgars out. Which in the next map after me made by @Epsilon Tauri ironically saw the Bulgars conquer the Romantine Empire.
Just call it Brandenburg, having "Prussia" and East Prussia (with the former not being West Prussia, which presumably is a part of Poland) doesn't make much sense.
I understand reasoning for getting rid of the overall Prussia to make Prussian provinces into German states, and some annexations and border changes happening does make sense. But this still somewhat feels like too much of a divorce from original Weimar states rather than a really believable evolution of them, atleast in my opinion.
Why Euromark anyway?
I like your reasoning, I and i'll definitely consider it.
There was significant state reform in the 1990s, after the Prussian socialist dominance ended, which led to the decline of Prussia and its breakup.
The EuroMark is a product of a more German-Centric EU. (The Netherlands, Luxembourg, Belgium, Austria, Switzerland,Poland, Czechoslovakia)
Or possibly take it off the map altogether. Given that it is entirely surrounded by French enemies, for Poland to continue to exist as anything other than a Russian or Austrian puppet, France needs to Win A Lot.
