Shredder, your idea is hilariously insane.

Because not all of them could. Look at the New England states for example. Continued expansion of current states would have favorited the already bigger southern states. There is also the fact that western settlers probably had little interest in being ruled from the coast. Their interests...

Screw gender. I speak French and I hate grammatical gender. Also, what gender is applied to what depends on the language, so I doubt that'd help.

I'm with funnyhat on this one. Bring back thee and thou. At the very least, it would help people learn other languages with it like the romance and Germanic languages.

Well crap, those are three awesome maps back to back.:D To Goldstein, I am always a sucker for that kind of early science fiction and a world based upon the works made by Verne and Wells. Awesome stuff! And also, that other map you made is wonderfully dystopic. I like it. Speaking of...

Good god, look at the necromancy!

I don't know. I think my idea fits the OPs request, just a little later than 19th century.

Originally, the desire among Canada's founding fathers was to name Canada "The Kingdom of Canada." However, it was nixed by the British colonial office for being in some ways deemed presumptuous but more importantly, it might offend American sensibilities. America had just come out of its...

Bumped to get a response. If Havana fell into British hands, they`d be much more capable of sustaining their fleet, though their troops would probably still get decimate from disease. How able would they be to seize other Spanish ports. Portobello fell to the British already in the war...

So, reading about forgotten/unappreciated people in another thread, I came across the utter disaster/crushing victory that was the Battle of Cartagena de Indias. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Cartagena_de_Indias I mean, the Spanish under Admiral Blas de Lezo crushed the British...

Named after the admiral I presume?

Actually, the Emperor/empress did designate their successor in Russia at this time. They just didn't always make it stick after their deaths, hence the era of palace coups. Russia followed the Peter's succession rules, which basically said that the Emperor picks their successor. Or at least...

Nice map:) However, I have a problem with the scenario that Korra should have lived much longer than 60 years. Avatar Aang only lived into his sixties because he froze himself for a century. This was even stated by the creators. Avatar Kiyoshi lived to be past 200. If anything...

Actually, yah, why not avoid the Miracle of the house of Brandenburg? Have Empress Elizabeth live longer to see the war through to the end and have her annex East Prussia. That was planned. Austria regains Silesia and Prussia is crippled and Frederick the Great has committed suicide. Then...

I agree that the three black eagles need to be stopped, along with the French revolutionary scare. I was always curious on what the effects would be of a French victory in the 7 years war. Not only might it butterfly or delay the French revolution, giving Stanislaw more time to work and...

I am rather excited to see my hometown show up in Male Rising. Well, the north shore reserve anyway. Me being South Shore and all. So is Kamloops still a city then? Just the non reserve part. It was built on the rails so I assume so. What is the extent of this world's tk'emlups? Is...

I think he meant Spain adopting Muslim policies which led to conversions such as the jizya tax.

Whoa! That map is way awesome Bruce!

Thank you. The Latvian border was a relatively late addition to the map actually. Originally I was just going to give the Commonwealth historical courland but then opted to give it Polish Livonia, and then in the end, the rest of Latvia. It is the least thought out part of the map I...

Any comments on my map?
