    I would say black borders between Commonwelath countries should be shown. I imagine the part in the map key about being full governing means they are independent, rather than the Commonwealth governing them. I also think all besides Rhodesia are labeled as republics explicitly to say they do not...

    What if Hasbro and Marvel merged in the 80s?

    Ahhh no, I didn’t mean they would specifically be competitors. I am unsure if Parker Bros made action figures, though apparently Kenner did. And yah, only so much money so Hasbro might find Marvel as a comparative liability. I am thinking like AOL Time Warner, where they had to give up certain...

    What if Hasbro and Marvel merged in the 80s?

    Might not be able to get a part of the DC action figure market here. We also need to look at Mattel and Parker Bros, as they, Hasbro, and Milton-Bradley would compete or edge with each other over time IOTL. Wonder if Hasbro tries for its own video game console or game publishing line.

    Huey Long is not assassinated, but does not become President. Effects?

    Which plan? His first plan was to purposely split the vote to cost FDR the election so Long could win the one after, though I am unsure if that plan was before or after he died. Apparently Huey also may not have been assassinated, but got shot when one of his bodyguards hit him when unloading...

    Didn’t a lot of that portion of Kazakhstan lost to them here get settled by Ukrainians, Germans, and Russians mostly during the Soviet era? Ahhh of course, a self insert. I suppose that answer the question I was having in how the Habsburgs swallowed up so many de factor countries within Germany...

    Soviet base on Bornholm? If they have the other islands directly a part of Soviet territory, they may not even need that island. Doing what they did IOTL where they got it agreed that Danes would be the only troops on the island worked quite well for them. Evacuating Bornholm might be part of...

    @Zurirach Adankar I believe the Danes would not go along with this arrangement. Partially because they theoretically cannot give up Bornholm(though only if people regard the islanders giving the island back to Denmark so long as they were never ceded away binding, versus the treaty the Swedes...

    Cultural Effects of Total Western Colonization

    There is a great difference there and making everyone think a country is European. Even if the locals or colonists believed themselves to be European, they still might be considered second class citizens by those in Europe, such as with the Spanish keeping top jobs to Peninsulares or how the...

    Cultural Effects of Total Western Colonization

    Not happening. Russians were barely considered White for the longest of times, same with Celts. In Spain you have from the very beginning where anyone with a single Jewish or Muslim ancestor was considered the lowest socially and could not become priests, nuns, or government officials. You can...

    Hmmm, not often in these maps where it ends up with just the Austrians and Slovenians in the same state that they don’t cut Styria in two. Slovene an official language in that state? odd. Why did Baden, Wurttemberg, and other states in Germany apparently lose their independence, let...

    Bit off with Palestine, though. I know both Syria and Egypt would have been happy for a bit of extra land, but not the entire country. Especially given they had hundreds of thousands of Palestinians to be taken care of.

    Couple problems even if San Diego would possibly have been sunk here, I expect the name of the mission would still be used here instead of Imperial. Mexicali and Tijuana seem to be in opposite sides from where the cities are in relationship to each other. Mexicali certainly wouldn’t be a name...

    Lovely map. However, back then the British did not claim Rockall and you left out Hong Kong. And don’t Mandates get their own colors or borders? Can’t quite recall. The British use so many to usually confuse the issue. For instance, not sure how officially in their orbit Nepal was and if you...

    @Bob Hope you will want to add Ravensburg to Jülich-Berg in this map. And possibly the last one. I am also unsure if the borders colored for Denmark, Schleswig, and Holstein would be as clear here as I read that they were pretty cut up and spread about because the locals wanted them to be so...

    Is there a way to unite Germany early before 1871?

    Go with the Confederation of the Rhine and unify it perhaps. And reclassify everything outside as not being German. Perhaps not too hard. Only when the Prussians moved into some areas of the Rhine and pushed their own version of German that the people there stopped speaking Dutch.

    Wank the Russian Federation

    Go back to true socialist values. Stuff like the cooperative farms and workshops in the early USSR. As soon as they were successful, the Soviets reclassified them, nationalized them, and took all the savings and profits. Basically prevent everything from being sold off too cheaply to the former...

    Yes, I suppose it would vary a lot. In the one of the Cambridge Historical Atlas they needed two maps to show it at different times. Still, after the Cologne War you get Liege, Munster, Westphalia, Cologne, and several other places all under one guy. It is a useful way to show alliances on maps...

    A brave thing. Perhaps afterwards you could try a maps showing the Wittlesbasch, Wettin, and Habsburg control over the appointments of Prince-Bishoprics.
