Which parts of New York? Might upset the Irish or Italians if parts of their diasporas get blown up. I imagine the main targets are just going to be dockyards? Lmost seems easier for them to have went with another Black Tom.

Indeed. Who mistakes Abu Dhabi for Dubai?

I use an iPad, which means I am unable to do some things. I suppose I assumed the site was like Pinterest, in which they lower the resolution of all the pics put on it. For the area in Malaysia, I was thinking less about WWII, and more when they originally accepted the British controlling them...

A shame it is on Imgur. Never can seem to zoom in on stuff with that, as I am curious to see the text and the story behind the border with Malaysia. I figure the Thai might have kept one or more of the Unfederated Malay States they gave up claims to sovereignty or hegemony there. Ahh never mind...

Huh. Form this map I realized Argentina must use the South Georgia and South Sandwich Islands as the base for much of their claims in Antarctica.

@drizel Does Thailand ever come into play? They did occupy quite a bit of the north, so did they leave there rather swifter than the British expected? I recall bringing up my confusion for a map on here of how the Thai retained either the land annexed from Malaya or Burma, and how the maker saw...

Fairly obvious. What kind of a map doesn’t give Italy Trieste?

The Italians will probably play second fiddle when it comes to Entente shipping in the Suez Canal, and I expect many countries will be somewhat wary of the Italian navy going out and about. Hmmm, I am wondering if Italy had the munition industry necessary for an invade. Probably so, but they...

What a hassle the Channel Union must have when it comes to flags. If only the French had a white cross with blue quarters for their flag they would fit right in. What is the story behind Central America, with Colombian Panama on one hand, a united Central America on the other, plus the...

Could you link to the site where you found this map? Assuming you didn’t make it. And are you asking more about the internal borders or external? I don’t know how straight they are trying to be with borders, but it looks like they made a mistake in the long area near OK as it does not follow...

For those wondering about the Mohammedans thing, the original map specifies Turks and Pomaks.

I expect they would attempt to keep control over the Danube and exports, which will somewhat fail given how most of their neighbors have coasts. Depends how large we are considering Banat here.

I wonder if it would lead to people seeing it as a a tool of foreigners and go with the Tuscan originated stuff that became modern Italian. Also, would this be for the Kingdom of Venetia-Lombardy, for Venetia after giving up Lombardy, or for Italian areas in the empire as well? I imagine they...

Indeed, the Soviets got Kaliningrad under the idea that I would be a port for them, with some polite fiction or assumptions about the Baltics not being swallowed up by the Soviets again or Poland being their puppet. I also am thinking that at various points annexing Mongolia would seem like the...

Texas has lost land from their original republic, let alone the claimed border at the Rio Grande, while the Territories of New Mexico, Colorado, and Indian are all partially north of the line set by the Missouri. Ompromise, and thus would not be allowed Slavery, or at least would be enough of...

Meaning everyone has to learn a new language, rather than a part of the very few people who would be chosen for an international conference who didn’t know English, French, or German.

Keep in mind that the creator wanted this as an international second language. Thus everyone should be able to retain whatever languages they currently have as well. If they all begin just to speak Esperanto with each other at home or at conferences... Ohhh, imagine how the inspiration theories...

The Prussians could have kept Brunswick if they wanted it. They gave it up because the son of the claimant married the Kaiser’s only daughter and renounced his claims to Hanover. That, and it was surrounded by Prussian land. Alsace-Lorraine belonged to the German Empire as a unit and it might...

You would probably want to go with Kingdom of Hungary. Using Crown usually suggests a lot of large polities with independent governing structures. Basically meaning a hole lot of personal union. There had to be something like ten separate titles of king in Iberia. Something to keep n mind for...

When Czechoslovakia split, both half’s agreed to not use any national symbols of the country. The Czechs used the flag anyways. I feel that the UK would have had the flag long enough as well as being the rump and majority of the country, so can keep it without complaint. Could use the Cezk...
