    It seems to be quite a common symbol in online clipart/similar collections - search for 'heart handshake' or something like that and there's lots of them.

    The Last Opportunity to Adopt Base 12 System?

    Having just caught up in this thread again, I don't think there's as much disagreement among the various posters as it at first appears. The problem is that 'adopt a base-12 system' can mean different things: 1. Change the way in which numbers are written, with 12 different symbols instead of...

    The Last Opportunity to Adopt Base 12 System?

    It's not completely implausible to have base-12 being the standard, but the PoD would have to be a very long time ago and need to be something major. Almost every numerical system known of in history is decimal, when looking at the symbols used (in other words, in non-positional systems there is...

    Feel free to ask - that's what this thread is for :) . I can't guarantee anyone will take up your request (I'm not a map-maker, so I certainly won't, sorry), but someone might.

    How's this? (click the thumbnail for the full-size image) Two slight differences from your request: I gave the eagle a crown proper instead of or, as I didn't think just or looked very good; and the bear supporters are not guardant, but facing inward as shown in the picture you included...

    I still had the files from your previous request, so this didn't take long. Here you are: (as always, click the thumbnail for the full-size image) I took the opportunity to tidy up the right-hand edge of the helm too, making it go behind the shield as it should. :) Hope that's what you wanted.

    Here you are, sorry it took a while. (click the thumbnail for the full-size image) I couldn't find a good komodo dragon to turn into a supporter, so I went with a bull (banteng) instead. Here's the flag by @The Professor with the CoA inserted: (again, click the thumbnail for the full-size...

    Civilitatem Resurrectio ~ A Pangea Proxima Worldbuilding Project

    This brings to mind both 'The Road to the Sea' and 'Against the Fall of Night' by the late, great Arthur C. Clarke. Both have remnants of civilisation thousands/millions of years in the future and both end with involvement of interstellar humanity (albeit in very different forms). So perhaps...

    "If They Want It They Can Have It": Ulster's Tragedy.

    Below is slightly adapted from a post I made many years ago in a discussion about terrorism - much of it is pertinent here: While there are still people railing against 'the system' which stops them having the things they believe they're entitled to (whether that's correct or not), there will be...

    Return of Horrible Educational Maps

    Everyone, can we please calm this down a bit? There are rights and wrongs on both sides of this argument discussion, as there are in almost all discussions. If you want to continue this, can you please do so in a Chat thread, rather than here? Thank you.

    I've had a look at your original request (I was busy with a ton of others when it was posted, so didn't respond at the time). Here's some ideas: on the shield the sword from the Batavian CoA (or maybe a keris/kris?) with the wreath from around the Surakarta CoA and with the Hamengkubuwono...

    Is there a reason you have the Union Flag upside down (or left-right mirrored)?

    "If They Want It They Can Have It": Ulster's Tragedy.

    I'm not sure really how bad the situation in NI actually is right now ITTL. Yes there are paramilitaries on the streets: and there must be some truth behind Lynch's statement: but I haven't seen anything in the TL posts about mass killings actually happening or anything which implies the...

    "If They Want It They Can Have It": Ulster's Tragedy.

    @nezza I seem to remember reading an earlier version of this from you some time ago which I enjoyed - and this is just as good, thank you. Edit: this was it, for anyone interested - a bit later, with Harold Wilson as PM instead I agree with @CalBear about the training necessary for Special...

    Proposed 2018 UK Boundaries

    I see you already found the requests thread :) . You could also try asking in the OTL Election maps resources thread - someone there might have it already or have a better source.

    Again not blank, but maps of all the proposed constituencies are in the reports for each of the four nations: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/the-boundary-commissions-boundary-review-2018 There are a few good map-makers on this site (I'm not one though) who could make a blank map...

    Okay. Here's two options: one with the CoA smaller so that all three stripes are the same height as the CoA, one with the CoA the same size as before and the central stripe made narrower. (click the thumbnails for the full-size images) I think the second one's better and probably what you...
