The UK lost against and was occupied by a coalition of other european powers (the problem of being as isolationist and dickish as the OTL UK without having the foresight to be on an island), and the pacific empire ended up getting run from Azca for a few years. When things swung back in Europe...

The Adourans aren't that keen on it either, but they are between a literal rock and a hard place sandwiched between two great and rather hostile powers, and having English regiments stationed on their soil is a great comfort. The pale blue nation is the Adamintine Republic (its right at the...

Entirely intentional! Yes, the post mongol vacuum saw migrating Danes, Goths, Wends and Ilvsdeutsche follow the valuable piedmonts all the way across the continent. Religiosu ferveur and competing powers tied their indentity back to the baltic. The Little Cape is a Fryish holding, which...

Seeing where these map challenge went in the 20th century, in style homage to B_Munro ;) 1 - A quiet agricultural area, economic powerhouse seems unlikely in such a random area don't you think? 2 - Pacific Azca, Workbench of the Imperial Republic 3 - Redneck Scots, low standard of living...
