...and here's the map!

Cross-posted from MotF 94... This one's going to be a two-parter, done in the esteemed Munroist "wall-off-text-then-map" style. It's a map of the Earth in a sci-fi setting I've been working on off and on since January. The most concise description I can think of is "the bastard biopunk...

*WARNING: WALL OF TEXT* This one's going to be a two-parter, done in the esteemed Munroist "wall-off-text-then-map" style. It's a map of the Earth in a sci-fi setting I've been working on off and on since January. The most concise description I can think of is "the bastard biopunk lovechild of...

If you can manage that, that'll be fine too.

Okay, this one might be pretty hard, so I'll understand if you don't take it. Regardless, I think it would be interesting to explore. So... Your challenge (should you choose to accept it) is to find a way that some segment of the region normally considered "Polynesia" is able to modernize...

Ew. Vacuum your carpets first, please. :mad::p

Ooh, sounds fun. Count me in.

The rivers didn't help much. As I recall the December ice was too thick for the firemen to break through.

Seems like NATO comes out the loser in that one, seeing how Czechoslovakia is basically a giant, vaguely penis-shaped salient into the heart of the Warsaw Pact, has a much smaller population and economy, and has almost no strategic value.

The world would be spared a great many nasty dictators, but that may not mean much. Some other school will rise up and fill the void of left-wing economic thought. Perhaps something resembling a more lefty Fascism, with an emphasis on the State supporting the People as opposed to the Corrupt...

Trust me, I know all about it. Oy...

What? That's like basic civics. A court system isn't supposed to be weighted in such a way that information other than material facts have any bearing on a ruling.

Wouldn't using hot air instead of hydrogen help somewhat? Then a steam engine could pull double-duty--providing lifting gas (heated air) and forward thrust.

Every libertarian and anarchist in the US would be arrested within five years. Not through political repression, but just because the court system couldn't handle so many frivolous lawsuits. :D In all seriousness, I don't see much changing. After all, isn't the whole point of a court system...

Oooh, burn. Kind of interesting to see two island naval empires go to war, though.

I do find the idea of a peninsula(?) named Urg rather funny.

I don't know your timeline, but this war seems rather, ah...uneven.

Finding some way to butterfly the Trail of Tears would probably help improve the US' attitudes towards the American Indians. Exactly how much, I don't really know.

What's the longest you'd see a Shining Path regime lasting before someone (most likely the US) intervenes? I'd give it five years.
