I'll admit it's pretty ASB, but that's not what makes it a shitpost.

From an ATL in which Hitler is less willing to go to war in 1939 and Poland is willing to give in to territorial demands, leading to a Munich-like agreement in which Germany and its allies partition only parts of Poland, leaving the majority intact. The result is the annexation of the Polish...

I use Inkscape for most serious maps, Paint.net if I'm using the worlda or Qbam as a base, and MS paint mostly for just sketching out ideas and random doodling.

Look at New Hampshire and Vermont...

I apologize for how late my response to this was. Venusian Si described Quechua-speaking revolutionaries (possibly led by descendants of Inca nobility?) establishing an empire shortly after independence, which I think is an interesting idea. To expand on that, the Emperor would have initially...

I love everything here! Especially your ideas for Peru and New Cyrmu. Having been under the assumption that Klein-Venedig, Darien, Guajira, and probably some other states in northern and eastern Colombia were independent or at least distinct entities, I figured that what's left New Granada was...

To throw out more ideas about South America, since Spanish policies were to keep Nahuatl as a major regional language in Mexico, it seems likely that the same would be the case for Quechua in the Andean region. Perhaps with more other polities in South America, the Spanish colonies would be less...

In the spirit of avoiding territorial conflicts caused by material not being publicly posted, I'm posting a map and general history of Alta California that's been lying on my computer for far too long. I was planning to write more about its culture and present situation, but I procrastinated and...

The Nuova Toscana map is great work, but I agree that it having all of the Guiana region be Italian doesn't fully work with the theme of this world, especially given that there isn't much background for it. I realize that @False Dmitri already sort of dismissed this idea, but it makes a lot of...

Sure, showing water area isn't technically wrong, but it looks weird, what's the benefit of including it? Also, is it just me or is Texas smaller than normal?

This concept is based on an old Zompist article which suggests that one of the problems with the states is that they're the wrong size- to small to be a balance against the federal government and big business but too big to really be a local government, and suggests redrawing the state borders...

Found in a medical study on people who don't develop wisdom teeth. The percentages on the right are the rates of not developing wisdom teeth in each country. It's not just the quality of the map itself, but also the apparent randomness of the colors when they could have put them on the scale...

Depiction of the California gold rush features a slightly wanked America. Found in the Smithsonian Museum of American History. Really the best you can do?

Lots of great maps this round, but I have to go with @MoralisticCommunist for the uniqueness of the idea. You've pulled off a Sino-Soviet conflict in the Confederacy. And done it quite well too.

I tried India: How well can you name the states of Mexico?

I know all the states easily as an American. Here's my attempt at Russia:

Much different scales.

I get the impression that someone tried to combine maps that aren't on the same projection and/or scale.

Most of these are explainable as just attempts to make an OTL map with little effort into them, but the first one is just ridiculous. A really poor attempt at alternate history that somehow got mistaken for OTL? I can't think of any other explanation. And is that an Austria that includes none of...
