The US would be no longer a player and probably also fractured (at least initially) due to literally losing the entire federal government all at once. Taking back la tierra robada would be a huge prestige move for any Mexican President looking to make a name for themselves. What's more, Cuba is...

So despite losing almost everything, no one makes a move on former American territory? Including Cuba on Gitmo??? That's just a tad optimistic for the United States.

By classical names, do you mean the names of pre-Colombian polities that existed in roughly the same geographical area? And are you looking for the names that the people called themselves, the names they gave to their polities, the names that Europeans called their polities, or something else?

Great fanon for a great webcomic

Oh no, to the contrary it's to natural economic advantage to span the river and communities would find common identity by virtue of their relationship to it more than anything. I just mean that "this side of the Mississippi" is a common saying meant to evoke the idea of the East/West side of the...

You've never heard the expression "this side of the Mississippi"?

A basemap that fits irregular allohistorical borders, with distinct portrayals of different sectarian areas of control? Those don't just pop up out of nowhere, that doesn't make any sense. Did you even ask for permission?

Not a direct analogue, but the militant and explicit religiosity of the QAnon conspiracy theory has occasionally brought the CV Party to mind, for me at least.

I don't even know where to begin observing all this khanage

When you lead a dominant national party and you're still not cool enough to hang out with the other corrupt candidates: (Jose Antonio Meade, PRI's candidate in the last election)

Very nice map, though the placement of the Romani Republic suggests that there may have been some confusion of the Roma with the Romanians

Boy, just tons of questions. First, what has happened in Europe? You mention that they began turning their backs on the US during the civil war, and given the liberalization of China and the USSR (and subsequent warming of relations between the big 3), is this still the case? I have to imagine...

Which is to say yes, you should be buried on the beach of Elba, so that lesser cartographers cannot steal your lovely maps and so great conquerors will escape before they can exploit your painstakingly intricate mapping of the Alps.

I love it. How did this come to be?

Well they clearly lost a bit of territory. If coloration is anything to go by, this is a Russia where the Czar managed to negotiate a new constitution that gives the Duma a good deal of control over the direction of the country. Which is to say, a Russia that has probably freed the serfs but has...

I don't really see it. France getting back Alsace-Lorraine isn't a gain in their eyes, it's a return to the norm and they wouldn't be satisfied with being forced to give up colonial land the size of their European territory to get it back. A stalemate would more likely involve Germany losing...

That's a huuuuuuuge victory for Germany and just Germany. France seems to have gotten completely rekt and AH seems to have collapsed completely with Hungary getting randomly screwed as well. Not to mention Russia seems to have avoided the USSR entirely?

Very cool. By the end of the 17th century, does a singular French cultural identity still exist in a meaningful way? What about language? In particular, what do the denizens of the Dual Monarchy speak? Is it sort of like Austria-Hungary in that there are French and there are English and they...

That still doesn't make any sense. The UN OTL can't solve the problems facing Africa nor prevent conflict between its constituent states so why would this ATL version, limited to Europe, be effective at keeping Africa under the jackboot? And furthermore, how exactly are they going to limit...

That's not really much of an answer. Even if we assume there is some grand, unified European federation, despite it not being shown on the map, why would this lead to Europe keeping its colonies, why would control of the African continent still be explicitly divided between countries, and why...
