  1. Map Thread XXII

    Sorry, I missed this earlier. Year Zero is meant to be the date of initial colonization of the planet, which continued for ~100-200 years before the collapse of modern civilization. One of the concepts I'm playing with here is that the terraforming process is continuing naturally after the...

    See also: Negusate of Tzarfat As before, narrative prose is not my usual style, so please let me know if you all have suggestions for improvement. The below is not necessary to understand the concept of the map - it's just a fun experiment, so feel free to TL;DR.

    For some ancient history: The Highland Paths of the Caprisian Wars For the stuff of myth and legend: The reunified Soviet Union in exile, 2312 Xanthe is one of the oldest-inhabited regions of Mars, with archeological evidence suggesting it was colonized directly from Earth - though this...

    It's meant to imply Fritz, like Smathers, made it to exile in the U.S., but I agree this isn't super clear.

  5. Map Thread XXII

    Apologies - I foresaw these questions would come up when I changed those details and wrote a second comment on the original Reddit thread but forgot to xpost here. Here it is: Why is the CSA only the Deep South? This was the CSA before the call-up of troops in the ACW which led directly to...

    It started with a dream. A moderate one, really - a measure to just elimimate the most intolerable and internationally-embarassing consequences of Dixie race politics. Enforcement of lynching bans, if not a true guarantee of equal rights under the law. Requiring businesses over a certain size...

    From Horne, the fall of Paris: This implies the initial Prussian demand for Alsace-Lorraine extended somewhat further West, though I haven't been able to trace back the origin of this fact.

    Thank you for this information! Indeed my source maps were incorrect. I will make corrections and re-upload when I return to office.

    Threadmarks: Central Europe, 1815

    Central Europe, 1815 - German Confederation plus Italy and Poland Derived in part from CensusMosaic and GeoLahra files linked in the main post, in part through the same old fiddly georeferencing and tracing. The German statelets were more in flux in this period than you might think, and if...

    By mid-1918, the position for the continental Entente powers was desperate, despite the string of American victories across the Atlantic. The Germans were winding down an offensive which had brought their armies within kilometers of Paris, and the French army had nearly reached its breaking...

    Threadmarks: Rumelia, 1880s

    Rumelia, 1880s So called because it includes Ottoman sanjaks but also other things, and with the state of the sources I can't pin it to a specific year. There is a notes field with explanations. The work of digitizing Ottoman provinces is an absolute PITA because of low quality contemporary...

    Thank you! It's the Duchy of Provence, recently victorious in their guerilla war of independence against the Huangdi of Rum, minus the letters P and V :p. The borders in the Rhone river valley remain in dispute, and will remain so until ICJ factfinders on the ground complete their mission and...

    Thank you! The idea behind that is that the name comes from a neighboring group, like how our word for the country which calls itself Druk Yul is the Nepalese Bhutan. As you saw, 'Frangistan' is Europe as a whole, and I was unable to find a more appropriate exonym, but historical accidents...

    I'm glad you like it! Sort of, but this isn't an alternate present; it literally takes place in our OTL 11th century. I wanted to show OTL development agencies dealing with the grinding poverty of the actual Middle Ages, which was in many ways worse than the poorest and most destitute areas on...

    Different parts of the map are shown at different scales to fit in all the points in New England and Michigan. Behind the scenes, this is indeed 3 separate maps stitched together.

  19. Map of the Fortnight 281: Valedictorian

    The 1920 Treaty of Whitehall was one of the most traumatic moments in American history - a near-total capitulation, brought on by blockade and invasion following the defeat of its European allies. The percieved vindictive and unfair nature of the treaty was a huge motivator in the growth of...

    The Galactic Election of 1016-7, as published in the Galactic Times of Alarosa The Mid Rim world of Alarosa is far, far away from the glittering lights and political drama of Coruscant. Its distance from well-charted hyperspace routes and its magnetosphere's hostility to non-hardened...
