  1. The Great Siberian Tangle: Who can own Siberia

    OTL, Moscow has held hegemony over Siberia since the 17th century. Before that, to the extent that anyone held a hegemony over Siberia, it was the Mongols. Before them, it was essentially fragmented. ATLs generally present Siberia as Moscow-run. The next most common seems to be either local...

  2. Hipkiss?

    Anyone know what happened to the hipkiss map archive? http://www.hipkiss.org/cgi-bin/maps.pl

  3. Let the Tail Wag the Dog: A Maltese wank

    A Timeline in Search of a map: What's the maximal extent for a democratic Maltese republic? Let the Tail Wag the Dog In 1530, Charles V of Spain granted Malta and Tripoli to the knights of St. John. They suffered a setback in 1540, when Henry VIII dis-established all their holdings in England...

  4. So which map should I do next?

    Something else? The map needs to be a reasonably complete world map, and should also have latitude and longitude reference points indicated. Ideally, it should demonstrate geography that is distinct from previous maps I've done, and distinct from what we know OTL to be the case...

  6. Wi ww2 occitania puppet state

    After France capitulates Hitler decides to declare France conquered and the free state of occitania liberated under german supervision. The French colonies are more likely to fight on. And this ww2 goes worse for Hitler. Who would be the likely quislings in this scenario? And in the...

  7. The k7e Project

    http://ashtagon.deviantart.com/art/K7-Water-NW-657641279 Part of my long term map making goal is to make a high resolution map of the world. I favour Kavraisky VII projection because the formula to determine what any given pixel is is really simple, so I can either use g.projector to make...

  8. Historical interactive map sites

    Where's the Path https://wtp2.appspot.com/wheresthepath.htm The most interesting historical map layers are "1930s OS" and "Historical OS" (this latter dates to around the 1950s). This site lets you compare two different UK maps of the same location side by side. Wikishire Map...

  9. KML maps and related things

    KML files are the things that Google Earth, Marble, and a few other mapping apps use to draw maps. I'm making this as a separate thread from the regular maps because the techniques and skill-sets involved are radically different. What I'm looking for a a kml file that will show latitude and...

  10. Anglo-American Unions?

    I'm doing some research for a map colour scheme, and I'm wondering just how common this ah trope really is. There are two fictional examples that are generally cited. Oceania (1984) is one, but as all the information comes from a variety of unreliable narrators, it is questionable whether that...

  11. X2 (Every Colour Scheme Ever Colour Scheme) Colour Scheme

    Deviantart link is here: (1.53 mb, 822 x 8321 pixels) link This is the colour scheme that I use for my (alternate) history maps. Each row's primary (3rd column) colour is unique. There may be some duplicates among darker and lighter shades. This is still a draft version. Rows where the...

  12. Contemplating new world map series

    Specifically, I'm thinking of generating maps in equirectangular, 3600x1800 pixels (so each pixel is exactly 0.1 degree of latitude and longitude). This projection makes it particularly easy to convert to other projections thanks to g.projector, and it also makes it easy to "eyeball" any...

  13. Real world enclaves

    http://www.economist.com/blogs/economist-explains/2015/06/economist-explains-19 THIS year marks a watershed in the annals of bizarre geography. On July 31st India and Bangladesh will exchange 162 parcels of land, each of which happens to lie on the wrong side of the Indo-Bangladesh border...

  14. AHC: Clegg's clever leadership move

    As we know, shortly after the 2010 general election, Clegg and Cameron entered into a coalition government. The amount of policies passed by each party and manifesto red lines each had to cross are the subject of debate. What is clear though is that this agreement caused LibDem support to...

  15. Tsar Abdul Abulbul Ameer?

    What would be necessary for the Turks to win in the Russo-Ottoman wars to the extent that the Russian Empire becomes a Turk-led one with Islam as the "official" (at least in a limited capacity) religion?

  16. Heraldry colour schemes

    This is an experiment in using Excel to organise my colour schemes. This particular section deals with heraldic colours. It should be borne in mind that there is no "official" rgb value for any of these. These particular values are drawn from screen shots. However, a coat of arms using other...

  17. dominion vs. protectorate (colour shading questions)

    Yes, it's a colour scheme thread. If you're a fan of the "use whatever colour you like" concept, his thread is not for you. Generally speaking, the darker ("dominion") shade is used for regions that have more local government freedom compared to the core state region, and the paler...

  18. Japanese aircraft development post-successful WW2

    In a timeline in which Japan establishes its "co-prosperity sphere" and isn't disarmed, are there any surprises in how their military technology would have developed? That is, would their development have paralleled equivalent OTL UK/US/Soviet developments, or was there something unusual going...

  19. Alternate name for Texas needed

    The PoD is that 40 years into a continuing Great Depression, Texas and four allied contiguous states secede from the union. I'm not sure what this new country could be called. I've seen Taysha (or Tejas) proposed, but that's so obviously a source word for "Texas" that the other states wouldn't...

  20. Alternate news broadcast (Diesel World)

    Just a little drabble that came to me for an AH I have titled Diesel. Names may change. Sarah Palin, MIP for Alaska, was once again in the news for her outspoken views on the aristocracy. According to reporters at a press conference in New Archangel, she has publicly called for the House of...
