  1. Map Thread XXII

    Great map! Looks a lot like a map of French counties, though - there are potential tiny Free Cities in Champagne, Flanders etc. Imperial cities OTL were sometimes absolutely tiny and found in clusters like the Swabian cities or the Decapole. Oh, and for more a cluttered mess you can have...
  2. AHC: most powerful landlocked state possible.

    Austrian empire sans Dalmatian coastline in PU over Poland without Prussian coastline and/ or Bavaria. Largest country in Europe after Russia, good farmland in Pannonia and great rivers in Danube, Oder, Vistula. Central Asian state with Tarim basin, Afganistan and western Pakistan. Silk Road...
  3. Is the decline of Latin America inevitable? A comment on geography

    The region is not amazing in terms of mineral resources, but it can get by. Southern Brazil has enough coal to start industrializing, and it can later be bought from South Africa. Brazilian coal is reachable by both coastal and river transport relatively easily. Similarly accessible are the...

    Bulgaria (in the West) or the Roman Empire (domestically) is a nation of disputed origin. Western thinkers and byzantophile purists consider Rome to have fallen long ago, while Bulgaria's own scholars have accepted the theory of Imperial Continuity: with the Slavic conquest and integration into...

    Just a quick doodle to justify not working on school projects. The Commonwealth of All Nations is the result of the merger of two pre-existing power blocks, the Lublin Union and the Danish-Novgorodite Commonwealth. The serious upset of power balance prompted European leaders to take action, and...

    Semi-mythological interpretation of Early Medieval Tavastia, a linguistic-cultural region stretching " from salt sea to salt sea". The period lends itself to dramatic interpretations exceptionally well, with pagan peoples of the Finnish peninsula finding themselves between Catholic Swedes and...

    Thank you! Indeed, those are colonies of a fiercely protestant league centered around former Hanseatic cities. The crowns are indeed mines; I didnt bother to differentiate between gold and silver - it's all going to China anyway.

    the fantastic tale of GO WEST, or Who needs the Indian Ocean anyway? After a series of disastrous expeditions beyond the Cape, the Portuguese and later other avid European explorers, the focus of Asian trade had to switch to Trans-Mexican portage routes. Although the canal at Panama would not...

    Threadmarks: Greater Poland, by gxblt

    After years of abuse and mistreatment, I've decided to give poor old Poland a break. Welcome to a world where an entire nation's water supply was contaminated with Felix Felicis for hundreds of years. Welcome to a world were Teutonic Cossacks patrol the Steppes, emancipated serfs cultivate...

    The United States of Arcadia, on the 19th of June 1921 celebrating her 150 years of independence from the United Kingdom. Part of my ASB timeline He Actually Did It, in which Columbus sets sail to India and actually arrives there unhindered by land ...

    Warm and fuzzy-coloured board game-style map of the Habsburg domains in Europe. The second version portrays important industrial areas - notable chonkers include Silesia-Bohemia, Low Countries, Middle England and Oberdonau (Augs-Press). The Industrial revolution has shaken the Empire to its...

    A little map showing the results of the Imperial Ancestry Survey of 1901 - a controversial document in it's time - refuting the notion of an 'Ango world'. Shown here are the parliamentary provinces i.e. ones with representation in the Imperial Parliament. Not shown are the Imperial Cities...
  14. WI: Most technologically advanced world

    Culture and economics are too often undestimated as main forces behind the scientific and industrial revolutions. China invented - well, most things really - yet it didn't see the kind of explosive development Europe went through. It's not Civ6 where you build libraries until you reach Mars...

    I reckon it's due to this being an amazing set-up for the Hyperwar.

    The western border of the Imperial Federation and thus the venue through which any conventional invasion might take place (other than through China and into Manchuria)

    Generic office map, found in the ruins of an Alliance base in the desert city of Jeddah (circa 1960). Part of a timeline without WW1 and thus no RCW or WW2, leading to a demographic and economic boom in the Waking Bear. The sole superpower in the world. Its vast, strewn fields, rich chernozem...

    Yes, they are atrocious people with dreadfully misinformed and lethal beliefs, but I should think we ought to get back to mapping. The main Hitler was duly kicked, leave the tomahawk to rest no matter how righteous the flame burns. If only we had special members with privileges who could keep...

    Yeah, I threw together a map about a hypothetical municipality of the area I grew up in - yes, it is a god-forsaken wasteland.
