    That's an OTL map. It might be nice to have maps of the first and second Saudi states nearby for context?

    "What if I25...but, a state?"

    So...if we're playing the wetland game, there are other spots. The Nile Delta should be wetlands, as should the western end of the Persian Gulf. Basra was a seaport when it was founded in the 7th Century, and there is an extensive region of brackish wetlands extending over 200km inland from...

    I'm sure there's other things here, but notably the UK claimed and in practice governed much of what is now the US states of Washington and Oregon.

    I stand corrected.

    Is there a reasons why it's "Empire of the French" instead of "French Empire"? OTL, it was only ever "l'Empire français", and in the 19th Century, "[Monarch] of the [People]" was long out of fashion. "King of the Belgians" is a bit of an anomaly and occurred for specific historical reasons that...

    Well, Berg is German, not Netherlandish.

    What level of inter-species mixing is going on? I don't just mean interbreeding, but general living together. Like, those North African spots seem ripe for Neanderthal/"Modern human" mixed societies, or the Silk Road and the Indo-Gangetic plain for Neanderthal/Denisovan mixing.

    One of those "Portugal is not a small country!" things?

    This would make more sense with 26 counties in the Republic of Ireland + 6 counties in Eritrea, thus adding to the 32 counties of a united Ireland. This way you have 38 counties, which is just too many.

    No seats. The 1866 election happened before many Southern states were "fully readmitted"; representatives from several would be readmitted before the 1868 election (I don't know how these people were selected). By the 1868 election, only Virginia, Texas, and Mississippi still weren't allowed...

  12. AHC; Create a country with the most amount of capital cities

    I wonder if you could get something like in the United States. The Federal Circuit Court system was established in 1789, which predates Washington DC. Maybe instead of establishing DC, it could be decided that the Federal government could also travel between locations, to ensure equality...

    That article was certainly...an article. I love how it was very progressive in some ways and super regressive in others. It's always fun to read stuff from that period and see how people are all "And we are all God's children, man and woman, Christian and Jew and Mohammedan, but also people...

    What with the German language and the capital in Vienna, I just can't figure out who made this map.

    First of all, I think this is very good. But you asked for feedback, so...it's good that you switched from gray for Norn, though I'm not sure about the purple. In the small inset islands, it's easy to confuse with the red against the green background (at least it is for me). Consider yellow...

  16. What other countries could have been 'Koreanized'?

    I think Austria is a strong possibility. The reunification of Austria's occupation zones in 1955 happened in the context of the post-Stalin thaw and a general rapprochement between East and West; it would be very easy to scotch it. This would require that the Allies advance must further than...

    It's the traditional Hebrew way of referring to France, assigning the name of a country from the Bible (almost definitely a different one, but Tzarfat has been used for France for probably at least 1000 years. There was a brief discussion of the choice when the previous map (of France) was posted.

  19. Unbuilt Canada

    Both good points, though as far as the first, I can't imagine that it actually made so much more money for the goods to leave by Quebec City instead of an American port that it offset the cost of that canal. It's very hard, looking back, to remember that US/Canada relations were...if not...

  20. Unbuilt Canada

    The problem is that there's no reason to bypass those areas, since those are and have always been the heartland of Canada. The Canadian Shield means that there isn't a huge amount to do anywhere in the country aside from the St Lawrence Valley and the Ontario Peninsula until there's significant...
