  1. Possibilities for a Spanish Australia

    I'm curious as to how one might go about creating a Spanish Australia? What POD would you need? How would it be administrated? Could you get an influx of other Catholics (Irish, Italians, etc.) to bolster its population? Would they intermix with the Aboriginals? That sort of thing. I do know...

  2. Names for a British Siberian Dominion

    So I'm just making a map and it has a British Siberian Dominion, it involves a swath of eastern Russia being annexed by the British after an Anglo-Japanese alliance beats the bear down. The POD isn't important as this could be a resource for any number of PODs that involve such a polity. I've a...

  3. WI: Dubya is killed in Tbilisi, Georgia?

    So I just learned yesterday that an assassination attempt on George W. Bush (and presumably Georgian president Mikheil Saakashvili) was very nearly successful; whilst giving a speech in Tbilisi a would-be assassin, Vladimir Arutyunian, pulled on the pin on a Soviet-era grenade and threw it at...

  4. Alternate Religious Developments in British North America

    So I'm working on a timeline wherein the Americas remain British, first by gaining limited representation in the House of Commons and later their own self-government. The POD is something vague in the 1730s or 40s, but that is the ultimate result of it. This obviously means the religious...

  5. AHC: Farthest afield Romance nation

    This refers to nations that weren’t settled in our traditional ‘colonial period’, and so constitute old-world languages of Italian, French, Spanish, Romanian, Romansch and Portuguese (the extant ones anyway). Iotl, Romanian is the most isolated of the Romance languages, being on the other side...

  6. Map Research/WI: Thomas Aquinas Lives Longer

    So I'm doing a map on the side based on a comment I saw a while ago in the pre-1900 forum (which I can't seem to find, unfortunately) which basically made the point that had Thomas Aquinas lived longer and been able to complete various important texts then we might see social and technological...

  7. A City on Grand Isle County

    Hello all, I'm making a map for the Map of the Month contest, and it's going to be an inordinately wanked Vermont. Something I wanted to do for this map, aside making Burlington a proper city and having Vermont annex Upstate New York in a bout of geopolitical irony, is to build a densely packed...

  8. PC/AHC: The USA speaks German

    I've seen this bandied about recently, and there's at least one erroneous account of Congress attempting to pass into law German as a national language. (In reality it was a bill to print laws in German as well as English, probably to aid the 7% of Americans that spoke German at the time) But is...

  9. Map Making Scenarios

    So I don't know if anyone else has had trouble coming up with ideas for maps, whether they be Worlda's or Inkscape or whatever, but I do. So I thought that what might be useful would be a thread that people can put their map ideas in that they themselves either don't have the time or the skills...

  10. Alternate Turkish Capitals

    I've a question that's pretty straight forward. Following the dissolution of the Ottoman Empire after the Great War, presuming Turkey still moves it's capital from Istanbul, is Ankara assured to be the capital or may alternate cities take that position? Ankara makes sense; defensible...

  11. 90s Tropes

    So I'm making a fun 90s-punk or 'Post Soviet Punk' map, where the world basically hasn't moved forward from the 90s; the former Soviet Union is still a mess, the Congo Civil War is fast becoming one of the longest wars in history, tensions between Native Americans and the American and Canadian...

  12. AHC/PC: A Latin American nation joins the British Empire

    As far as I'm aware (and I'm not expert) Peru, Uruguay, Argentina and I think Chile, among other Latin American countries, were reliant on Britain for grain imports and in turn exported raw materials. (Or maybe that's the other way around, again I'm hazy on this at best) And I've often heard of...

  13. AHC: Free Kraków survives to the present day.

    I used to have a bit of a love affair with Polish history, especially when I was rather new to alternate history. Beginning with the Commonwealth and extending out to the Grand Duchy and then the Free City of Kraków. Your challenge is to have Free Kraków survive to the modern day; with extra...

  14. PC: Franco-Spanish Communist Union

    Now, let's say that France suffers a crushing defeat against the Germans in WWI enough to destabilize the government and give traction to communist revolutionaries. I know it's always a question of 'how' they lose, so in this case let's say that the US stays neutral due to better diplomacy on...

  15. HowAboutThisForAName's Map Room

    Call me Isaac. I had thought about calling this 'HowAboutThisForAMapThread' but then I remembered I came up with my username when I was literally 11 and it is very cringe worthy. I mean good lord you'd think I'd have abandoned it by now. Anywho, this thread is basically a place I can brain...

  16. Italian Dixie

    This is only a very quick question; I'm making a map in which everything east of the Mississippi and south of Virginia -bar Florida- is heavily colonised by Neapolitans whilst under Spanish Hapsburg rule. It later breaks away to form an oligarchic union of small time counts and dukes built on...

  17. WI/AHC: No White Australia Policy

    In 1901, following Federation, the Immigration Restriction Act was passed, effectively barring non-Europeans from emigrating to the newly minted Australia. The origins of this lie in a backlash against Chinese miners in the New South Wales goldfields and increasing market penetration from...

  18. Keep Britain out of WWI

    So I don't journey into the Post-1900 forum often so my apologies if this had been asked to death. But is it possible to stymie British involvement in WWI? I presume this may involve butterflying the Entente Cordiale, but then their responsibility to Belgium would still pull them in on the...

  19. French Technocracy

    So I'm a map maker; those that look at the map thread regularly might have seen my most recent iterations. I'm recreating a bunch of my old maps and the one I'm currently recreating is this; http://dain-siegfried.deviantart.com/art/Breathing-In-That-Emerald-Air-572509568. One of the main reasons...

  20. WI: Teutonic Order annexed by the Commonwealth

    Something that I cannot fathom and that is almost certainly a contribution to their eventual demise -though of course in a rather roundabout way- is why the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth failed to annex the Teutonic Order after the Battle of Grunwald, or any time thereafter such as the Treaty...
