Here's another world map from GURPS Infinite Worlds.
This one is Reich-2, an alternate where Halifax becomes PM,
negotiates an armistice with Germany, and then allies with Japan (by supplying them with oil and rubber) to break up the German-Japanese power-bloc.
Current year is 1961, and the five great powers - Germany, Britain, USSR, Japan, and the US - are in a cold war, building orbiting nuclear missile platforms, and engaged in proxy wars throughout Africa, SE Asia, and the middle east.

Faeelin: yeah, I can definitely do a map of Bonaparte. I'll do one of PoP too, but you'll have to let me re-read the thread first, unless you want to PM me with the particulars of what you want.
Othniel: I used a bit of guesswork. I'm assuming that even though Vichy France is a satellite state of the Reich, they have a bit of autonomy, and Germany trusts them enough to let them administer Morocco and Algeria (the latter of which I've adjusted the border of northwards quite a lot).
Also note that 'satellite' doesn't necessarily mean a given nation is under direct control. For example, I'm assuming that Turkey and Egypt would be more like junior partners. I just tried to simplify things for the map. Also, there's not a huge amount of info in the book, so I had to guess on a lot of things.

Here's a map for my No WWI-TL.
The world in 1929.
Key: Red: British Empire - Navy blue: French empire -Grey: Russia - Light green: German empire - Dark green: Austria-Hungary - Yellow: Spain -Lighter yellow: Japan - Purple: Denmark - Orange: Netherlands - Pink: Italy - Dark brown: US - (what should have been) a lighter shade of brown: China.
Colors or other atates are a bit at random.
Striped areas represent countries that are not fully sovereign but not real colonies either.

And yet another map of a parallel from GURPS I.W.
This one is Bonaparte-4, where Nappy landed in Ireland, blockaded Britain, and went on to build a massive empire, which is now, 200 years later, rotting and stagnant. In the words of the book's authors, it is a 'globe-spanning banana republic'.
Again, I took certain liberties. There is not a lot of info on any of these parallels, so I made stuff up. Some of it makes sense, like the Boerstaat and the central African colonies given out as a pittance for Austria by its French overlords. Other things, like an independent Australia (possibly with American help?) I threw in because I thought it looked cool.

Here's a (completely implausible, mind you) world I've been playing with.. the premise of it is that the HRE conquers France along the turn of the millenium, and a resistance movement grows up around Jauques, young Count of Champagne.. eventually we get this situation in 2004.
The Empire of Franconia is basically a Protestant HRE, where the Emperor changes his title (He's of a Franconian dynasty, and he says it is a throwback to the Franks who founded the Empire) after going against the Pope.
