This is from a game I've posted some flags and other stuff from before.

It's a cutout map, so only the specific country is shown.
They also have a very large island, but I did'nt include it since it's a map of the continental portion of the country.


(The countries current official name is the 'Great Sekowan People's Federative Socialist Empire'.)

Is it an island? If not you may want to shade other nations grey or a lighter colour, otherwise it looks a bit odd.

I'm so glad the other countries finaly got off our back about that.

No, it's the portions of the continent the country takes up, the basemap I took it from is sort of messy to edit (in any program), so I just went with the cut-out style.
 
Then you might like this, the latest map for Lands of Red and Gold:
Curse you and your amazing maps! I make one of the best I can and then the real mapmakers show up...
:p

Really beautiful, although borders for the nations might be nice, but it would make it very crowded.
 
Actually, that wasn't officially until Ataturk's reforms. Unofficially, I believe so, but not officially.
It's just the (Ottoman-?) Turkish word for "The City" or some such, right? Surely, then, 1453 would a fair date to begin referring to it as "Istanbul".
 
From the AHTG gazeteer, which I'm almost done with...

Isla De California – a world in which “the big one” hit California in the Middle Ages, so when European explorers arrived a channel of ocean ran from the Gulf of California as far north as OTL Puget Sound. The republic of California is one of the richer and most developed parts of the globe, and is the leading nation in the Spanish-speaking trading block known as the Confederation of American States, but the world’s dominant powers are the British Empire and the Empire of Peru - Spanish OTL South America, including the western bits of OTL Brazil (Portugal and Brazil never united in this world, so there was much less Portuguese penetration west of the Tordesillas treaty line), the Philippines, Australia, NZ - with China as a rising third power. The German-Russian Collectivist Block broke apart rather messily in the 1980s with the second Russian civil war (which thankfully only involved a _few_ nuclear weapons) - although Red Germany remains in control of a number of chunks of the Block, it no longer really counts as a first-rank power.

Australia and New Zealand were settled earlier and are more densely populated than in our world, especially New Zealand – Australia suffers from some serious water shortages. It’s a more aristocratic and elitist world, and a number of states still allow dueling, including Isla de California itself. Curiously, there was an actual masked revolutionary (or possibly revolutionaries) going by the name of Zorro who played an important role in Isla De California’s breaking away from the rule of Madrid. (Even more curiously, Californians are not fond of spicy food). Most of Spanish-speaking America is essentially first world.

The name is actually Greek in origin, and originally meant an informal "in the city" - "downtown" might be an acceptable translation. I don't know when it started, but I know it had caught on with the Arabs (as As-Stambūl) in the 700s.

As AHP is fond of noting, the Ottomans tended to refer to the City officially as Constantinople, or rather in Ottoman Turkish "قسطنطينيه" (Kostantiniyye). Stamboul generally only referred to the historical centre of the city, the oldest parts (hence "downtown").

It was only after Atatürk took over that Istanbul became the preferred name, and it was only formally adopted in 1930. But then we all know what these revolutionary republics are like with misunderstanding terminology (witness Citizen Capet).
 
I've been looking through some of the older map threads, and I have to say that I am sick and tired of the Axis winning WWII. Just for once, I'd like to see them lose!

I posted a map a few days ago of the Axis losing, it included Germany being split into three states, Italy losing Sardinia to France and the USSR annexing Romania and Bulgaria among other things.
 
Good after-noon.

This has no-thing to do with alternate-history and the quality is also rather bad, but some might find it interesting.

This is what I thought the world was like when I was a (very (very)) small child (to the best of my recollection).

Holy....you can make maps too? :eek:

I remain convinced, good sir, that you are actually a robot. Not that that is a bad thing.
And, "Citoyen Capet" probably was recorded just because it sounded cool.

I like the way you placed Iceland. Sorta makes sense, some of the political refugees from the unification of Norway that in OTL went to Iceland could instead have gone north-east! The Kola peninsula and the White Sea coast as a Scandinavian-cultured Bjarmia coming out of the Viking age..
