State of Serbian Austria. It's conveniently the same initials in Serbian.
Alex Richards.... have you got a map for your location?
Note of that exact location, but I did do (and post) this map from another part of the Empire a while back.

I hadn't even thought about that to be honest. But I'll definitely keep it in mind when I put the internal divisions in.
I was thinking about adding a key for the final version. And I wasn't entirely sure about South America, so I'm glad you like it.
That's exactly what's happening.
The Midwestern state in North America? That's the Republic of America, which is basically just Über Iowa, plus a somewhat dwarfed Chicago. The blob in the republican/Mongolian/Russian border region is an objectivist/libertarian movement thingy, sort of analogous to the communist movement. The difference being that communism- and socialism in general- didn't really catch on in the old world. Socialism IS pretty big in the Americas though.
In western Russia right? That's from the river patches I used for making some of the borders. I'm planning on cleaning it up when I put internal divisions in.

Even before Flanders gained it's independence there were some that suggested that it would be better if they got rid of the outdated province structure. but implementing this reform would be difficult in the condition Belgium was in. When the delegates of the Flemish government met in Antwerp to discuss how to run the new Flemish Republic it was decided to abolish the provinces in favor for smaller, more regional departments. The Departments where ideal for neighboring communes to work closer together and have a regional policy.
Given the hatred of Flemish nationalists for all things French, I doubt they would call them 'departments'.
Also, there would probably be some border adjustments.
Very good map, though.

How? Wouldn't it be Država Srpske Austrije (DSA) or (less likely because it sounds awkward and confusing) Srpska Austrijska Država (SDA)?

Dammit. It looks like for some bizarre reason when translating 'State of Serbia Austria' you get that, wheras using the more gramatically correct 'State of Serbian Austria' you get Stanje Srpskog Austrije.
Typical. Bloody typical

stanje does mean state, as in, a condition.
Just goes to prove you can't trust online translators. At least until we invent thinking machines. Then we've got a whole other set of problems!
I wasn't that unproductive when it comes to alternate history during my three-week absence, so I made this map of an alternate East Germany and in fact another one which I am not that happy with (but you can still check it out on deviantArt if you want). So anyways, this East Germany gained Lübeck but lost Thuringia (in OTL there were negotiations to determine the future of the region, with the Soviets offering it in return for West Berlin) but they also have kept more in the east, keeping Stettin, territories east of the Bober/Bobr and all of Usedom. Also butterflies regarding the territorial structure (no Saxony-Anhalt, different fates for Saxony and Brandenburg, Potsdam as the national capital, Saale-Anhalt because it is Halle-Saale plus pretty much all of Anhalt).

I like!
Absolutely batshit in terms of backstory,
(Minor quibble - Manchurian nation? Not big enough to seriously cripple the Chinese, big enough to permanently piss them off. Seems like a move of pure dickery [1]...

Cheers. It is - well, Navajo-Apache-Hopi, assembled out of the existing reservations in the region and given connecting corridors to make them 'viable'. The detached Manchuria was based on at least the US perception of what was happening in northern China (from totentanz0's Great Soviet Empire grab-bag of quotes):
"In his National Press Club speech of January, 1950, Secretary of State Dean Acheson declared that Russia is engaged in "detaching" from China and "attaching" to Russia the northern areas of China.
"This process," said Mr. Acheson, "is completed in Outer Mongolia. It is nearly completed in Manchuria." He went on to include Inner Mongolia and Sinkiang, and to say that "this fact that the Soviet Union is taking the four northern provinces of China is the single most significant, most important fact in the relations of any foreign power with Asia."

Apparently there's only a German page for this on Wikipedia.
So… a permanently frozen giant lake, also permanently irradiated and therefore useful to no one?
There's an English-language article on the saner parts of the project that were actually completed under the name Northern river reversal. The real prize of the Dawydow plan would have been the largest irrigation project in human history in Central Asia - the canals and Ob-Irtysh Sea were there to reverse the flow of the Arctic rivers and redirect them to the Caspian and Aral Sea. Some 70 miles of canal were apparently actually completed with nuclear detonations before some serious points were raised (including that raising the salinity of the Arctic Sea by starving it of freshwater could lead to runaway global warming) and the idea was shelved (also, the SU was running out of cash for big geo-projects after their oil production went into decline - not a problem in a world where they have annexed Iran).

that's terriying, one would fervently hope that they show at least a little respect for the city.
The colours are nice and foresty. But did you make this with fractal mapping software? Because it has that all mountains go in heaps in the middle of the landmasses thing going on.
That could also be an interesting idea for an alien geomorphology without plates, though.
Yeah, given what they did to the Stadtschloss IOTL it rather makes you fear for the entire centre of that city.
