i dunno either.
correct.
a reaction like that is entirely justified.
why not?
yep.
heh.
What I meant to be a parody of the new AH meme of "16 x-es", but could also end up parodying the majority of submissions to the map thread
Sixteen Rectangles
A1 : The obligatory country/state specific one
The subject territory has something very unique about it. Unfortunately the last unique alternate history about that thing was published in a short story submitted to a magazine in 1981.
A2: My ideology is good
My ideology would work perfectly if history would have gone a little differently and this example suffers from no problems historically associated with it
It is beautiful and unorthodox in its map-making with detailed internal divisions and such because I obviously labored over it the longest. it is a wonder that I managed to do it all one handed
A3: Filler
If one now-dead white guy killed a different now-dead white guy at a different time, what would have happened? Not much, actually.
A4: Video game reference
Haha Witcher 3 Bad Amirite
B1: The Nazi one
Could be realistic, could be incredibly memey. Whatever the case, more grey in this one than a public sewer or men’s wool business suit or something else that is grey
B2: Token self-criticism
Okay my ideology does have a few problems I guess. I am only throwing this in here to stave off accusations of blatant favoritism. However, since I am probably incapable of true self-introspection, I will attribute my ideology’s failure to outside interference (i.e. an overreaction to a coup attempt by my ideological opponents) and/or have a couple redeeming features
B3: The Very British One
Because the professional Africa Acquirers of Britain have invaded or colonized absolutely everywhere, here’s one where everyone drinks tea and watches overproduced BBC mystery shows or something. If it’s “Sixteen britains” this is the one where the empire survives and isn’t evil.
B4: Communist Rectangle
Either a utopia (see favored ideology) or depressingly realistic description of life in a warsaw pact country
C1: Really cool idea
Shame we only get a few pixels and a writeup about it
C2: Eyestrain
That speck on your screen is the Free City of My Hometown and it is very small
C3: More filler
What if an unrelated now-dead white guy from the previous filler scenario forgot to brush his teeth on Who Cares, 19XX? Still not much.
C4: Wacky sci fi
Technobabble and global warming
D1: Ref. Kaiserreich
I don’t play kaiserreich so just insert some catchphrase you lot chant in discord chats for me, alright?
D2: Ref. published AH
Marry me turtledove senpai
D3: Funny silly!!!!
Woooaaah funny memes about my country/state very T O P I C A L and H U M O R O U S also I will plug my favored ideology in here and you cannot say it is not just me having a laugh
D4: Nuclear Holocaust Schmuclear Shmolocaust
A nuclear war would leave many survivors so I can LARP fallout in my hometown

I want to see the one soldier charging into no man's land valiantly waving the flag of Token Self-Criticism.

For inspirational purposes, upload the high-rez flags of Token Self-Criticism, Eyestrain, and Funny Silly!!! to this site to see them stirring in the wind. (click for large)
Thing is, while most African borders aren't any good for modern states they weren't just randomly drawn completely without care for geography or even precolonial states
Nah, it's Sri Lanka. There was no room beneath India, so they moved it far off to the side.
