AHC: make this world happen

Even if the red massive Uber-thing looks like The Mother of All Britwanks, it could actually be anything else, like a Dutch superpower, an absurdely oversized US, the deadliest Indian Empire ever seen, even an overextended Inca empire (ASBish) .
Similarly, the other green Uber-thing has not necessarily to be Russia: it could be a Mongol khanate of some kind, Khazaria, or the like. The dark-green one could be Greece, rump Ottoman, or Byzantine. I'm afraid that the very much France-like thing in yellow makes all this very unlikely though, you can work it out as a very odd Tuareg empire if you want to but i think it has actually to be France.
POD has to be after 476 AD. Enjoy.

A united Anglo-Dutch empire formed after the Glorious Revolution could account for the extremely large empire, a bigger Russia could account for the green one, France is basically the same as OTL but smaller, Spain and Italy do not need an explanation, the muddy green in modern day Greece and Turkey could be a smaller Ottoman empire, the orange in modern day China could be some Chinese dynasty, the purple would be Japan, the dark blue would be Bavaria, and the brown in Scandinavia would be a united kingdom of sorts.

Basically, an Anglo-Dutch empire, and then some other PoDs and butterflies could make this world happen.
 
The Red is a fully-wanked out Caliphate. It has grown decadent, and it's political center of power has long since shifted to the Americas, explaining how the European powers (left unconquered due to a grand bargain with the Byzantine empire) have managed to seize critical North African oilfields.

That Orthodox Russia has taken that particular border with it's Russian possession is oddly convergent, but that border is going to be a problem in any timeline diverging from that early anyhow...

I like this, but in this case the green thing might be Mongol instead than Russian.

Dark blue might be also a rump Austria. And you should explain how Spain got Portugal. With a POD that far, Italy also would need explanation. :)
But that's good.
 
And what's that blue thing? Have Switzerland and Russia partitioned Germany after an alt-WWII?:)
 
God decides to love Britain and Russia most?

maybe columbus works for henry vii and they are the ones who initially colonize the new world, and after a string of lucky events, monopolize it along with india and large portions of africa.

maybe that doesn't have to be russia, but a stronger, more centralized surviving mongolian empire?

I was thinking of Austria, Bavaria, Bohemia and (less likely) Wurttemberg. But your idea is nice :). Essentially, the blue thing is what's left of Germany (in a broad sense) after the Reds and the Greens have got the rest.
