Millenia ago, before the 'new' mods, there was a series of threads called Countries of an Alternate World. They were basically map continuations, but people filled out info for the nations as well.
Well this thread is another one of them. However, we will not fill out any info, we will just a give a name, or a few names, and post the map with the country added. Once a region of the world (one region per thread) is completed, we will figure out the history of the region. Once we are basically done with that, we will move onto the next region--the regions are, "Eurasia and North Africa", "Sub-Saharan Africa and Oceania", and "The Americas".
So it's basically a modified map continuation. I wanted to start it in Before 1900 because the people here have a firm grasp of reality unlike (many of but not all) of the people of Shared Worlds and the Sandbox, and there are simply more people than in Alternate History Books and Media.
Anyway, here's some important info, and then I'll post the map and start it off. The reason the map is not in this post is because it is huge and it would stretch out the post too much.
- THE POD IS 1400.
- THE CURRENT YEAR IS 2011.
- YOU MUST CLAIM BEFORE YOU POST A MAP, SO THAT YOU DON'T CONFLICT WITH ANYONE ELSE'S NATIONS.
- CONSENSUS IS KING. IF YOUR NATION IS UNREALISTICALLY LARGE, OR JUST UNREALISTIC, IT CAN BE REMOVED OR SHRUNK.
- IT'S A GOOD IDEA TO USE THE PROVINCES ALREADY ON THE MAP, THOUGH IF YOU HAVE TO, YOU CAN CREATE NEW LINES.
- ONCE YOU HAVE FILLED IN YOUR NATION, EITHER COLOR THE INTERNAL BORDERS GREY, OR GET RID OF THEM ENTIRELY.
