Well the Partido Nacional Revolucionario ("National Revolutionary Party) ruled for nearly 70 years OTL and was founded as a coalition of surviving leaders of the Mexican Revolution (1910 to 1920) and was a member of the Socialist International.Wait Mexico was a COMECON observer?
Mexican Communist revolution when?
so like this? hope I did not miss anyone?COMECON members:
Bulgaria
Cuba
Czechoslovakia
East Germany
Hungary
Mongolia
Poland
USSR
Vietnam
South Yemen
Libya
Syria
Albania
You missed Upper Volta/Burkina Faso.so like this? hope I did not miss anyone?
That was neither on the list or the COMECON map (or I am going blind, don't get me wrong my female half tells me that for years now for not finding stuff she puts away ...You missed Upper Volta/Burkina Faso.
Honestly, I'd like to increase relations with Mexico and maybe their membership in COMECON since I'd rather Mexico not be part of the NAFTA deal...
so like this? hope I did not miss anyone?
It is more different in paint tbh not sure if some of the colors change when uploading them or saving the image? Might use more contrasting one in light and dark next time. Reguarding the map there is a ton of countries missing the Soviets OTL also had naval, air and troop station rights outside of this core group like Algeria, Mali, Kenia, Gabun, but I wasn't to certain how to best visualize that. On top of that otehr bilateral treaties and agreements with Egypt, Iran, India, China and Finnland existed outside of the Warshaw Pact and COMECON.Kinda hard to differentiate who's COMECON members, but it represents Soviet sphere of influence nicely.
Yeah but that's for a overall world and occupation map no full member I would argue, will wait what the autor has to say about that. ;DOtherwise you should add Chad since at the time it was invaded by Libya so with Libyan ascension to COMECON its pro Soviet state (partly).
Ah ok, hopefully Mexico comes out better than OTL...Unlikely to happen as it's to close to the US so it's likely that US won't allow it nor will Mexico risk it as USA is probably more important trading partner that USSR so Mexico cannot really afford to alienate USA but that doesn't stop it from pursuing closer relations with USSR and COMECON . Maybe upgrade to associate member? As for NAFTA even if it gets signed it will probably be different than otl and more in Mexican favor.
It was mentioned in the previous page.That was neither on the list or the COMECON map (or I am going blind, don't get me wrong my female half tells me that for years now for not finding stuff she puts away ...
This is just the COMECON maps, Soviet Sphere of overall influence will follow tomorrow or at the weekend. ;DIt was mentioned in the previous page.

Also thanks overall as I have so few RL tiem to do even my own AU/TL that it gets easy to overlook a few things in ones i read, or even do maps for from tiem to time, ecpecially with the Halloween Party planning coming up...
I first want to know how different Warsaw Pact and COMECON should be colored on that map, or if all Soviet Sphere areas should have the same coloring, also what to do about the overall existing naval, air and troop station rights outside of this core group like Algeria, Mali, Kenia, Gabun, but I wasn't to certain how to best visualize that. On top of that otehr bilateral treaties and agreements with Egypt, Iran, India, China and Finnland existed outside of the Warshaw Pact and COMECON, as it is influence, but not so direct one.
While we are at it I'm not certain if areas of control in Afghanistan and Angola are still correct and up to date in this TL by now, so any help there woudl be aprpeciated.
Many thanks!so like this? hope I did not miss anyone?
oh yeah, I completely forgot about themAlso regarding Soviet sphere of influence @panpiotr i believe you forgot to mention People's republic of Congo founded in 1969.
They are due to our much increased tradeRegarding Somalia it was Soviet ally until Oganden war at which point Soviets decided to back Ethiopia over Somalia with Somalia shifting to Western block from 1970s onwards so i don't think they are in Soviet Sphere as of now.
