DBWI i found this map in someone's ah thread but i cant seem to make sense of it

250px-Russian_Empire_%28orthographic_projection%29.svg.png


I dont understand I think its supposed to be some sort of viking wank but this is to much?
 
Yeah, it's too much. Where's the capital of this place, anyways? It looks like the core of this polity is sibir, or maybe qazaqhiyya. Maybe it's some sort of khanate? All of it's borders seem to be, aside from that bit in the east, based off of geography. I mean, look at it, it's borders seem to stop at mountain ranges, desert, or rivers, aside from the west. It's odd this nation was able to conquer the Unified Principalities of Rus, (HRE analogue.)
and Holy Teutonica
Perhaps it's descended from the jochiid khaganate?
No, that doesn't make sense. Any khanate descended from genghis would have taken mongolia, instead of making it what..is that a vassal or something? I can't tell.

What's this odd country all about, then?
 
Almost the same as OTL Mordovian Empire, but the map has included Ruthenia and Turkestan, which would be impossible IOTL as both Ruthenians and Turks were fiercely independent people.

I almost remember reading a guide to Mordovia that in the Early Middle Ages, a large number of East Slavs (proto-Ruthenians) has migrated to the country, which they've eventually assimilated to the Mordovians like the eastern Goths who taught them skills like intensive agriculture

I don't understand what problem you guys have with this map .
Isn't this map the USSR or the Russian empire ???

What's the issue ?

Please clarify .(Please 'reply' to my post so i will get a notification)
 
If lighter color means indirect control, I imagine the empire's center would be far from it, so I guess it must be some sort of Finno-Ugric wank.
 
Strictly speaking I wouldn't call this ASB

Unlikely sure, but considering OTL conquests like the Qazak invasion of the Arabian peninsula and the oh so brief Teutonic Reich its possible that this is some nation in a brief ascendance. Which like the Mongols, Qazaks and Macedonians before them would break apart swiftly after the conquests peter out.


I am unsure as to how it occupies the Aleut autonomous district though. I can't think of any reason this state would invade the New World rather than take Corea or Nihon.

It's a Double Blind What If (DBWI) where posters act as if they are from an alternate timeline theorizing about things that could have happened to make their timeline similar to our timeline
 
Actually. Perhaps it's a rurikid wank, where there wasn't any mongol conquest and the rurikids managed to centralise the UPR?

Rurikids that not only fend off the Chinese to get all the way to the Pacific, but even cross the Pacific ocean against the Japanese Navy to claim land in the Americas? It's absurd.
