Exactly what it says on the tin. How balkanized can the area of the 1914 Romanov state get? The more plausible balkanizations would be accepted easier, but we all know how implausible history itself is, so......
What's with Kuban?
It's certainly majority-Russian by 1914, and even the Cossacks, if counted as a separate ethnicity, are a minority in that territory.
Got something against a good Don state?![]()
this is how much territory Russia can lose before you get into area's where Russians make up the majority
Taking into account that he's obviously working with 1900 settlement, I can't believe you missed Krimea and whole Novorossia thingEDIT: And not to mention the Kazakh border. Can't believe I missed that first time around![]()
I'd say that Ukraine not being controlled by Russia inevitably ends up being controlled by PLC (Poland-Lithuania), so fates of those two are linked together. Novgorod's survival is possible but not easy, as any half-serious Central Russian political entity (be it called Russia, Muskovy, Vladimir Principality or Kingdom of Apes) would have stranglehold on Novgorod's grain supply. Balts? Who care about them. IOTL they were semi-autonomous crusader states ruled by their German elites under Russian overlordship. Kind of a bribe to Baltic German nobility for being loyal to Czar's throne (a rare example of an agreement both sides stuck to for 200 years).We're before 1900 here. At the very least, we should look at a surviving Republic of Novgorod. We can also probably keep the Ukraine out of Russian hands somehow. The Baltic states go to Sweden or Poland-Lithuania.
Unlikely. IOTL Pskov had been Novgorodian client state most of the time before being absorbed by Muskovy. They're either under Novgorod, or under this Central Russian entity.We might be able to shoehorn a couple city-states in (e.g. Pskov).
Again, unlikely after, let's say, 1600. As soon as you get numerous musketeer armies raised by farming-based principalities, nomads are doomed. IOTL PLC kept Tatars in check with little more than private armies of borderland nobles.The middly bits remain dominated by steppe horsepeople.
Unlikely again. Chinese, possibly. Korean, not impossibly. Japanese? ASB.Southern far east Siberia probably gets taken by the Japanese
Nope, whoever holds Barenz Sea SE shore and Novaya Zemlya, most likely controls Northern Siberia. And Russians (Vladimirians, then Novgorodians) controlled it since 13th century.with the further northern parts taken by a colonial empire - probably Britain or the Dutch.
