Ivangorod Prosperous: Russia's Early Rise to Power

Hey readers, I am just wondering if you could add some of your comments on what should be improved for this thread. I'm not sure how authors have their threads so popular and I definitely need to know how to do that. Other than that, I may start writing some trivial facts about ATL General Knowledge in Ivangorod Prosperous. Here's one:

- In Zhemchuka, Ivan Lakan's best selling book, Getmanschina, is the most popular book to read among anti-Russian groups within the former Russian Empire, particularly in Ukraine.

- Mikhail Giorgyevich Ignatyev served as the Governor General of Zhemchuka from 1998 to 2010. His tenure as Governor General was marked by a series of separatist movements calling for an independent Zhemchukan state.

- Schnitzel curry is an example of a hybrid Indo-German cuisine that was introduced by Indian immigrants to hungry German customers in the city of Magdeburg.

- The Russians, wishing not to be outbidded by the Germans in the culinary competition, introduced pirozhki to Zhemchuka. In turn, the Zhemchukans had taken the pirozhki recipe and created the Lumpiang Magadan, a Zhemchukan version of the Pirozhki. Another example of Russo-Malay cuisine is a purple yam flavored Topodov's Puto.

Cuisine in Ivangorod Prosperous:

- Chicano cuisine is primarily influenced by Mayan, Aztec, Spanish and to a lesser extent, Turkish cuisines.
- Nusantaran cuisine has a rather more spicy taste than OTL Indonesian cuisine. This is because of Nusantara's access to spices.
- Zhemchukan cuisine is influenced by Chinese, Spanish, Russian, Mongolian, Central Asian, Balkan and Caucasian cuisines, primarily because of Russia's encouragement of Balkan, Caucasian and Central Asian migration into Zhemchuka.
- Indian cuisine is primarily vegetarian, although there are some meat dishes that are inspired by Prussian and Scandinavian meat dishes.

Actually, that was the last update, unless you could give me ideas on how I can improve this TL since I'm planning to make a rewrite. Some of the ideas would still be kept around, but now I might change the TL's plot lines. Now, which ideas do you like for the rewritten version? (Another version is in the works, but it will be a collaboration TL between myself and another author):

- Swedish-Prussian Commonwealth existing, which in turn displaces the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. There will be four kinds of Germans in total should this idea succeed: Swiss Germans, Reich Germans (possibly led by Denmark), Austrian Germans (Austria-Bavaria) and Prussian Germans (Prussia in union with Sweden). Instead of a German Raj, we can have a Swedish-Prussian Raj or partition India between Persia, Sweden-Prussia and China. (the Chinese could get the east, plus Burma and maybe the lands around Delhi)

- Improved Ottoman Navy that enables them to lay a claim in the New World. (a couple of islands or an Ottoman Cuba as an alternative to British Cuba)

- Danish East Indies and Dutch Australia. The Dutch would play a larger role while the Swedish-Prussians could also control large territories in North America. (Vinland, anyone?)

- A triple dynastic union between Russia, Korea and Japan. (Russia would strong arm the Japanese to make amends to the Koreans)

- A Greek dominated Balkan empire with either the cadet branch of the Romanovs or a native Greek dynasty at the helm.

That's the hard part. I'm not really good at making maps from templates. The rewrite could have some pictures and maps, but I may need someone else to help me make one.

Sounds like the main Nordic nations will end up germanized.

How much of the Balkan would belong to this empire?
The more it controls, the more a dynasty from outside, i.e. Romanovs is preferable to native Greeks, unless you are aiming at creating a short-lived empire.

The Nordic nations are partially Germanized IOTL unless of course, Prussia takes on a Scandinavian character. As for Greece, the Romanov on the Greek throne would be a bit better. Grand Duke Constantine would have fitted the role of the Greek king.
 
Nietzsche, I need the borders starting in 1547, and also a map that is depicted in an alternate 1700s where Russia has Mongolia and Manchuria. Here are the details on what I need for the map:

1) 1612: Poland-Lithuania occupies Russian territory up to the Volga River, with Karelia probably occupied temporarily by Sweden.

2) 1648: Poland-Lithuania annexes but occupies Prussia, and would later be thrown into revolt.

3) 1689-1700: Russia annexes Mongolia and Manchuria, while making some inroads into the Uyghur and Joseon territories.

4) 1711: Partition of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth between Russia, Hungary and Sweden.

5) 1741-1745: Prussian War of Independence and the independence of Prussia. At the same time, the Prussians would make some inroads into India.

6) 1760s: War between Prussia and China over India. Territories marked between Prussian and Chinese occupation zones.

Could you make a more detailed list and PM it? There's not much to work on here. Especially in regards to India.
 
Hey guys, I'm currently working on Ivangorod Prosperous 2.0 so any ideas would be needed to help improve it, thanks. Now I'm thinking that an independent Hungarian kingdom could control parts of the Balkans, while Aceh could survive as an independent nation while parts of the Philippines could be a bit harder to conquer.
