Map Continuation 3 - Map 1 - Europe

[Krall]

Here's my thoughts on Italy's history. The peninsula. Not the country.

The rise of the Two Sicilies was frightening. Very, very frightening. They took out the Pope, opening the north to horrid attacks by the "Italians". That is when the Northern italian Confederation formed. Itoriginally had 6 states: Venice, Milan, Genoa, Ferrara, San Marino, and tuscany. Now, only Milan, Venice, and Genoa are left. The last three states have formed a union of sorts, although loose. They share in a number of things, and are each their seperate own country, but in regards to defense, they "big Three" stand together.

Just my thoughts on what could happen. I didn't set the POD or anything.

That's very vague. Very, very vague.

 

[Diogenes]

So do we post our historys here, or is there another thread?

 

[Venice]

That's very vague. Very, very vague.

I purposely made it so, so as to not intrude on anyone else's history. once the other players are done with their histories, I'll finsh mine.

 

[Diogenes]

So, is that a yes or no?

 

[nakum]

That's very vague. Very, very vague.

I agree with Veniceincalifornia.We have a loose defense pact, and maybe in the future we will become something similar to the EU (On a smaller scale, of course)

 

[Venice]

Hm, I would say at least, united currencies, preferrably the "Lira", defense pact, and several shared companies and corporations...maybe a shared colonization company? The Padanian East India Company? Just an idea.

Uhnn, I like this idea. Instead of disputing among them, the Italian Republics might have joined their currencies and colonial outposts, creating a somewhat powerful league, but without a political union.

Where should we put the descriptions of the nations?

Am I the only one that thinks that you saying "uhnn" makes you sound like you're masturbating?

Make a thread for it, if you want to.

Yes, it makes more sense...

Named Map!

 

[Venice]

I believe its Sampi, and I thought we changed Burgundy so that it didn't have a corridor...

 

[Trovador]

@ VeniceinCalifornia,

I lay my claim to United Kingdoms of Sápmi

and in the last maps we reduced the uber-Occitania, enlarged a bit Burgundy and created Milan
[post #263 is the last one IIRC]

It's Sápmi.

Named Map!

2 to 3 of those are named incorrectly:

1. Oslo is Norway;
2. Hansa Germany is the North German Federation [I believe];
3. [disputable] I don't think we ever gave South Germany/Bavaria an official name, or an owner, for that matter.

 

[Venice]

It might be wise to balkanize southern Germany, so that it looks a bit realistic.

EDIT: Just kidding.

 

[Trovador]

I'll let Bavaria because it's easily editable =p.

Bump. Maybe you could answer this question for me. I'm trying to think of a good imperial capital for the GE, and I've narrowed it down to two cities: Downpatrick and Wexford. I don't know which one to choose, however, as I want to use one that's close to the geographic centre of the GE's European kingdoms, and from the renderings I did, those are both rather close. Ideas?

 

[Venice]

What about Bath, in Wales?

But Wexford sounds cool.

Wexford is closer to the geographical centre of your European territories as it's in Southeast Ireland, whereas Downpatrick is in the Northeast.

However, capital cities are almost never decided on by geographical location, but by their size and historical importance.

 

[Venice]

So...Cardiff? That's the OTL capital of Wales.
