Have a once large and powerful empire become a tiny nation, barely able to support itself.

Really nice map, two questions: What's the trope being reversed in your map? How long did it take you to make the map?
Thank you very much!
It's a play on the Operation Sea Lion trope. Switching out one implausible invasion hoping to end a war for another.
Took me about 5-6 hours over the last two weeks but it could be more.
What program/style do you use?Thank you very much!

I use GIMP for all my maps. I dont understand what you mean by style if you could ellaborate on that.

I used part of this as a base map and traced relevant information on separate layers. The additional information I made up as I went.

Nice find, was actually gonna use the basemap for a Generalplan Ost map. So you use the pen tool?
I used the pencil tool for most parts but I used this map to experiment with paths as well. For some of the backgrounds I used pattens.
Good luck with your map, I'm looking forward to seeing it. If have any more questions just send me a PM.

Left Turn At Albuquerque- Map of an apparently unrealistic randomid empire or micro-state or anything in between, where the map or caption explains why they exist. Could be space-fillers, millennia old states, very lost tribes, odd coincidence, or whatever.
I don't have any ideas for one, it's just a pitch that I didn't see. Or missed.

The Cake Was A Lie, Eat The Humble Pie
Make a map where a polity returns fettered into a community which it proudly used to withdraw from.
Yeah, of course I mean Brexit. But you can also take a re-integration of a recently reformed former pariah state into the international community. Or just Catalonia. Have your cake and eat it too. Cheers.

Still, it's a good contest idea if you remove the ongoing politics from it. The readmission of the CSA to the USA could be another example.
