Map of the Fortnight: Main Discussion Thread

First, congratulations to @Kaiser_Jaeger for winning Map of the Month 5 with "Our Holy Nation!"

Second, there is still about a week left to throw your hat into the ring for MotF 171: A Nation is Born!

Third, these are some of the challenges I am considering for the next round:
  • Like A Wolf On The Fold - make a map showing an attack or an invasion.
  • The Empty Quarter - make a map of a region thought to be uninhabited.
  • The Thirteenth Apostle - make a map that features an alternate sect or religion.
If you have a preference among these or a proposal for a future challenge, post it here and let me know!
 
I quite like The Empty Quarter, though I'd amend the description somewhat to "Make a map of a region or country with a population density of less than 1 people per km²/3 people per mi²." After all even the real Empty Quarter has some people living in it and it should give participants some more options.
 
I am aware, and I made an oblique reference to it in the "controversies" section. What I wasn't sure was how useful it would be on a multi-million year scale...
Huh, missed that somehow, my bad.
You do have a point about utility though.
I suspect they would use all available techniques and see which agree.
 
Congratulations to @Xibalba for winning MotF 171 with "Unie van Syndicalistische Raadrepublieken"!

As a reminder, there is about a week left to join me in submitting an entry for MotF 172: The Empty Quarter!

And finally, here are some challenges under consideration for the next round:
  • The Thirteenth Apostle - make a map that features an alternate sect or religion.
  • Third Place Ain't So Bad - with a POD after 1945, make a map where the Third World ends up better off than in OTL.
  • I Come To Bury Caesar - make a map showing the effects of an important person’s death.
If you have a preference among these, or a different challenge to suggest, post it here!
 
Just a heads up - I will be traveling tomorrow, so no one panic if the new threads are slightly delayed. :p This means that you all have a little longer to voice opinions on the next topic or sneak in an entry for the current round!
 
Congratulations to @Iserlohn for winning MotF 172 with "Guyane-Cayenne"!

Anyone out there working on an entry for MotF 173? If there are no entries by the end of next week, I may go ahead and extend this round.

In the meantime, please feel free to suggest topics for future rounds! Some currently under consideration include:
  • Third Place Ain't So Bad - with a POD after 1945, make a map where the Third World ends up better off than in OTL
  • Another Star On The Flag - make a map of a U.S. state that does not exist in OTL.
  • The Fruited Plain - make a map related to the agriculture of a country or region.
