Show a city in a totally different place than OTL.

How can a city be in a different place? Like, a city with the same name?

Yes that's right. For example a city called Boston in Africa or Paris in America.

OK that could be fun. I actually think I have an idea on how to do it.

MotF 225: Under The Whiplash - Entry Thread

I was thinking about it and I decided to make sure? Is "Under the Whiplash" essentially a post-revolutionary (revolution in the sense of sudden change, not necessarily violent) country? Or is there some nuance I'm missing?

Yep, pretty much! Revolution, coup, unexpected election result, anything along those lines is fine.

I'm not sure if something like this has been done before:

Beyond the Shimmering Fog
Make a map based on falsely believed geographic knowledge (such as the Island of California or the Great Inland Lake of Australia). So basically the stuff that mapmakers put on their maps that was later found to be inaccurate and removed in future maps.

 

[TapReflex]

Bat Country Show a region where the scary wildlife is a big consideration for the locals
There is No Honor Here Depict a world where a large region is intentionally left undisturbed by local powers
Death of a City Make a map showing the decline/end of a once great city

I second There is No Honor Here.

I will admit, Bat Country makes me chuckle. Would be curious to see what folks come up with for that...

I'm working on it, but I'm not sure if I'll have it ready on time. I was hoping to get it done this weekend but then I was set with a two day meeting

Alright, with only one entry so far, I am going to go ahead and extend this round until Monday, October 12.

I think I could provide a job for October 12, but it's hard to balance work at the university.

 

[TapReflex]

I am working on an entry now! This week was unfortunately busy, but now I have the time to not make it look like poop

 

[Comte de Dordogne]

For the MOTF 225, is it possible to show several sudden changes in the policy of the state in question?
Moreover, are fictional worlds allowed?
