I have to admit that I've been a bit positively shocked when the sea mammal that mustn't be named became a map here some rounds ago.
And this first (and hopefully not only) entry now in MotF 9 makes me feel the same again. And it fits so well to current international politics and shows a dilemma between political sovereignity and territorial integrity with a POD at Chernobyl, seven weeks after my birth date and the ramifications spanning my entire life. And this scenario reminds me of how the world could still be worse even if OTL currently looks like become worse and worse.
And as I'm at it, I'll re-issue one of my old proposals, especially after the Taliban came back and Roe v Wade is at stake:
Our Father's Father Says That Things Were Better Then
Make a map depicting an attempted or successful socio-economic or socio-cultural political backlash.
One note: The title of the challenge is from a line in the song Perfect World from Ace Of Base's album The Bridge. I'd call it my emotional centerpoint of the band's legacy.
Our father's father says that things were better then / How easy they forget / In every page in every book of history / A thousand tears were shed
