This map came to me in a dream last night. Can anybody explain the new shape of Kansas?
Kansas is the US shrunk down and flipped horizantally.
The US joined in on the side of the UK after the Soviets surrendered. Pearl Harbour didn't happen ITTL. Japan basically said "fuck it" and declared war on the USA. Australia getting New Guinea and the US keeping the Philippines was part of the treaty that ended the war.
Yes. I know that. I meant, can anyone explain WHY Kansas looks like a reversed USA? Did they just go mad at some point and invade their neighbors?
The Soviet Nuclear strike of 1984 was intented to "pave every inch of America." However, due to poorly designed guidance systems, the resulting devastation exactly matches a small, reversed United States where Kansas farmers once grew grain.
A map of the world presented in "Petain's Panic" by Jim Bob. A full copy of the TL can be found here, hosted on the excellent ChangingTheTimes.Net.
I have intentionally used only parts of the UCS, to placate both the UCS lobby and the anti-UCS lobby. Aren't I sly?
Why does Germany directly annex Lithuania?
Why wasn't Ukraine annexed? Is that related to the POD?
How does the HRE still exist with the reorganization done by Napoleon?The World, c. 1858 CE.
And what happened to France and Canada?
BTW:
That's the German Confederation.
ITTL, Ferdinand I was not born retarded, and became a capable ruler. He dismisses Metternich, and tones down on reactionary policies, proclaiming that, "To prevent the excesses caused by revolution from below, the state must conduct revolution at the top," and liberalizes significantly. Thus, Austria is spared from the violence of the 1848 Revolution, and was in a stable position to take command in the Frankfurt Parliament, creating the United German States- a constitutional monarchy in the model of Britain, with Ferdinand as Emperor of the Germans, King of Austria and Bohemia. He appoints three of his uncles as Kings of Hungary, Croatia, and Gallicia/Ruthenia, freeing them. He retains powerful influence, though.
Austria also wages war on Prussia, with the rest of the Federation behind it, and destroys the Prussian rule over northern Germany. The Grand Duchy of the Lower Rhine become an Austro-Bohemian crownland, as does Luxembourg, a Prussian protectorate. Much of the Prussian Sachsen Province becomes the Kingdom of Magdeburg.
Also, Hanover changed its succession law by a Royal Act, making Victoria heir to Hanover as well. Hence, it is still a British dominion.
France: split up after Bonaparte. Kingdom of Aquitaine is a British dominion, and the Kingdom of Occitania was made a state for the Orleans dynasty.
Canada: US and Britain split the Louisiana Territory rather than one gobbling it all. America took the trade-rich south, and Britain took the fur-rich north. Both prospered enough that both were happy with the arrangement. Britain was far more lenient with the natives, giving them autonomy as Tribal States, an equivalent to Princely States in India. In 1838, they granted Upper and Lower Canada status as dominions, later the same was applied to other BNA colonies.
Oh, fie and feh. Treaties can make borders just as easily as geography/

Now that "In at the Death" has been out for a bit, would anyone care to conjecture a map of the "Post GW2" woeld of HT?
Would be greatly appreciated (and discussion would ROCK!)

Nice Job on this map I think the way Greece looks here is probably the way they should have existed today with Constantinople.

Interesting. I thought it could be the German Confed, but wasn't sure with Prussia out.
