BAM! Sorry, I cant attach it. Even very low quality jpg wont comrpess enough, apparently. (If somebody can save it on something more permanent than imageshack Id be grateful)
German map, English legend. Because the basemap was German, but at least the explanatiosn should be readable for the majority here.
Postnapoleonic Germany 1842. There was no Conference of Vienna or similar. Napoleon went from bictory to victory, but it was too much for France or her allies to bear, in terms of economy or manpower. Over time, the Napoleonic system degenrated, and France itself eventually imploded into a multitude of radical republics and monarchist states. Germany, thsu set free, saw no radical reorganisation like IOTL at Vienna, but worked with what was there, so to say, especially as ITTL Russia was knocked out from serious world politics (as a secondary PoD) by a powerful plague.

A short npte concerning Hesse: Ironically, even though both states have extended their name, Hesse-Kassel and Hesse-Darmstadt still sound alike. During the Mediation of 1803, Darmstadt gained (for the territories of Hanau-Lichtenebrg it possesed in the Alsace) the Duchy of Westphalia formerly belonging to the Archbishopric of Cologne. Eventually the Hessian Grand-Duke started to call himself Grand-Duke of Hesse and Westphalia, just as IOTL, he started to call himself of Hesse and by Rhine when he got Mainzs in exchange for Westphalia.
However, the ruler of Hesse-Kassel managed to grab most of the Kingdom of westphalia when it broke down. The Kingdom was erronosuly named from the beginning (ironically, most of its territory was where Eastphalia used to be), but to gain a royal title, the Kasseler took over the name, and hence called himself King of Westphalia and Hesse.
Hence why there is a Kingdom of Westphalia and Hesse, and a Grandduchy of Hesse and Westphalia.
And by the way, the Kingdom of the Netherlands is bonapartist. Of course.

Not quite. Flor is flower in spanish. Florida hence means just "flowered" (female form, elsewise florido), I assume.
Thats what happens when you put the tea over the text. Nice job though. It looks live a could render.
I thnk the text looks good. It blends in. What does the last sentebce you said mean?

You know, Euio, if you messed with Photoshop I'm sure you could achieve the same Tea effect, but with less preperation.
But it doesn't look like you wrote in ink It looks like you wrote in parchment paper.
A cloud render is an filter in GIMP, as shown here
Maybe. The particular way I did this tea effect used 5 layes, and that's not counting any of the actual map or text!
Hmm. According to my calculations, if this thread continues to grow at its current rate, we'll need a new thread in.... 46 days?
Someone want to check my math? Even taking people commenting o the ew thread into account, that seems excessively fast.
12 hours -11.63 (time thread was started) = .37
.37 + 20.97 = 21.34 (hours thread has been open.
21.22 = 98 (# of posts)
---x ---- 5242 (total # of posts in last thread)
x = 1135.05 (number of hours thread will last)
1135.05 / 24 = 47.29 (days thread will last)
47 - 1 = 46 days left.
Huh.
Edit: I'm having trouble with spaces. Dashes are just to force orientation
Edit2: An easy way of doing this is to multiply pages by time open. We have roughly a little less then 5 pages in a little less then a day. 263 (pages in the last thread) / 5 (pages per day) = 52.6
