A map ive been working on a few days now. USA with more equal states population/size wise than it is in our timeline. I excluded Alaska and Hawaii because the map would be too big with them. Most of the state names and the capitals are taken from the 38-states map, and i used Highlanders technique for dashed lines
I concur
Russell - insane concept, beautiful map.

Good job
Washington, DC begs to differ.
That's Satan's, the Wiccan's, or the Illuminati's fault, or possibly all three.
Nice. I look forward to reading it when you get back to it.
Thanks
Incase you want to know the USSR does have territory in East Tokyo. This allows the allies to keep routes to West Berlin open in exchange for routes to East Tokyo.
Heh. Cool map.
Nice map Gryphon.

And remember, it was planned by a frenchman.
Communist China is a recognized country, seperate from the RoC. Germany was a the the one made weaker, due to trench warfar on it's western front. Thus the USSR could attack Japan more.

How is that cliché thing different?
It's not cliché at all. It's the exact opposite of a cliché. In my four years on AH.com, I have seen precisely one other map which has a Republic of Canada derived from the 1830s Canada Revolts.
I think you may be confusing cliché with "Things that you don't like"

Yeah - the Cliche is "Canada gets eaten like Mexico". Grrr.
...Although IOTL the '37 was pretty laughable, which is probably why it's not a usual POD...
Not that total implausibility would stop people, of course.
I thought the cliché was making Canada a Kingdom? Seriously, something like at least half the NA-centric maps posted here include a "Kingdom of Canada," swear to god.It's not cliché at all. It's the exact opposite of a cliché. In my four years on AH.com, I have seen precisely one other map which has a Republic of Canada derived from the 1830s Canada Revolts.

Half? More like a half of one third, In the NA centric maps I've seen Canada is ether British, American, or Balkanized.
And Uber China.
Um, I was talking about Breedoks map in that part you qouted..
Ouch! if you're going to make some others maps of this, can i make some suggestions ?
La République Française
République Flamande
République Palatine
République du Luxembourg
République Rhénane
Genoa is Gênes and Mainz, Mayence.
What's your POD? OTL, the lands of those four republics to the north of France had been annexed and departmentalised by 1796. Also, in 1795 the UP had been conquered and reformed as the Batavian Republic.
To get your boundaries, you have to butterfly away Danton et al. who championed France attaining her "natural frontier," the left bank of the Rhine.
You're gonna be a Republic and you're gonna like it, by gum!Stupid scary yanks making us back down from FULL KINGDOM STATUS mutter mutter.
Srsly - cliche althists have no Canada. It rarely shows up, for some reason, as though its very existence was the least likely thing ever to happen.
Some other frequently absent countries: Costa Rica, Iraq (inevitably part of some Ottoman/Persian/Arabian conglomeration), Rwanda & Burundi (despite the fact that they have pre-colonial origins), Korea (a convenient prize for China or Japan), and the small Balkan states such as Serbia, Romania, and Bulgaria (always part of some greater Greece/Turkey/Russia/Austria).
I'd like to hear the story behind some of those mentions at some point-- what's so special about Costa Rica, fr'instance? I thought it was previously part of the Captaincy or Viceroyalty or I forget the term of Guatemala before the Latin American revolutions, so was just as likely to be clumped in with a USCA as anything else.
Rwanada and Burundi sound interesting, though. Oughta look 'em up at some point, I guess.
Are you referring to his extensions of them? Because other than that, your signature seems to be doing the same thing.
Actually his signature is the right way to use ellipses, since it's a pause between thread and again and then the trailing off at the end of the sentence. It's denoting a kind of sigh, the inevitability of Krall wining a thread.
"Why is Iraq missing? 'cause it was frickin' created by Winston Churchill to make a Hashemite Prince happy. "Thanks for your support during the great war, now here are some nomads, camels and some cities..."
the US should do the world a favor and break it up into a nice little federal republic,like Switzerland or Germany..."
That's how it should be. And I only included the last set of ellipses because I didn't know if he intended to imply Germany and Switzerland weren't nice federal republics.
Now to maps. Anyone know exactly where in panama the Darien Scheme was supposed to be? It's annoying trying to figure it out with the maps from the era and I can't find a big enough map of Panama
Oh, stop whining... there are better things to criticize in that post than the ellipsis...
