That's not an empire, that's a shahdom.
If you're trying to be smug the Ottomans are a Sultanate.
If you're trying to be smug, they called themselves an İmparatorluğu, which is derived from Imperium
.Why are there 'roads' of ice throughout the planet?

A Shahdom can be an empire, and is represented in the west as such. That's why it's the Persian Empire, or the Sassanid Empire, not Persian Shahdom.
"And Spain became powerful and rich mostly because of its colonies, not the other way around."
American silver didn't really start pouring in until the 1550s: was the Empire of Charles V a mere bagatelle? Were the Tercios unable to afford pikes until after 1546? The reports I have heard re Spanish silver and gold mainly going to enrich foreign merchants and raise prices in Spain are mere airy rumor?
I suppose all those wasteful, destructive wars of the 1556-1648 period would have been unfundable without the American colonies, but...

This could so be from an ATL where technology never stagnated/devolved and we get a Persian rock band being popular by that point.
There have been several threads about a Western District of Columbia, and I made a map of one.
It is named Phoenix, Western District of Columbia but it is not where you think...
Dark buildings are museums and so forth, lighter grey are government buildings, dark grey with light outline are statues and memorials.
It is a work in progress

looks interesting..only thing id suggest is straightening the northern part of the river, tnhat flows out into the sea, into some sort of canal type thing..gives ya more park area, and sorta makes it look more straight planned like the rest
Is that like some sort of Washington Monument out at sea?
It may not be where I think it is, but the river pattern screams the site of OTL Chicago.

edit: 3 minutes too slow in posting apparently ...
I thought about it but I was just outlined the real river
Are you doing an entire city?
That would be fun but this in itself took a long time, isn't finished and is not very detailed
I was torn between a Washington Monument or a statue, but given the scale of the map it would be a Washington Monument and a pretty big pedestal, maybe a grander Statue of the Republic.
Nothing that exotic
Correct! My main inspiration is the Burnham Plan, with his proposed civic center sitting on this alternate executive mansion.
Well you get extra credit for citing references.
Europe, March 1918.
...A (mildly?) ASB Communist Revolution Map...
On the brink after two trying years of war, Hungary explodes in revolution in the fall of 1916 after that year's harvest fails due to inadequate manpower. Knowing it cannot possibly hope to continue the war, Austria calls for an immediate armistice and peace talks. In negotiations lasting months, the map of Europe is redrawn and Russia (unaware of how close they are to Austria-Hungary's fate) is awarded Galicia. For their role in bringing the conflict to a close, Hungary is allowed to keep virtually all of its territory. Germany is allowed to keep Posen Province and Southwest Africa, though it is forced to return Alsace-Lorraine to France. A Kingdom of Yugoslavia is formed. Discontent brews within the borders of all the former belligerents, and in the summer of 1917, returning Russian soldiers indoctrinated at the front by socialist agitators launch a Trotskyist rebellion that fails to be extinguished by Tsarist armies suffering from mass defections.
It is not long before news reaches the industrial centers of Germany and Italy, where strikes and demonstrations quickly shut down entire cities. Italy, its government having lost credibility with the people for their involvement in the war, is hit especially hard. By winter, demonstrations have lead to armed uprisings in Italy, with the south joining in as well. In Germany, enough of the armed forces remain loyal to the government to prevent serious armed revolt, but it is becoming increasingly obvious that reforms will be necessary to stave off future violence. The map shows March 1918.

@Every Critic as so far on that map.
About that roman empire, it's not so ASB. First of, there was a short lived Reformist emperor that was not born OTL that partially restructured and updated ERE, delaying it's collapse... by a few years, but it was rather quickly reformed by Bulgarians and Serbians. Rome itself is only the de jure, not de facto capital, and was only recently rewon in the aftermath of an anti-papal movement.
The Brits did not destroy the Aztecs, they only took that part of OTL Mexico from the Castilleans later. The Iberians where not able to expand as well as OTL due to renewed religious strife, and the shattering of Spain into many kingdoms (Navarre, Castille, Leon, Portugal, Algarve, Cadiz, Granada, Aragon, Catalonia, Nuevalencia, Murcia, and several smaller states). Panama was indeed part of Leon before their king died and the succession war between Aragon and Castille opened up, in which the Aragonese won but Castille received Panama as a sort of reconciliation prize.
Timur's empire was passed onto a very capable heir, indeed, but said heirs children split the empire into 12 separate states, one of which (The Azeri Khanate) conquered the remains of the Golden horde. Many years later, the Delhite emirs reunited the empire. Now that the last Timurid, Taraghay Emir, has died, the empire is collapsing once and for all.
Prussia's official title is 'Grand Kingdom of Brandenburg, Tyrol, Prussia, and Saxony' While the King's is 'King of Prussia in Stettin'. That should give a bit of a glimpse into their history.
About Hungary's colonies, It is mainly due to British stupidity. They had beaten down an expansionist Egypt, and taken Nubia Libya and Hejaz from them.. and having had problems in Zubiria with secessionists, they decided to sell them. After long deliberation, they sold them to Hungary because Hungary was colony less and their chief alley on continental Europe. Also, Hungary has never been unfriendly with the Castilleans and only dislikes the Romans as much as everyone else.
It seems, since no one said i shouldn't continue the series, i need to post the next. Be patient if it seems nothing has changed (rebellions did progress and the Brits did attack Brabant. ), the next will be a greater change.
