Couldn't resist making your own, could you?
I like the reversal of fates with the Soviet Union and France.
Cool idea! You should break it down by county if you can.
ArcMap is calling to you...
Are y'all excluding other countries to keep it simple or because you haven't been to any?
It's a neat concept.
That's a big map.

It is rather, I might just send it over to the new thread for the sake of bandwith.
It should be calling lots of people. If not ArcMap, then any other type of GIS software.
I love properly projected maps. Maps of single countries and continents really shouldn't be greatly distorted.

Leg room. Bruchmann wants Germany to be the dominant power on the Continent, and so he is now attempting to neutralize France by way of his geopolitical payday loan of an intervention.

ArcMap was seriously cumbersome and glitchy. I had less problems than many of my peers yet still hope to never have to use that thing.
A alternate world where the continents are drastically different in shape and countries were never formed leaving over 1000 city-states scattered all over the Earth. I didn't really think about realistic-ness while making this so you may count this as ASB.
Geographic PoDs are ASB by default, since anything that alters the development of continents would surely prevent humanity from developing in any remotely historical fashion.
Well, not quite, for example Doggerland surviving due to an averted Storegga Event wouldn't have too much effect; Sapiens sapiens would still end up on top and there is nothing stopping them from forming civilizations. The same is true with plenty of other relatively small geographic PODs; the Netherlands could also be wiped out by said event for instance; the Suez Seaway could reopen; various lakes and rivers could avoid extinction or change courses...
Sure, but what he's saying is that a scenario like "In a world where Doggerland survived what effect would that have on World War One?" is ASB since it would have altered human history so much as to make the question impossible.
A artificial Doggerland (I mean, built by humans) would work though. Ever heard of the plans to recover the Doggerland landmass?
Indeed, I remember but can't find some proposal to put a dam across the Channel and dry out vast areas of the North Sea - some Atlantropa-type mega project I think?
Still, I do find geological what ifs very interesting, I've read a few bits on how a surviving Doggerland would affect Europe and the British Isles. It doesn't make them any less ASB (in the colloquial sence) if you ignore the massive butterflies though.
