Just gotta say "Thankee" for even considering to nominate one of my maps ^^
Shall I presume that the Freudians and other minorities in the region of northeast Italy have no lost this flange amount of fiscal autonomy in favor of being squeezed to keep Venice a place for tourists form the mainland? As for the Bosniaks, I think they might have some allies with the Bosniacs in the area of the Sanjak that you have near the Montenegrin border. There would also be plenty of lobbyists in Western Europe who are against the removal of Muslims from the political map. It seems that Kosovo, Albania, Turkey, and perhaps the rightfully fearful Montenegro would not stand for this. Also, is Gagauzia lumped in with Transnistria? Does Adjara still autonomy? Will Hungary go for the Magyar lands in Serbia and will Finland make a quick dash into NATO without negotiations so that the Russians don't invade first? And props for an independent country for the Belgian German-Speaking Community.
Sketching in the World-M Rivers is in progress...

This my interpretation of the year 2014 in the game "CNG: Rise of Nations" from the Moderated Games thread and in my humble opinion, one of the best games ever to come out of the sub-forum. Starting with a Peshawar-Lancers scenario in 1863, the game developed in an alternate technological direction, culminating in a very 1950s/1960s view of the future (Jetsonpunk) and a three-way cold war between disunited liberals, militant communists and dangerously competent fascists.
Major credit must also be given to Promethean, who did his own tribute back in 2013. I decided to expand upon the general premise and structure of his map with more information, especially on the space activities of the blocs.
Promethean´s map can be viewed here.

Not at all. I honestly think another war involving the same sides as in the 1992-1995 war is highly improbable, but I wouldn't say impossible.
As far as the Bosniak state goes, I don't think the Bosniaks would stand alone, or would have to suffer an arms embargo like the last time, which would open the possibility of linking up the Krajina-Bosnia-Herzegovina pockets trough corridors. You would still end up with territorial concessions, but a contiguous state is quite possible. If the Bosniaks were armed and ready like the Serbs and Croats were from the start, the war would have had a very different outcome.
It's funny how 9/10 of every "future" map has Bosnia and Herzegovina completely dissolving and annexed by its neighbors, when the best chance for that has come and gone in 1992 and will most likely never come again. The Bosniaks were severely outgunned in 1992 and yet they still managed to hold out 3 years more than any serious military analyst could have predicted, so I would definitely not underestimate them. Give them a military and weapons from the start, and you can expect them to give a good fight.
I support that proposal
Thank you
Thanks. We could also try to aid and abet each other, michaelk. I will start a new thread for this purpose.
I love it! Please progress further, please, as soon as possible!
Yes, they do. Or at least zones mapped and claimed, if not actively populated/exploited. AgentDark is the resident scary nut in MGs, and his Aztecs pioneered that IIRC. As to the 'why' of it, I'm not sure.
I'm not sure I understand... Freudians?
Hmm, yeah, like I said, the Balkans are going to be revised anyway.
Well, it's not the same country, if that's what you're asking, and neither is it in the exact same situation. Whereas Transnistria is in roughly the same state as today, a Russian-backed separatist country, Gagauzia is a more recent secession (believed to be Russian-backed too), but not a very violent one.
Yes, certainly. Georgia is a rather free, prospering nation - unlike neighbours like Azerbaijan (mistakenly shown as a NATO ally; it should be a neutral state), Armenia and the Russian Caucasus.
Nope, since they're both within the Russian sphere of influence. Putin doesn't want conflicts within this, and wouldn't allow his puppet (Orbán) to even consider this idea.
Why would the Russians ever invade in the first place? I'm afraid that, although the EU isn't a superpower or anything, attacking a EU member state is a step too far for Putin in this scenario.
Yes, yes! They're independent and soevereign, but also a de jure protectorate of Luxembourg (army, foreign relations and some other things are taken care of by the Luxembourgers).
Yeah it's probably not going to happen. Croatia is also inside the EU nowadays...
I agree. But it's unlikely to happen again and give the Bosniaks a country of their own in the future.
I had no clue how common it was to expect a dissolution of Bosnia and Herzegovina, really.

Thanks, and yeah it can get a bit silly at times with the output of some mapmakers (though I've been more focused on the OTL Councils this year). Thanks for the sentiment though
.Thanks. They were originally supposed to be the centerpiece of the map, but I got carried away lol.
How did Russia get Korea? What's up with Mexico and Central America? and lastly what's the POD?This doest compare to any of the other maps in this thread, but I might as well post it. Year's 1890
Seeing my name on it gives me hope that someone will nominate me
The amount new one-nomination-rule and the no-selfnomination-rule are really seeming to cut down the numbers of nominees.The continent of Europe in my TL, following the style of kuusinen's GIMP tutorial.
