Cool map, like the Blade Runner reference (BTW have you heard about the new one?).

Plus are you planning on any stories within this setting?

The first full map I have created in ages. This was intended to be a Christmas gift for a friend, however I was a bit late.
So, have a Duchy of Livonia, a Baltic Union, colonized Korea.
 
fai.org.ru actually. I think that that is the Russian AH site that Serafim uses.

http://fai.org.ru/forum/index.php

Looking through it, it seems like the Russian term for 'ASB' literally translates as "Cubic Peach". Funny. XD

Yeah, I noticed that too. Say, did you see a map thread while scrolling around? I couldn't find any maps. D:

It was tucked away inside another forum.

I like it! However, the title needs a bit of fixing.

It looks like it is in Estonian, which is slightly unlikely to become the main language of a Baltic Union, but stranger things have happened.

But at the moment it uses a translative case (it literally reads "Livonian becomes a protectorate Korea"). Using a simple nominative case would be better. This would be Liivi protektoraat Korea üle (literally "Livonian protectorate over Korea).

Another possibility would be using actual Livonian. Scores of butterflies need to be slaughtered for that to happen, because Livonian is an extinct language, but it would look pretty cool, I think.

In Livonian the title would read Līvõ protektoraņt i’ļ Korea (I probably got it right, but not 100% sure, because, well, it's an extinct language).
 
I like it! However, the title needs a bit of fixing.
Thank you. I am unfamiliar with all of the rules of Estonian as I am utterly untrained in it. I will keep that in mind in the future. A lot of my one shot maps tend to involve the Baltic states and in particular Estonia and related cultures.

new_greco_persian_confrontation_by_sera_fim-dau011i.png


Description (should be more or less readable)
The Federal Republic of Atlantis - a superpower, the first economy in the world and a leader of Epimachy. Soft federation of nearly three hundred phyles(states)) of whom are Order, the city-states, principalities, republics, communes and so on. Excellent flexibility allows to combine very different regimes within the same country. There are a state of LGBT, Republic under the supervision of technocrats scientists, the area under the direct control of corporations, noble monarchy and anarchist commune without any Government. Of all of them only requires freedom of movement, freedom to vote, and the single currency. The abundance of different companies in the same system the strength and weakness of Atlantis. On the one hand it has become a business card and the personification of the Atlantis Dream - a simple idealist guy can come to some phyle, and with the help of his mind and cunning to build a perfect society. (the classic story in atlantis films). To this we can add tremendous economic flexibility, the rapid spread of innovations, constant competition, the ability to choose the society to your liking, and so on. On the other hand a relatively weak central government and libertarian ideology led to the logical outcome - the transition of control over the country to the globalists and transnational corporations. Thus by the mid 10-ies of all power was concentrated in transnational capital, and the country is gradually degenerates into a corporatocracy. Many states go bankrupt, and the bankers are bought, others are flung. Internal and external migration mitigates this process, and Atlantis is still concentrated the largest scientific and economic clusters of the world, but comfortable atmosphere evaporates and giving way for cyberpunk. But, despite this, Atlantis is still one of the most affluent communities in the world and a perfrct model for many countries around the world. Meta-goal of Poseidon (the capital city of Atlantis) - Construction of the World libertarian state, without war and conflict, where everyone can find a place for the soul, regardless of race, creed or sexual orientation. And already made some steps in this direction. Since 2020 planned merger with Florida, Colorio and Magellan. In 2025 must earn Global Partnership common customs, legal and economic space of Atlantis allies in the New World and the Old World, in Asia and in Europe. By 2030 it is planned the creation of the GP association with the Hanseatic League, the establishment of common armed forces and so on. The main obstacle Poseidon sees Persia and its economic and ideological doctrine. Therefore, since the early 2000s, is the second New Invisible War or the NewGreco-Persian confrontation (where the Greeks meant Atlanteans)

United Communist States - the superpower and the second economy in the world. Persia sat quietly until the mid-90s. Everyone knew about the grand economic experiment related to the total computerization of the economy. All knew that on their own computers built in the cult, and were considered a "bridge in utopia", all knew that the programming learn everyman. But they did not give value. The first bell rang in 1993 when Persia and its closest allies unexpected united into one state. Over the past 60 years, it was the eighth referendum on this issue, all previous ended in failure. But not at this time.The second bell rang in 1996 when the Armenian Empire fell into civil war, and with the help of Tehran turned into a communist state. The third bell rang in 1999 when the Burmese Empire slipped into a prolonged civil war and all the evidence pointed to the Persian secret service. With each crisis in Europe and the elite of Atlantis more thought and worried, but refrained from decisive action. Rubicon was passed in 2002, when the Budapest Treaty began to break down. Persia began to help Bulgarian communists and later Moldavian communists, Albanian communists, Kubanian communists and the rest. And help successfully. This rapid spread of communism has led to a series of sanctions and new militarization of Epimachy. United Communist States responded symmetrically, and in 2004 began a new Greco-Persian confrontation aka Second Invisible War.

By 2016 UCS achieved enormous success. The computerization of the economy which lasted 30 years, gave the results. Tehran unrivaled leader in everything that concerns big data, statistical forecasting, horizontal linkages, automatic accounting, and so on. 8 of the 10 most powerful supercomputers in the world are located in UCS. Persians managed to build so-called "living economy", - driven by countless algorithms system named "Zarathustra" binds all industrial enterprises of Cooperation, dynamically adapts them, controls the logistics of each other, redistribution, keeps records, cost and so on. Zarathustra is able to plan the further development of the infrastructure, industry, mining and so forth better than anyone. Rumor has it that we are talking about artificial intelligence, and in the west of the popular stories where Zarathustra initiates the end of the world, kill all humans or personally leading the rebels in the Great Lakes, but it's all nonsense and reality has nothing to do.

Automated economy provides enormous benefits and have led to the fact that UCS almost caught up with the standard of living Atlantis and the countries of Western Europe. Of course this included a full benefits package, pensions, free education, medicine and other delights of socialism. But for all the good you have to pay. Therefore, no free enterprise in the manufacturing sector. Everyone has its own identification number for the purchase / sale of and access to the Internet. Internet is physically separated from the global network. All people should officially register when buying computers. All vehicles are required radiophare, widespread video surveillance, a full translation of all the personal data in electronic form and so on. No anonymity. For hacking - shooting, for the use of unregistered software and hardware - life imprisonment, bought a car without a radiophare - conclusion for ten years. On the other hand in the area of services the country quite freely. Moreover, despite the fact that the economy is de facto planned for foreign goods market is open. In political terms, this is a one-party republic of Communist Party, which is divided by the mass fractions. For any questions not related to the general policy of the country and foreign policy is the transition to e-democracy. What else. Persia third country in the world that has been able to send a man into space and the construction of the master's own orbital station. Tehran is also sluggish race to the moon with Atlantis. (Only the Spaniards could go to the moon before)

Cooperation of Nations - network and economic bloc created by the UCS in 2006. Intended to link all communist economies in the world into a single system under the authority of Zarathustra. Since virtually the country's economy goes into Tehran's hands, all the participants Cooperation sit on a short leash. And in military terms, too.

Danish Empire - one of the richest countries in the world. Scientific, technical and political leader of Europe. Progressively Hansa expands and prepares the ground for the association with the small German states. Those do not mind. In world politics plays a role of arbitrator and has equally good relations with both the Cooperation of Nations and with Epimachy. Ideologically, Denmark as well as the whole block adheres to liberalism and scandinavian socialism. Multiculturalism is encouraged but not migration, citizenship and country of Hansa get pretty complicated. Can space (not manned) and nuclear bombs.


Axis of Evil - the world bogeyman from 1985 to 2012. It included the country of the Budapest Treaty, Armenia with the satellites and the Arab Kingdom. The axis is gradually degraded due to stagnation, corruption, gerontocracy and external interference. The collapse of the Axis of Evil has become one of the causes of the Greco-Persian conflict, and later discharged.

a) Armenian Communist states - Armenian Empire has first gone the distance in the mid 90s. The reaction mode to tighten the screws to the limit, the economy collapsed, Caucasian satellites for several years fought with the rebels in the mountains, and the end-edge of this could not be seen. In 1996, terrorists (or militia) in one day killed three senior officials of the empire than provoked mass arrests and repression. People could not resist and started a riot, which quickly escalated into a civil war. But it was over in a matter of weeks - the local Communist underground received comprehensive support from Persia, and after a month controlled much of the country. Six months later it was suppressed all the pockets of resistance and Armenia returned to normal. But as one of the closest allies of Persia. The integration into industrial network and optimization given the explosive growth of the economy and standard of living, so the Armenians are one of the closest and most ideological allies of Tehran.

b) The Budapest Treaty - the beginning of the 2000s, held last strength. Bloc members have accumulated huge debts, the economy stagnated, rotten to the core of the state apparatus. Denmark, Albion and Arabia little support "Last of the Romans," but it was not enough. The collapse has become a matter of time. The initiator was the Bulgarian Tsar whose economic reforms have led to hyperinflation and default. The people took to the streets, the government tried to disperse it, and the civil war began. At the request of the tzar of the north in the country were put troops of the Treaty, while the south proclaimed communist republic, which openly began to help UCS. Further war lasted a whole year, which is fully exhausted any possible reserves of Budapest and his friends. The troops were forced to leave, the entire block crumbled like a house of cards. In Kuban, Moldova and Albania have occurred communist revolution with a clear outcome. Hungary, Tavria and Rusnakia experienced a coup d'état and the transition to democracy.

c) Arab Kingdom - from 2002 to 2012 remains the last member "Axis of Evil". Enormous funds received from oil and gas trade was allowed to maintain a high standard of living in spite of the reactionary Islamic regime, and spend a lot of money to support the Islamic and right-wing regimes all over the world. After the fall of the Budapest Treaty Arabia seriously worried about their own safety and launched a nuclear program. The last straw was the attempt of manipulation of oil prics in 2009. The mighty of this world did not like this. Medina came from the fact that Persia and Atlantis will not allow the invasion of each other in such a strategically important region, but did not consider options in which they attack together. Tehran Poseidon and issued an ultimatum: either Medina renounces nuclear program, liberalize mode and stop to support terrorist organizations. Or will the naval blockade and intervention. The Arab elite can not go to such conditions, and to the last tried to crawl between the upper and the nether millstone. But it failed. Ultimatum expired and the country fully occupied for 26 days. Situational allies divided the country into two zones of occupation and engaged in the restructuring of reporting areas. At the site of the former kingdom appeared dozens of new states libertarian or communist orientation. De jure, they all become part of the renewed Arabian Union. But de facto it is a fiction. Start Arabian surgery was the cause of detente in relations between Persia and Atlantis, which lasted until the next Balkan crisis in 2015. Since then, the state of the peninsula quickly began to arm.


Republic of Tavria - poor spanish language state. A close ally of Atlantis. Constant conflicts with the Crimean Tatars.


Greek states - the circumstances are such that in the world there are as many as five of the Greek* states. They all share a dislike for the Communists, and the desire to create a single country, but as each fragment has its sponsors and sees this common state differently, the Great Greece remains a distant prospect.

*Hence the phrase "New Greek-Persian confrontation" has two meanings

From strong to weak:

a) Greece - Greek state the strongest, the largest supporter of the construction of Great Greece with Athens at its head. Right nationalist republic with a strong military. At the moment, it has made the creation of a united Greek army to repel a hypothetical attack by UCS. On friendly terms with the United States of Mediterranean.

b) Constantinople - a powerful financial center. Just like any other - is cosmopolitan. The authorities are most Greeks agree to Big Greece, but on their own terms and with him at the helm. Grappling for leadership with Athens. Is friends with Denmark.

c) Aegean Federation - libertarian paradise created in the image and likeness of Atlantis. The population consists of 2/3 of the Greeks, the rest is Spanish, Italians, Jews, Turks, and many others. All live in peace and friendship, but not everyone wants to Big Greece. Friendly with Atlantis

d) Pont - a multi-party republic led by a coalition of centrist and left-wing. Was an ally of Atlantis by the end of the 2000s, later disappointed and became neutral. Pont wants to see neutral Big Greece.

e) Republic of Halkidiki - Shard of Bulgaria. The stumbling block of Atlantis and Persia. The government of the Greek-Bulgarian junta that wants to return to Bulgaria under its control. Not recognized about half of the world. Halkidiki - the main agitator for Great Greece, for the Right Orthodox Greek-Bulgarian Empire. De facto overseas territory of Atlantis.


Spanish Federal Republic - anarcho-liberal parliamentary republic. Ally of Atlantis. Gradually divided into Iberian part of which is less successful, and that the African which becomes poor by the day. Together with Algeria fights against Free Moroccan State. Probably lose all overseas possessions in the near future.

Switzerland - neutral, rich. What did you expect to hear?

Russian Union - still anarcho-liberal soft federation. The difference in living standards in the cities of over one million and the province is growing every year. The government says that everything is going according to plan. Moscow quarreled with Atlantis when it decided not to participate in the confrontation with the Persians and took a neutral position. At the moment, trying to reconcile the libertarian model with partial automation industry.

Italy - one-party republic. For nearly 30 years in power it is anti-clerical and atheistic regime, struggling with the legacy of the Roman World. Economic and social policies were not able too, so in the mid-2010s the country heading for the abyss in all spheres of life. It is very likely in the near future will start a civil war.

South German Union - internal structure largely similar to Atlantis. The right-wing forces in power. In foreign policy adheres to neutrality, although the Union is actively call and Mediterranean Commonwealth, and Hansa, Club and Atlantis.

Rusnakia - multiparty liberal republic. Authorities decade stand at a crossroads and do not know where to go. To Denmark? To Persia? To Atlantis? For this reason, foreign policy is very unstable. But economically stable growth, albeit from a low start.


Mediterranean Commonwealth - economic alliance led by the USM
Comprises:

a) United States of the Mediterranean - the strongest state of Africa and Europe. Strong Hispanic right democracy, which aims to reunite the Post-Pleroma Europe. In foreign policy maneuvering between Atlantis and Persia. It has some serious problems with migrants from former Spanish colonies. Can into space.

b) France - Alexandria right hand. Presidential republic with big ambitions. Wants in alliance with the USM to steer the whole of Europe.

c) Sicilian Papacy - a theocracy headed by the Pope. The closest ally of UWB. Actively preparing for the liberation of Rome from the atheists.

d) Greece - all is said.

e) Yugoslavia - one-party republic with the ideology of Pan-Slavism. Remember the times of the Spanish Empire with nostalgia.

f) Israel - the normal Jewish state, nothing interesting.

g) Corsica and Sardinia - boring and poor island nations. Source of migrants.


Great Albion - a reaction authoritarian right-wing regime. It is populated by English and Irish Catholics, blacks, and southern Europeans. Practically the only state in the world which professes the ideology of the Roman World, and trying to build its policy adhering to the doctrine. Average results. On the one hand the problem with economy and high corruption. On the other hand in clean streets, easy to find a common language with the former Spanish colonies. And the segregation of blacks is finally over. The segregation ended only in the late 1990s

Nova Zeelandia - a former Dutch colony. Richest states of the continent, and a haven for dissidents from Great Albion. People is living quietly and peacefully. Ally of Atlantis.

Highfolland - a former Danish colony, therefore populated by Scandinavians and Germans. High tech liberal state, an ally of Atlantis. The disgusting relationship with the Great Albion due to land of Vancouver.

Magellanian Federation - a high tech libertarian state, a close ally of Atlantis and its assembly plant. Most of the population descendants of the French and Spanish, so the language of the two.

Republic of Florida - Protestant state, much more homogeneous than the northern neighbor. The developed post-industrial state. Like the rest of the continent is close friends with Poseidon.

Communist State of Macronesia- a rogue state. Radical communists who do not agree with the ideology of Tehran and require world revolution of the workers and peasants. Similar to the period of Mao's China 50th. Very poor, totalitarian, closed borders. The source of permanent instability in the region. For this reason, all the neighbors united against Bogor.


Indian Union - confederate state focused on Persia. Consists of two parts:

a) Communist State of India - developed industrial secular state fully integrated into the economy of the Cooperative of Nations.

b) Federation of Hindustan - poor agricultural country with thousands of peoples and problems. Undergoing rapid industrialization due to the fact that Persia is going to transfer here its industry


Cambodia - assembly plant of Atlantis and Europe. Ally of Poseidon. The developed industrial state.

Burmese Federation - a formidable empire and a strongest state of Indochina with its space program in the early 90's. Amorphous federation with a weak power after the revolution and civil war. On the outskirts of the constant national conflicts. In the center of constant ideological conflicts. The country is teetering on the brink of civil war has long been

United Kingdom of Thaivet - relentlessly sought to the collapse in the early 90s. But thanks to the revolution in Burma could spend a small victorious war, to receive supply of confidence to be reformed and to take the vacant place of the main allies of Atlantis in Indochina. Now it is quite successful constitutional monarchy and an assembly plant.

Eastasia - Asian Switzerland. Richest state eastern then Urals with the exception of Hong Kong. Ally of Atlantis.

Korea - consistent ally of Atlantis. Quite developed libertarian democracy

China - loyal but a poor ally of Atlantis. Closed in themselves, preparing for liberation march to the west.

Islamic Republic of East Bangladesh - militarized Islamic regime embraced the idea of the return of the Western Bangladesh
