I've loved this series!
What are things like in Russian-backed Scotland?
Is Brazil considering doing anything with their European holdings?
Is there anywhere where you could live a "good" live by OTL standards?

Anyhoo, here's a commission for they-know-who-they-are.
An interesting world, but the what's with the curving border in Africa?A scenario I've made.
The Great Experiment Failed
SNIP
- The name of this universe refers to the apparent disappearance of republicanism as a major ideology on this world. There are a few "republics", like Kansas, Deseret, the Boer states, and Switzerland, though the fairness of their democracies is questionable. The most legitimate successor to the United States, the Kingdom of America, is a constitutional monarchy. Very few people oppose the monarchy.
- The POD of this universe is indeterminate. History appears to gone as OTL up until the outbreak of the American Civil War. Britain and France supported the Confederacy from the start, which led to a quick victory and the dissolution of the United States. Britain took some land while the Confederacy grew very large. The CSA helped France subjugate Mexico.
- The Confederacy broke apart in the late 1870s. France, Spain, and Mexico pounced on it, carving out their own protectorates though Spain and Mexico took land outright. Britain and Mexico continued their expansion throughout the US remnants as the 19th century wore on. Belgium was handed the "Virginia Free State" in 1898 after slave rebellions wracked it and drove it into bankruptcy.
- Two rival systems of alliances appeared by the early 20th century. The United Kingdom forged a strategic alliance with Germany, and by extent Italy, which put them against the Franco-Austrian alliance. Russia aligned with the Anglo-German alliance because of their clashes with Austria in the Balkans. There were several crises that almost dragged the world into war.
- The Grand Alliance and Pact of Paris, in a rare show of cooperation, allowed Britain to occupy vast portions of the Middle East as the Ottoman Empire collapsed in a civil war in 1917.
- China is a modernized power and is looking pretty scary with its large army and loyal population.
- By 1935, Britain is decaying. Though its subjects would find it hard to believe, the far-flung territories of the empire are just becoming too hard to manage.
- The world stands on the brink of war. The rival alliances are engaged in a seemingly everlasting arms race with no end in sight. Everyone knows war is coming, but no one knows what will set it off.
Looks like the website is finally working for me again, so here's the latest map I've been working on for a while now. The scenario involves a certain alien bat leading the Romans to global domination... there's more detail on the dA page itself.
I just drew a border that had no meaning. It just divides Algeria/Sahara with the more coastal part of West Africa.An interesting world, but the what's with the curving border in Africa?

Hmm. Upon consideration, the Pakistan bit bothers me: Islamic political fundamentalism was hardly as powerful, or as radical, as it is today in the 1950s. Groups like Isil are the results of the failure of secularism over decades, the examples of other successful revolts, and in the case of both Isil and the Taliban in Iraq, foreign invasion and occupation leaving a hollowed-out, illegitimate state in their wake. Did the Indian reds try cultural genocide out on the Indus region Muslims, or something?
Well OK, fair enough. But it does look a bit weird.I just drew a border that had no meaning. It just divides Algeria/Sahara with the more coastal part of West Africa.
I'll give you that. My goal was to create arbitrary borders that look as if they could be OTL, though obviously aren't.Well OK, fair enough. But it does look a bit weird.
The rest look fine, its just that one that stands out.I'll give you that. My goal was to create arbitrary borders that look as if they could be OTL, though obviously aren't.
Kinda just made this quickly as we don't have that many depictions of the Melbourne, Australia area and I was bored. I could add to it if anyone is interested.

This looks awesome, but wouldn't there be more autonomous zones in Siberia if it were run by the French, since the while the Russians only had to cross the Urals, the French would have to cross the entire earth to get there? Or is that part of the POD?French Siberia
