I wasn't satisfied with my old map, so i remade it and added a few details
The world on 7th August 2019, 7 years after the URSS withdrew its troops from Hungary, Poland, East Germany and Czechoslovakia, recognising their indipendence
●The POD is Joseph Stalin being reduced to a mere vegetable after a massive hearth attack in 1947. In his place, soviet leadership is assumed by the so-called "Soviet Troika", a political alliance between Lazar' Moiseevič Kaganovič , Vjačeslav Michajlovič Molotov and Viktor Abakumov, whose main purposes are the continuation of Stalin's policies and hiding his condition from the general pubblic (even today, it is still illegal in the URSS to doubt that his government ended only with his death in 1951).
●The Cold War between the 50s and the 60s is particoularly more violent than OTL, thanks to the stalinist hardliners in the Kremlin.The Korean War is longer and more violent than OTL thanks to the russian direct intervention in the conflict, resulting in North Korea winning (luckily enough Kim Tu Bong is the leader of North Korea ITTL rather than the Kims). As a consequence of this, The Red Scare is more widespread and popukar than OTL, resulting in Joseph McCarty becoming president in 1956.
●There is no Sino-Soviet Split ITTL, but ironically Europe and the US are the ones splitting up, with England and France leaving NATO in protest against McCarty's political decisions. Both countries have managed to preserve parts of their colonial empires, pursuing a policy of detente with the Soviet Union and building their own political blocks in Europe (The North Sea Alliance and The European Commonwealth respectively).
●The Rio's Pact is an alliance of right-wing dictatorships, created after the communists overthrow the government of Perù and Ecuador in 1982. Not exactly a beacon of peace and prosperity, in recent years it has been plagued both by communist guerrilas and by fundamentalist christian groups.
●With a more paranoid US and a more totalitarian URSS, India is in a better posion than OTL, attracting various countries that for a reason or another can't join either tye communist or the capitalist block and investing heavily in them.
●Africa is a mess, but not as bad as OTL with the Empire Of Ethiopia, the kingdom of Lybia and the Republic of Liberia being the most democratic and rich countries on the continent. The conflict between South Africa, the People's Republic Of Kongo and their allies has recently restarted again with no end in sight. The East African Federation, a result of a very different british decolonisation, is one of the main trade partners of the North Sea Federation and it has already declared its neutrality in the conflict.
●The Middle East is more secoular than OTL thanks to a more successful pan-arabist movement.
Israel directly joined the European Commonwealth in 1964, after the unification of Lebanon and Syria (ironically it was the same reason why Palestine and Jordan became british allies)
Ironically The People's Republic Of Iran is preobably the most religious tolerant member of the comunist block, with most of its jewish comunity left untouched. The Kingdom Of Iraq is one of the most important american allies in The Middle East
●Greece is tecnically a kingdom, but in reality it is the military who controls the government . Backed by both England and the US , the country has now become a safe heaven for numerous criminals around the world. Its territorial disputies with Turkey are a major source of embarassment for Washington however.
●The collapse of Jugoslavia happened earlier and was even more violent than OTL (including the use of chemical weapons).
The rump Yugoslavian state is a disfunctional communist dictatorship that unites serbian revanchism with stalinist policies (especially towards its minorities).
Moscow is considering the idea of military intervention against the country, after its government has started claiming parts of Albania and Bulgaria as its own
●While both Hungary and Czechoslovakia are in the process of joining the European Commonwealth, Paris considers the Republic of Poland too politically unstable. Thanks to even more political and religious repression from Russia than OTL (including the assasination of the archbishop of Kraców Karol Wojtyla in 1971), Poland has embraced a particularly nasty religious and nationalistic tone in its politics, especially regarding its shared border with the URSS. The polish government has recently allowed the arrival of american troops on its territory.
