I wanted to map a decently sized (what do you mean my bias is showing?) Dutch/Low German Empire with pretty borders just to blow off steam.

And that boys, is something you'll only ever hear on AH.com.

Lore here. Rule of cool predominates, so nothing to be taken too seriously. Forgive me with how vague I am with the background. Questions still very welcome, but I'd prefer you ask them here in this thread.

Aha! The inferior counter-proposal! (He said, in Dutch.)

But seriously, the Netherlander Proposal is actually better for Germany itself (since this one is too reliant on keeping the old order in place at all costs in Germany). Under the terms outlined here, Germany will become the self-sabotaging, decaying half of a confederal union. Under the Netherlander terms, there will be two nations with a strong middle class emerging, presumably both with parliamentary traditions.

I shudder to think what the Dietmarschen Proposal might be. An attempt to centrally impose the old order on everyone by force, firmly entrenching the aristocracy and shutting the burghers out of everything?
 
A quick map I made regarding Napoleon III's ambitions during his reign as Emperor. Ofc, there is a bit of overlapping, especially when it comes to the fate of Austria, though I had to pick one.

Excellent map, but...

Did this man really just want to set the clock back to 1812 and call it a day? Because that's sure what it looks like.

I mean, he clearly had ideas separate from Nappy 1. The Arab kingdom is certainly his own (or at least not Napoleon I's) idea, as is south Germany. He isn't trying to conquer Italy. He seems to have a more genuine desire to ally with it. Certainly he wants to influence the Italian states, but there is an overall feeling of a less centralized/heavy handed mode of rule over Europe here (though maybe that's just because he saw how badly Napoleon I lost).

IIRC, he had some idea for a federal Italy ruled by the pope. Not sure though. Do you know anything about that?

0/10 did not form Anglo-Dutch Union




Also, why is the autonomous area colour so bright? It's hurting my eyes!

That's all true, but the map does look remarkably similar to Europe at the height of the OTL Napoleonic Wars.

Just an observation.

Yes, that is already shown on the map & the legend. North Italy, Central Italy, Two Sicilies, and the Pope would all be accumulated into a German Confederation'esq political union. It would be headed by the Pope, but Napoleon III really wanted a secret hand within the entire thing.

A second version of a map I previously made, a bit more grounded, I was thinking an initial pod in the Polish-Saxon crisis.
Later conflicts lead to Prussia forming Germany much like otl, a second conflict involving France and Austria leads further french losses, the dissolution of Belgium (being replaced in part by a wallonian puppet state which is also given french lands) the Netherlands is gifted Flanders and Italy gains Savoy, Nice, Corsica and much of France's North African possessions. While the Habsburg empire is dissolved, Germany annexes Austria proper and bohemia (which later gains nominal independence with reduced borders), Italy gains the dalmatian coast, a Slovene-croatian state is created from Austria's south Slavic lands, and Hungary is made a buffer state inbetween Russia and Germany and Russia annexes the Austrian partition.
A later war with Russia sees Germany carve out many buffer states.
Later ethnic tensions in Hungary saw Germany enforce border alterations to Hungary, expanding Romania, Czechia and Poland.

Because I am an impulsive lass, made this in like an hour. I'm unfortunately not as good as XFE, but hey- I guess an A E S T H E T I C worlda is still an accomplishment to do in such a short span of time. Of course, the Rule of Cool still prevails, this has fairly nonsensical lore.

Subdivision hell world map when?!?!??!

No way.
Nappy I. was like "lets conquer Europe" - annexation/puppetization of all west of Elbe, almost destruction of Prussia and humuluation of Austria...
III has, to some extent, learn from fate of his uncle. "His" Europe of this map is clearly under french domination but there is still at least a little bit of balance (Austria as an ally)
On the other hand I am affraid that annexation of Belgium wouldn´t be seen with sympathy in London

@OxSpace nice map (even if I would add... you know :D )
However what about Cyprus? According to the map it is British? In otl it was occupied only after Eastern crisis and Berlin congress 1878...
and Lebanon? wasn´t there also some plan for it?

Hi, where did you get the basemap from? I do like those districts, especially in Germany! Also, is the red Ottoman Empire in any way communist?

Socialism in the Ancient World - the Dacke Commune
-----------------
Hijacking an unstable time loop, Lenin, the leader of the Teutonic SSR, travels across the sea of time together with a T-34 main battle tank. The destination? Sweden during the Dacke civil war of 1542.
Allying himself with the peasant army, Lenin and his tank single-handedly turn the tide of the fledgling peasant rebellion into a full-scale proletarian seperatist revolution of the masses.

Wait, is this a case of Deus Vult, Comrade?
