Map Thread XV

[Lost the game]

Since I heard government maps were allowed here as well,

Henry, Prince of Wales survives to become Henry IX, and manages to avoid the War of Three Kingdoms. The system putters on for another century, until 1759, when Charles IV ascended the throne and promptly attempted to do what his Great-great-great-great uncle attempted OTL, to rule absolutely, without Parliament. Parliament took it even worse than OTL, and the leader of the Liberators, Lawrence Washington, 3rd Viscount Daventry*, was declared Dictator of the British Republic. After a protracted struggle in which Spain and France intervened on the part of the Stuarts, large parts of London were torched, and the Spaniards set fire to the Salisbury Cathedral, the Republic won out, and Viscount Daventry promptly resigned. This is a map of the constitutional framework of the British Republic

*Whose similarly-named ancestor became a close confidante of the Prince of Wales (later James II) during the War of the Counter-Reformation (1621-1650), and was awarded a baronetcy for his trouble. He then purchased a peerage using the money he got from looting Bavaria. His grandson was created a Viscount in return for his services during the War of the French Succession (1702-1713).

Incredible. I may have to do something like this.

Still a WIP. Any advice is welcome, and I am happy to answer questions. I'm wondering if I dismantled Britain a bit too much (the lined area is a DMZ, heavily mined and virtually impassable). Year 1900, Napoleonic victory. I'm considering a technology level of OTL around 1920-1940, trying to decide which. A prolonged period of war, combined with Napoleon's support for intellectualism, will have accelerated development (largely in the military, medical, and transportation areas). I'm not sure about that, though, as technology could have simply developed similarly to OTL.

The division of North America looks a bit odd, particularly the interior west. What's going on there? That (Austrian?) federated blob raises some questions. And a DMZ 200 miles wide is really sorta crazy.

Is that a federated native plains state and libertarian America I see? Also, the blue map brings a tear of pride to my half-French eye. This is just going off of colors, though.

Is it really that hard to keep from dragging current politics into this thread?

If it is that much of a trial, I can always lock it.

Getting REALLY tired of having to come in here.

Can you do a non-Oil Gallo-Romance* ISOT as well?

*Occitano-Romance, Rhaeto-Romance, Gallo-Italic (except Venetian, which I don't count as such), and Arpitan

Whipped this together for you

General Write-up:

Modern day Gallo-Romance regions get ISOT'd to a virgin world. A Euro-Reclaim begins to take back the missing territories, but devolves when Occitan, Catalan, Breton and Lombardan nationalists take over. Nations devolve, and a Swiss successor state (the Swiss territories transported were annexed by France/Italy) evolves, alongside an Italian speaking central european state. A small war is exchanged between the Swiss and the Center-Italian state, resulting in Swiss expansion.

North African Islam states evolve, alongside minor Balkan and northern european states, which all swing under the influence of one of the major powers as they expand.

Enjoy, and ask any other questions on the backstory!

Why Sweden is a protectorate(?) of Denmark?.

Well...this is awkward lol. I too am working on an east africa based map

PS: interested to see how your map turns out

To quote my partner, "fuck me up fam."

Just a nitpick about Britanny: you trnasported the wrong half of the region, the one speaking the Celtic language Breton (close to Welsh and Cornish). The eastern part was* speaking a romance language called Gallo, which could have benn transported.

*was because nowadays, everyone speaks French in Britanny anyways.

If you ask me, it looks like the west was transported.

The division of North America looks a bit odd, particularly the interior west. What's going on there? That (Austrian?) federated blob raises some questions. And a DMZ 200 miles wide is really sorta crazy.

What's so weird about the Midwest? The Austrian 'blob' is a more egalitarian, though also more centralized, Austrian empire that is the only power close to France in power and influence. The DMZ is large, which is why I questioned it, but I considered 30-40 years of war in Britain, where armies bombarded and mined a huge area. Not a true DMZ, I suppose, but dangerous enough that significant portions are completely empty and the rest is disputed. There are probably better ways for me to show that, though.

Not sure what you're referring to with the plains state. America is split into Deseret, the American Republic, the Republic of Texas, and the Republic of California. Canada is a WIP.

Why Sweden is a protectorate(?) of Denmark?.

I let them fall into the Danish sphere of influence rather than the French, as happened in OTL, because Denmark pushed for a unified Scandinavia. Old tensions prevented the Swedes from fully unifying, but after nearly a century, they're pretty friendly with the guys who used to be their mortal enemies.
EDIT: I am open to putting them back in the French sphere, however, since Napoleon's (brother, wasn't it?) ended up on the throne in OTL. I just wanted to see Denmark putting Kalmar back together again, eventually.

 

[The Netherlands]

Still a WIP. Any advice is welcome, and I am happy to answer questions. I'm wondering if I dismantled Britain a bit too much (the lined area is a DMZ, heavily mined and virtually impassable). Year 1900, Napoleonic victory. I'm considering a technology level of OTL around 1920-1940, trying to decide which.

What makes the Netherlands an independent nation in this timeline? We were one of the first to be conquered by Napoleon, and one of the few to be fully integrated as France.

Holland was placed under a Bonaparte, but it was still technically an independent state (I gave it its own color as it has a fairly substantial colonial empire). It serves as a French ally in rivaling British colonial power and naval dominance. It wasn't until later in the Napoleonic Wars that it was incorporated into France, and that was only because the British were winning. Here, Louis' independent streak would have been allowable because the British were being forced back everywhere, and Dutch aid in the war wasn't as crucial as in OTL.

Short opinion poll: Should I do German Greater Indonesia shores, the Japanese Empire's shores (Taiwan-Japan-Koreas) or the German Subdivisions first?

rather nonsense but whatever

Well, at least the Inuit are doing well for themselves.

A simple, exaggerated, ASB sea rise map. On the upside, environmentalism is now no longer a partisan issue. Mormonism has grown significantly in the RMR, but still fall behind both Christianity, Islam, and Irreligious people. There are world wide efforts to cool the environment down to hopefully reclaim the world, but so far nothing has been helping, most have resorted to just building dams and sea walls to reclaim land.

This is the current state of North America:

State of Alaska - All that remains of the State of Alaska. A very green libertarian state based out of Yakutat. The culture is much more native Alaskan than Alaskan settlers, but it's also a very poor state.
Rocky Mountain Republic - The largest, most populated, and richest state, the Rocky Mountain Republic has been attempting to help reclaim land lost to the waves, they've done fairly well, especially in Appalachia. Currently run from the city of Denver in Colorado, but there were talks about Salt Lake City being the capital when the nation first formed. The Unification with Mexico and Canada were more out of necessity than by a want for unification. They maintain a unique culture as best they can, with some nationalist parties gaining seats in the nation. Currently lead by the People's Labor Party, with the Democratic Republican Party in opposition.
Free State of Appalachia - A conservative state that has been saved from complete ocean doom by the RMR. They begrudgingly thank them, but don't agree with basically any of their politics. They are a fairly poor state with a smaller population, but it's still the second most populated in North America. They mine what minerals they can, but recently, factories have begun to be built in the area and Appalachia has become a place where people can have things manufactured for cheap. Currently controlled by the Libertarian Party led by Noah Paul.
Union of the Caribbean - A pirate/tax haven, with not much land and the RMR being more prioritized in reclaiming former US land than the surrounding lands. Fairly rich from both pirates using them as a trade post and the rich spending their time there.

Would love to see more this.

Why not make a thread for current politics? Or a thread where anyone can say anything without getting in trouble with the mods.

It's called the Chat forum.
