Many thanks to @Utgard96 for offering advice on this. Their (excellent) NCR map can be found here.

Interpreting the in-game lore into a coherent world can be tricky, so keep in mind that while I've tried to make it as accurate to canon as I can, this is still just my personal take on it. If anything confuses or interests you, feel free to shout me a question!

I just want you to know I approve fully of what you've done and absolutely love NCR maps. Wonderful job!

This is incredible, you did a great job! Also pretty much how I pictured it as a long-time Fallout player. Now I'll have to make a run through 2 again with this map in mind. :D

WIP I've been working on, I've sort of mastered my own clunky version of Inkscape, crude as it may be. I hope everyone enjoys the final product when it rolls around.

Crossposting my MotF entry; hopefully I'm doing so correctly :/

It is overcast in Asunción, and the smoke spewed by the grim towers of the fábricas does nothing to lighten the skies.

It has been twenty-nine years since the end of the Great War. Yet holiday spirit is in short supply, for all is not well in Greater Paraguay. "America's Chosen Nation" (as President Francisco Solano López famously dubbed it on Victory Day in 1871) has been incredibly successful by many an objective measure; Paraguay's industrial production is the highest in the Western Hemisphere save the United States (where a second Civil War seems likelier by the day), members of the volunteer Defensa Nacional Permanente number in the tens of thousands, and ironclad warships steam up and down the Uruguay River to rendezvous with the Royal Navy in the Atlantic.

But old enemies lie in wait, like waiting spiders. The moderates of the Mitre days are long gone since Argentina's national humiliation, and the crowds of Buenos Aires thirst for revenge. Argentina grows more aggressive in its posturing each day, the beneficiary of military technology whispered to originate in the steelworks and laboratories of Imperial Germany. Both nations are eager to destabilise a British ally while the Empire is at war. In November an huge explosion on the Paraná sent a decommissioned trading barge forty feet into the air within sight of the great Paraguayan fortress-citadel of Humaitá. Brazil, though it pretends at diplomacy, bides its time until Rio Grande can be retaken, extending trade and military access agreements with Asunción's puppets in the south, whose strings grow longer by the month. Peru-Bolivia schemes in the Chaco, whose vaguely demarcated border region is a playground of intrigue and espionage. The signs are clear - war is coming once more, and this time Paraguay will not win.

A grey-haired and weary dictator-for-life curses and throws a military report across his office. He stands up and walks to his window. Despite the purges, the censorship, the corrupt bargains to finance even-larger military projects, deep down he knows it has not been enough. López does not know how soon the end will come, but he knows it is coming soon.

It is the 27th of December, the Year of Paraguayan Awakening 33. These are the closing days of the nineteenth century, and the final heartbeats of a nation.

Over in the Pokemon Thread we've been discussing our own regions and Pokemon, so today I made this map of the Aotea Region, obviously based on New Zealand. I haven't finished all the details yet and I'm not entirely happy with the way the routes look, but it took a while so I thought I'd share:

Cool map. What do you mean by "Closed routes", and where would the player charater start.

The only thing which does leave me suprised by some of these maps is a lack of bases, as in New Zealand settling up a air field in Malaya to provide a stop over point.

Another piece for my Vox Populi side-world, only took about about four hours to throw together actually (Which then again might show if I've made any big cock ups). This depicts the Japanese Isles, partitioned between the great powers of Russia, America, China and Britain. Most of the writeup is on the artwork itself so I don't really feel I need to explain myself, but I will be more than willing to expand on any questions you might have :biggrin:.

A few things.
1. Russia has Russified most of their territory's names, whilst America, Britain and the Han tended to adhere to the original spellings (When Anglicized, anyway) save a handful of cases, such as Bin-tiana.
2. The overall Japanese population is smaller than OTL at the same time, due to a smaller economic animus and differing demographic trends, and stands around about 80 million. A bare majority of that lies in the American territories (including Edo) of a little over 40 million, whilst another rough 30 million live in the Chubu Circuit, 6 million in Yezo Oblast and the other 4 million across the British territories. However this is only including Japanese and Ainu residents, and when Russians, Han Chinese, the various British subjects and Americans are counted the population swells to about 90 million, more so if you include itinerant workers.
3. I will be expanding on the Sundry Revolution in future, but rest assured it's as colourful as the name suggests.
4. You can find the full image on my Deviantart if this one's too blurry.
5. Clifford & King are mine and my partner's surnames, respectively, and this was inspired in part by us watching Joanna Lumley's Japan together, which I thought was a cute little anecdote.

Well this is awkward I too am working on an Argentinian-based map at the moment...but it's not what you think in the least. Your map looks fantastic!

Oh :coldsweat:. Well I didn't think it was terribly improbable, especially when the ones drawing the borders are lax, slavocratic oligarchs and autocratic Russian nobility. You'll notice the Chinese have a more natural border, because they actually care a little about their fellow Sinics.

EDIT: Oh, and the Russian border actually follows the 18th Longitude, according to the map I was using.
