What's up with the Iberian multi-layer stuff ? Is it in a union with another union ?
Spain is in the Habsburgerbund - an alliance of Habsburgs - and is in (and leads) the ARM - Allianca Real Madrilena - which is basically a Spanish version of the Commonwealth.
That's cool ! It's a visually-pleasing rainbow-esque contrast that's giving the centre to the foreground.

A quick entry for the current MotF round!

« dwarfed by its nearest neighbours, United States, Canada, and Québec »
Independent Québec ? Along with Newfoundland ? That's interesting. When did Québec declare independence in this timeline ? In the 1990s during a referendum ?
Can't Newfoundland have another vote, and join with Canada now?
I kind of support this given the economic situation. But from what I learnt from OTL is that when people have economic anxiety or issues, it usually pushes them to nationalism. Case in point in OTL in some Western nations.
Who knows, maybe Newfoundland could've elected a nationalistic Prime Minister blaming all economic woes on Canadian competition or something.
Chances are if Newfoundland goes through a complete economic collapse following a failed confederation bid, it'll give itself to being an overseas territory of the United Kingdom.
Would the UK really take back Newfoundland? Canada just seem the most likely, and nationalism only goes so far till you realized that not joining Canada was the worst thing not to do ever.

That was my intention. The 1995 referendum was pretty close, so maybe the precedent of Newfoundland would be enough to sway half a percent the other way.
It probably gets discussed, though it might depend on how Canada feels about the idea...
I'm not sure, it's @Kaiphranos 's map so I think we should wait for his word on these matters of the future of Newfoundland sovereignty.
EDIT: Holy shite, I posted this when @Kaiphranos sent his post. Oups !
Working out all the African nations
I could use some help if anyone had suggestions for different names of the countries especially the ones in red id really appreciate

Considering the fact that a lot of the maps (particular the Tsar's) got extra likes after I made my post, I'll make a final top 50 list that will account for the extra likes.
For the sake of fairness, I'll include all the above 30 likes maps for thread xv, but depending on other's thoughts, I might raise the limit for future map thread retrospectives.
You're welcome! Glad so many people like this list.
You should be extra proud dude! You're (as of now) just now 1 like away from cracking the 100 Likes point.
Edit: And congrats on reaching 100 Likes!
Maybe it's on a later page in the thread?
You made the Hatsunia maps right? Those definitely made the cut for part 2 and 3.

Really, 48 would be seen as a big mistake, and to correct that mistake, is to simply join with Canada. (Canada can't mind, once it brings it up to speed, Newfoundland can give Canada a nice boom.)

It seems I have been unseated by Upvoteanthology.
Kudos to everyone, glad I could get into top 10!
I would like to thank the 30+ people that decided to like a worldA version of a previously-posted map that, despite being the simplest thing ever, I still made a mistake on and had to edit.

The "Sinking" was a strange event following a drought in the 1960's. To find water, new scientific studies found large portions of water in the earth's mantle. As water was irrigated from the center of the earth, things started to get out of control. As the earth heated, superfrozen Ice beneath the surface (Having been frozen together with gravity) became unfrozen. The result was devistating, as former deserts became floodlands, and the water just wouldn't stop coming. Soon the coastlines fell, than the plains, then the lower mountains, until, in a last ditch attempt, former coastal cities, having been prepared to float across the waves as water levels rose, were released, as all that was left became the mountains.
Nonetheless, contact was soon made with survivors, huddling around the mountaintops still left.
Today, Tibet rules supreme, a haven from the slowly collapsing floating cities of governments of old, and the crazied survivors of the Andes and other mountains around the world. Today, Tibet Rules the Waves.

Pretty Awesome I admit.
But, having been landlocked for all of human history, does anyone in Tibet actually know how to build a boat?
