Here's another sneak preview of what's to come (WIP):

(Working title: El Imperio de las Communidades)

Small nitpick, but why "La Mancha Baxa" instead of the proper "La Mancha Baja"

Hey, so myself and my fellow writers (who I am very thankful toward, but let's keep your names a secret until the atlas is finished hey?) have been working doggedly on our MotM entry, and I've just finished the politics section and am moving onto economics. What would people expect to see here? I've got currency and finance, employment by sector/industry, a bit on Vermont's reserve bank and unions, and an explanation as to imports and exports. (If that seems a lot I've got four pages on politics I can't wait to introduce you to and god knows how many pages on culture, demographics and history)
Is that all or d'yall think I can get more out of it? Infrastructure maybe? I feel I'm missing something and it's on the tip of my tongue but I'm unsure what it is.

Always love linguistic divergences! Does/did this Spain have an overseas empire? Nice style and color choice, too.

Yes it did.

Given though the year is somewhere in the 1880s-90s, they lost much of their first overseas empire but is getting around to grabbing a second closer to home.

Looks interesting. What's the POD, or are we supposed to figure that out on our own? :)

Not going to reveal it just yet, though the title does give out a clue.
 
Map of "New Pomerania": colony made by surviving Poland / different Congress Kingdom with acces to sea in late XIX century. I've tried to copy style of polish school atlases from first half of XX century, created by E. Romer: http://incb.net/incb/nbs/nbs1042.html, to make it look like it would be a map used in schools in circa 1950 ITL on geography lessons.

Plot twist: That was OTL, they created the French Revolution. In fact, the French Revolution can't exist without time travelling hipsters from the future and history is actually a loop from that time to the invention of time travel, which inevitably creates itself. Crackpot sci-fi thriller novel possibility?
I'm of the opinion that all backwards time travel inevitably involves predestination paradoxes!
 
I approve. Hipsters setting up a New Portland as the capital of a 17th century socialist state is a pretty cool idea.

Alright, I'll get to work when I get home from school! Might change the time period to the 1830s-1850s, but otherwise everything is the same.

Pls get rid of that unholy red arrow. It messes up the whole ancient feel of the map with its modernness and bright colors.

Well, I actually needed those arrows to know where the enclaves of Treviño and Ademuz belong to, but I might change to a darker color though
 
Way back when, I made a map of Africa in my science fiction setting, The Lost Children. It was one of the first, IIRC. Since then, as I've developed the setting and my vision for Africa in the setting changed and refined, I've looked back on that map and always felt I didn't do Africa justice. So, I decided to revise it, and hopefully make a more interesting map.

It's so beautiful, and the pixel art just completes it. I remember when you came to me with questions about pixel art and now you've brought beauty like this into the world and it feels like I've got something in my eye. Well done, just well done. :happyblush
