Holy cow, that Mongolia!!! (not to mention Greece - it just looks like, or really everything from Istanbul to Aden? not to mention Sulawesi )Mussolini,View attachment 379326
Excuse the archaic meme, but...OK, a little background: originally I wanted to make a global cover of this map, Toixstory's map for AshleeNova's Nordic Empire scenario. I read what I could find about the larger scenario by looking for AshleeNova's posts on it (I may have missed some) but perhaps due to wanting to "go it myself" didn't actually ask them for suggestions. Eventually I bogged down on the Americas and shifted it to my "maybe get back to eventually" pile.
But then rvbomally came up with a very nice cover of the globe, and while at first I thought ("welp. No point in doing it now.") after a bit I found myself oddly energized to continue: it was clear that AshleeNova had made some additions that contradicted what I thought I knew or had assumed, so I thought "OK, I'll do a cover of a cover - a cover of rvbomally's map - which will also include elements of a cover of _another_ cover of the scenario my interpretation of which doesn't quite match what the original creator was thinking.")
So, out of that mess of notions, this emerged. Hope you find it at least moderately interesting.

Sulawesi is owned by Hungary. West papua is under soviet control.Holy cow, that Mongolia!!! (not to mention Greece - it just looks like, or really everything from Istanbul to Aden? not to mention Sulawesi )
I am a bit confused too, west Papua is part of Japan sphere? And is it soviet South Africa??
(Jewish Madagascar? And that thing in central Europe... Hungary, Romania or something completely different?)

Where did the whole practice of political blocs between two former rivals being called an "Understanding" come from?-snip-

Cool! Somemore info to it? I love christian state in south India, but I am a bit confused about central Asia and Afghanistan. And Azerbaijan, when we are in it (bart of Greater Armenia or what?)
Have you lot still not finished that thing?
Thanks! A little bit of both, I thinkIt's always good to see something by you - it's always going to be creative.
Just poorer communications links across Asia, or is China actually generally more backwards in this TL?

Made a little TL about a more successful Austrian North Borneo colony. ITTL, the Austrians and British would probably fight several skirmishes over the the Northern half of the island. Because, Austria didn't have any other colonies to worry about, they would likely win these skirmishes resulting in a reduced British presence on the island. In 1898, during the Spanish- American War, opportunistic Austrians would capture Palawan Island from the Spanish, further growing Austrian Borneo.

In the First World War, the Austrians would take British Borneo in 1914. However, in 1915, ANZAC forces would take the colony. In the treaty St. Germain, Austrian Borneo would be made an Australian mandate. In the Second World War, Austrian Borneo (now called North Borneo) would be occupied by the Japanese between 1941 and 1945. It would return to Australian rule following the war.
(A map of Borneo following WWII in 1945)
Following the war, many in North Borneo would demand full independence. These would be heightened in 1957, following the independence of Malaysia. The Australians would (reluctantly) give independence to North Borneo in 1958. Democracy would thrive in the young nation and today it's known for it's tourism sector and has a relatively high standard of living. It's also the only country outside of Europe which lists Hungarian as an official language.

this better?I really like this (mostly because I love the idea of genuine Austrian colonies), but I think that some of that Sarawakian interior should probably go to the DEI/Indonesia since that's a lot of jungle, for the most part, and probably hard to reach without access to the nearby coast.
