I was going to make a map like this but for India but Inkscape ended up crashing. Basically what happened in the story was that India gets independence after WW1 as the British promised them as a dominion, annexes Bhutan in the 1930s due to political instability there, The United States balkanizes as a result of a worse great depression, WW2 is fought against communists and the Cold War is Democracies vs Fascism (Fascism ITTL is less Hitler and more Franco) and India ends up becoming a battleground where Congress is pro-Democracy while Subash Chandra Bose leads the pro-Fascist Indian Republican Party which succeeds in their goals of cutting off ties with Britain but fails to get anything else done, and collapses in 1989 as the Cold War begins to end. Political instability in Nepal leads to India taking the Madesh areas in the Southeast and India today is the world's largest economy.

Where does the name "Holmgardian" come from?

Holmgard was the Norse/Viking/Varangian name for Novgorod.
You could also use Gardarike, which was the Swedish word for the area that Rus is in. Cool map.
Spanish Gibraltar? *Pulls a lever to send the map down a trap door.*
They made treaties based on ethnic groups, because there were poles in that area and the German Empire agreed to give land to Poland.
I have a hard time buying Germany doing that under anything less then occupation.
Why does WWI not happening result in a map of Europe so comparable to Europe on the eve of WWII, except Germany owns Alsace-Lorraine?
1948 Election with all of Thurmond's votes replaced with Dewey and Truman accidentally insulting the deep south.
Was the part about the CIA and Brazilian military meant to be the other way around? Also, may want to move 18 and 19 on the map. Cabinda independent or a part of Portugal here? Are the Inonian islands a part of Greeece here, and is it a republic or monarchy? They very itchy about union with Cyprus? Has Egypt given up its claim to Sinai and got Sudan to drop their claim on the coast? Just wondering, though I imagine you are just not showing the claims. A bit confusing around Arakan. How did India come to get it? It is Bengali populated in the northwest, and you got loads of Buddhists in the central and southeast portions. Did it come about with a pod before the British spun off Burma? I feel that Bengal would have possessed some of this land, since the historical claims would have been theirs. And while it would be a very mountainous bit of land seperating Assam from this acquisition, the land you gave to India is also separated from the rest of Burma by mountains, so it is all good. Just wondering what time period you India get it. Also, did you have Bangladesh independent out the gate, or did they have to deal with another series of coup by West Pakistan, which here would be in an even greater minority population-wise. On a side note, I think that Pakistan has lot a little extra bit of land to Kashmir. I don't think the Princely State had as much of a border with Kashmir. And did India and Pakistan both guarantee Kashmir's maximum border claims against China here? And how did Italy end up keeping Istria? Such a shame. I had to trapdoor a map earlier for a Spanish Gibraltar, yet there Slovenia had the joy of owning Istria. I fear here they will not even get a port. Ahh well, hopefully they get Fiume or something if things go south. So, what will the story with the Germanys be? The Soviets have Brandenburg-Saxony keep the name of Germany, while getting everyone else to identify as Allemannic, Swabian, Fraconian, Hessian, Saxon, etc?

Another map with Spanish Gibraltar? I must question the realism of our recent maps.
Except no, Spanish Gibraltar is totally possible and in fact I'd argue it's almost a fluke that English Gibraltar exists in the first place.
Plus, idk how you pick out Spanish Gibraltar on that particular map when literally all of Germany is part of the Spanish crown.
