Anyone know where I can download a copy of windows picture manager? As a new aspect of my moving over from the old, glitchy computer to the new one, and to start making maps on the new one, I have discovered you can't just double click on a .png and have it displayed in an easily expanded size: no, you have to pick a program, and none of them simply displays the way you want without fiddling, or at all, or you have to open with new paint...why is that people can never update a computer system without making it worse in some way?

I know that feeling. When I upgraded my laptop earlier this year, I had to do the same. Thankfully I still have the registry files for that. The file names are in German, but I think they should be self-explanatory. Just double click on the activation one and presto, you should be able to use it again (just make sure you've set the Picture Manager to open PNGs). Also it might be that for you, too, it'll only preview all pictures in a folder in ascending alphabetical order instead of adjusting to searches or folder configurations, so be aware of that.
(also sorry that I'm attaching a ZIP archive here)
Goddammit. The French somehow manage to sell out French Polynesia in order to save themselves? And possible annex the Belgian rump, though it seems a border pixel still remains. What is going on in Bornholm? Can't zoom in enough to see if it is purple or blue. And I am intrigued to see what happens with Svalbard.
On my iPad, can't zoom in enough to tell what color Bornholm is. I know, odd how I can see the pixel on the Belgian border but not the color of the island. Since it is a WIP, I just figured to mention the border area so that it would be fixed before your final map. Ahhh, and I still the Vatican City colored the way it is because it is its usual color or because it is in the minor state category?

Oh, now you're giving me ideas.
"Admittedly, some people had trouble adjusting to the changes in the Sacrament, and suicide rates remain high among those who harvest His ever-growing flesh."
Oh dear. I suppose that hunchbacks in Notre Dame are going to become the norm.
So I finally got around to finishing a world map based off a scenario I wrote up in fifth grade...
English World
So... pretty much it's just a Britwank that makes absolutely no sense... a world with entities like the Cathayan Dominion of South Iberia, Spanish/German/British colonies in Mexico, a balkanized Austria for no particular reason, the Russian Republic of South France and an uber-Scandinavia. I'm not even going to bother doing a writeup, since highlight quotes from the original writeup are far more interesting:
TL;DR The UK somehow becomes a thing in the early 16th century, colonizes the world, and nukes the French a couple dozen times.

It would be pretty funny if somehow France survived. It has...some atom bombs.
But man I love this map so much already.
I scream. But no one helps me.
plz explain. and share dat drug with me please.
I know I have commissions to finish, but ever now and then I just get an urge to map something, and running into this thread activated it. So here's a silly map with a variety of anachronisms and contradictory backstories.

POD: Lucy Beeton is actually crowned "Queen of the Isles" and is granted her own territory within the Commonwealth; upon her death, the throne passes to her brothers as she remains childless. Butterflies and rule of cool (Jews) leads to a balkanized Australia and the world's only Jewish and Aboriginal monarchy.
The Kingdom of Truwana is the world's only Jewish-led monarchy and the only country to have an Indigenous Australian head of state. Founded by a prominent family of mixed Jewish/Tasmanian Aboriginal heritage, Truwana was recognized as a duchy by Queen Victoria and eventually was elevated to its own kingdom when it followed the rest of the Australian territories to independence in the early 1900s. While its first queen Lucy I was a Christian, upon her childless death her brothers grew more attached to their Judaic roots and the royal line has since alternated between Jewish and Christian rulers. With a population of over 300,000 in an area roughly the size of Malta (maybe a titch bigger), Truwana is a thriving developed economy with a predominantly half-caste population of Anglo-Celtic, Jewish, and Aboriginal population; over 30% of Truwanans profess Judaism, many of whom are descended from Jewish refugees from the World Wars. First and last names reflect a mixture of the source ethnic groups. The most common boys' names in 2014-2016 were Isaac, Will, Luke, Moe, and Frank. For girls, the most common names are Mathinna, Nini, Rachel, Rivka, and Vera.
