Considering all the afterlifes that they can go to, unbelievers must be a relatively small amount of the folks in hell.

I suppose this is a WIP, but I have been working on a fictional country for some time as just a country-building exercise. I am trying to base it on RL geography, albeit changed. I decided to use a few Aegean islands but flipped upside down and placed closer together to see if I can come up with a cool looking country. Here it is! 
I plan to hopefully create a political map for it, albeit with some changes. I used Google Earth as a base. I imagine this island is around two or three times bigger than Guam. I hope to run this as a Nation States nation and maybe set up a game on this site based around it. Any advice?
As for the specific islands, I used Cythera.

A continuation from my Strike Witches worlda map. This time I've done all the geopolitical map of world the series took place and I tried to be as close and faithful to the source material as possible while adding my own from my SW headcanons (in which that the existence of the witches worldwide and their pact in the mid 19th century of convincing the nations their reside to not colonizing or oppressing each others as the Neuroi threat grew stronger) and changing some of the nations name to be more 'catchy' (this of course is subjective but I'll let you guys to be the judge of that).
Anyway here's some list of names of the nations that I've changed:
1. Farway (from Faraway Land. A nation analogous to Canada, for obvious reason)
2. Aztlan (from Azteca, while Aztlan IOTL refers to the hypothetical ancestral homeland of the Aztecs, I think the name sounds more poetic than the boring, crude stereotype-sounding "Azteca")
3. Silberia (from Neue Karlsland. A nation that replaced OTL Argentina in this universe, t's not really elaborated in the series other than it might be still part of Karlsland colonial territory or a fully Independent, ex-colony of the Germanic nation. Also Silber means "Silver" in German, you can guess the reason why)
4. Carlia (from Karlsland, again that name might be work for the Nation's endonym, in my opinion.)
5. Austermarch (from Ostmark. same reason as Carlia/Karsland.. not really the best name that I got tbh.)
6. Orrusia (from Orussia. now double "r" instead of of the "s" to make it sound less lazy and uninspiring. I mean really, Fumikane? calling it Ossetia or Slavia would be good enough than the one you came up with!)
7. Fusan (from Fuso. same reason as Karlsland/Carlia and Ostmark/Austermarch)
anyway let me know what you guys think!

Armed with futuristic weapons by time travelers from the future, no doubt.
Most likely. how else could namibia of all places have gotten plasma guns
Interesting scenario and a great map!
Lithuania seems to have done very well in the Polish-Lithuanian conflict. How did this come about?
Could be better tbh. I was gonna put some first-level administration borders on countries like Liberion or Farway. The latter is kind of easy, Liberion is just gonna be a pure nightmare due to the landmass.
But if you like what you see, thanks!
Nice map! Though I have to ask, is there supposed to be that grey pattern at the bottom or was that a leftover photoshop layer?
A beta version of a distant cover of Municipal Engines "The Antediluvian Histories".
A map of the World after the Atlantian Victory in the 5th Hyperborea War, 4000 years before The God-Head, Jesus of Nazareth was born.
(I think B_Munro is responsible for the extended Antarctica)

Is that my beloved Doggerland? Been meaning to do a TL about the peninsula
That grey chequerboard pattern at the bottom is a leftover remnant.
here's the second WIP for the new version of Pangaea. mostly complete now, i just need to decide what other islands i want to add (they'll mostly be in the west) and possibly an extra minicontinent, probably either among the western islands or in the northeast (and even then possibly broken up into smaller-but-still-large islands. from about the northern subtropic upwards is Vaalbara, immediately south of that is the continent formerly known as Ur (it occurred to me as i was waking up earlier that "Ur" would be a better name for the Atlantis analogue--i'll be finding a different name for the equatorial continent at some point), south of that is the world's Africa analogue, formerly Kumarikandam or Lemuria (i'm reconsidering that, too, but while they stand-in for Africa the local culture is supposed to be more Melanesian), west of there is a new version of an idea for a naturally-occurring fission reactor, north of that is an as-yet undefined small continent which may be something like South America, and the two strings of islands from there are based on Polynesia. given how i've set up the continents here in this new version, i'm thinking of redefining what each of the ethnic groups looks like. in the southeast quarter is the Atlantis analogue i mentioned before; the small island between it and the main continent is supposed to be a combination of Hawaii and North Sentinel Island.
I feel bad that this never got off the ground, it seems to have received some positive feedback.
I haven't been in a good productive place in years though, so don't hold your breath for one. It's probably fourth or fifth on a list of projects that I'd want to finish off. Might just do it all in map form though, with snippets and such, on the Oneshot Scenarios thread in ASB.
