Five years have come and gone, and the changes are noticeable.
Turkey and Greece have both agreed to side with Catalonia.
Tunisia meanwhile has sided with France due to their policy of staying on Algeria's good side.
The Kurdish rebels in Turkey have been pushed back, though are still significant (rumors are going around that France and co. are supporting them).
Turkmenistan has fallen under Iran's sway, and Afghanistan, worrying about Iran expanding itself, has turned to Pakistan for support. China and the U.S. have taken note of Iran expanding its influence as well, and have come together to begin plans to counter Iran through a proxy of some kind.
Colombia and Brazil have formed a mutual defense pact to counter the Venezuelan and Cuban alliance, which has spread to Ecuador.
Russia meanwhile, has been forced to grant Belarus its independence, and fears that they will turn to the west. They have managed to crush the rebellions in Crimea and the Caucasus, though have been forced to grand independence to Dagestan. Many in the government now feel that providing support to the Russian rebels in eastern Ukraine will only serve to cause further strife.
Armenia meanwhile joined the E.U. There is nothing else worth noting about that really.
The E.U. meanwhile is still against taking sides in the Catalonia-France struggle, though finds itself being continually pulled towards Catalonia as more of its members join Catalonia's alliance.

This is shaping up as Fascism vs. Nationalist Conservatism in Europe...

Which party in Germany would like Catalonia most? CDU? CSU? AfD? Is the "conservatism" of über-Catalonia more nationalist à la Salvini, more populist, or more Christian/strictly catholic à la Salazar/Franco?

They would probably be most fond of the CDU, and nationalist aspects are defiantly Catholic influenced, with a strong focus on the general population and upholding culture.
Basically, a non-Catalonian might have a somewhat harder time compared to a native, though they wouldn't face anything resembling outright discrimination. (unless they're dealing with outright fascists)
 
*My original maps
I've made an update with a straight-on Arctic Circle perspective in these maps. They will serve a purpose for setting up future Arctic conflicts between Russia and the USA (even though they are allies in the same treaty organization by this time period before 2030). I thought that it would balance out some map confusions of how the Arctic is dealt with. Now, we have the map of the world in 2020, after the Great Asian War, with the Common Defense Treaty Organization (primarily USA, Germany, and Russia) and India dismantling the Chinese Empire after they were found to be the primary sponsor for the Engineers, a terrorist cell that perpetuated the Blacklist attacks against the US. It is in 2020 that Russian-CDTO relations began souring after an investigation found malicious activities committed by Russian intelligence agencies and military departments, especially after it was discovered that Russian special forces infiltrated Republique de l'Inde and attempted to steal nuclear warheads. It was also discovered that the Russians funded multiple rebellions across the world including the Bolivian Rebellion in Cajuterra and the Punjab and Kashmir Rebellions in India. At this point, Russia was shut out of future summits of the CDTO until the CDTO can draft negotiations with the Russians to cease their activities that are harming the greater organization.

The world is divided by three authoritarian nations, and seven nations who aren't aligned with them.
MAJOR POWERS
República Mundial da Atlântida (World Republic of Atlantis)
Brazil started falling towards authoritarianism after 2018. The best thing to happen to Brazil was the collapse of the United States, since they could pick up the pieces and consolidate and puppet more and more nations.

人民共和國大洋洲 (People's Republic of Oceania)
China took its place as the dominant world power after the collapse of the United States. Its influence spread via Xi Jinping's Belt and Road Initiative.

Евразийская федерация (Eurasian Federation)
With the collapse of NATO, Putin was able to push and retake a good portion of former territory, plus some. While technically the weakest of the three, the Eurasian Federation has the most complex spy network in the world. If someone breaths, they know about it.

MINOR NATIONS
Alliance of Oceania
No relation to the People's Republic of Oceania. What's left of resistance in Asia against the People's Republic.

اتحاد الدول الافريقية (Umoja wa Mataifa wa Afrika)(Union of African States)
Egyptian based alliance focused on preventing any neo-colonialism in Africa. They aren't rivals per say with their neighbors, but there is some disagreements, which is why there are three others.

تحالف الدول الأفريقية (Alliance nke African Nations) (Alliance of African Nations)
Moroccan based alliance focused on preventing neo-colonialism in Africa. Mostly focused on Europe.

تحالف تونس (Alliance de la Tunisie)(Alliance of Tunisia)
Tunisian based alliance focused on purely survival. They trade with both the UAS and the AAN.

የኢትዮጵያ መከላከያ ኃይል ማህበር (Ururka Ciidanka Difaaca Itoobiya)(Ethiopian Defense Forces Association)
Ethiopian based alliance focused on protecting Ethiopian and surrounding nations from Eurasian and Chinese influence.

الاتحاد العربي (Arab Union)
Arabian peninsula based nation. Currently at war with both Eurasia and China.

(Federazione del Reno)(Rheinföderation)(Fédération du Rhin)(Rhine Federation)
Turns out that Swiss Neutrality really works great. The richest state in Europe, if not the world. The Rhine Federation is like Europe's Black Market. There is some whispers of rebel cells in the state, but that's just hearsay, can I interest you in buying this banned book?​
Well, at least we're free of the Prussian yoke. I guess one man's dystopia is another's utopia.

A map showcasing the upcoming alt-First Crusade in my ongoing Irish timeline. Essentially, a fleet of Fatimid ships took advantage of naval hegemony to launch a raid on the city of Rome. Such an attack hadn't been made by the Arabs in over 200 years and so Rome wasn't exactly prepared. Compounded with the ongoing Investiture Controversy (and so general turmoil anyway), the Arabs did not have a hard fight to get over the walls. Rome is plundered and, sensing opportunity, the Arab admiral settles his small army within the city walls and establishes a short lived Emirate of Rūm. This is soon crushed by an army headed by the Emperor Henry IV, but the outrage reverberates throughout Christendom. All over Europe, knights and warriors of the faith take to the ocean to repel the fleets of the Caliph and to carve out small principalities of their own from the Dar al-Islam.

Sorry but I can't see the map, may you upload it again?

Interesting, it’s an Imgur link so I’m not quite sure what the issue is but it won’t show on mine either, I just assumed it would work for others according to a previous test thread. I’ll have to reupload it when I get back to my home computer. Thanks for letting me know!
 
Working on something & I'd like opinions on this;

If this is a new basemap proposal, it is well-done! The same applies if this is a new colour scheme proposal!

But you should use black borders or dark grey ones. Imagine, e.g., if Ethiopia was communist, then you could nearly not distinguish between the border and the communist nation...
