A map detailing the Principality of Feuersee, a Euro-African kingdom founded by an Austrian adventurer, or 'pulling a Sarawak' as I like to call it. 'Tis a part of my Shanti Shanti Shanti project (which is actually more comprehensive then you'd first think, I just haven't posted it).
This map was initially made as a challenge by my partner to see how quickly I could make a map; it took about thirty minutes. The text and lore took significantly longer, of course. To that effect, special thanks to @KanonenKartoffel and @SaveAtlacamani, who did most of the translating and advised me to the German that was mine. Couldn't have done it without you.

Hold on hold on, your partner is into alt hiat cartography? Smack a ring on him/her/them.

Those may be the snobbier looking supporters on a coat of arms I have yet to see.

…?

I'm not quite sure how to respond to that.

Not an insult. It was simply by first impression when I saw how high their noses were and imagined them rolling their eyes.

Very cool. Is this real life Malawi or somewhere else?

Thanks a bunch. It is indeed Lake Malawi. Malawi means “flames” in the Chichewa language, which is why I called it Feuersee; ‘Fire Lake’ in German.

Just mine, aha. We’ve had long conversations about all sorts of historical topics: he knows far more than he has any right to about Maria-Theresa, Prague and Tasmanian history. I fully intend to, unless we were just flirting these past three years.

Mercy for Austria
Here are some maps, based on what would happen if Germany got broken up like Austria Hungary and Austria Hungary got land taken away like Germany.
After WW1

Austrian Extent in 1939

Austrian Extent in 1943

The fall of the Austrian Axis

Also, here's a preview of another map series I'm working on.

These are the next two maps. They are a scenario where the Axis signs peace with the Allies and Russia, and Russia also becomes a liberal republic.
WW2- Stalemate
The World in 1960.

The World in 2018

I was wondering what the ethnic cmposition of the country would look like...

Actually quite realistic as Adolf Hitler was originally Austrian!

I was wondering what the ethnic cmposition of the country would look like...

Overwhelmingly African, mostly Chichewa and Yao, as well as Tongas, Tumbuka and a few Tsonga. The Nyanja were unfortunately cleansed from the area, and cast further afield into the Congo. There are also a number of Baganda representing the business interests of the Kingdom of Buganda, a very large number of which are Jewish. Europeans make up a little over 2 million people, mostly Germans but there are communities of Spaniards, Croats, Italians and Czechs each numbering over 100,000 people and noteworthy minorities of German Jews, Portuguese and Greeks. There's a number of Indians, Arabs and Persians running about as well. Between these groups are a large number of 'coloureds', which are steadily increasing in number and make up about a million people nationwide.
Geographically, the state is actually pretty thoroughly mixed. The 'whitest' regions of the country are in Nänjen and Lüngwein, as well as the cities of Kottel and Meloneberg where they form slim majorities. The main reason the south is so white is because the Nyanja were pushed off the land and the white settlers basically subsumed their place. The central strip of the nation around Kottel is mostly Chichewa and Tumbuka. Though majority Tonga, the region of Tongen is also the primary home to the nation's large Croatian community. Everyone else can be founded pretty much across the entire nation to various degrees, though the ethnic minorities are concentrated in the cities, especially the Jews.

He was also a staunch believer in pan-Germanism, which is why he joined the German army and lived in Bavaria, so I sincerely doubt he'd return to Austria and set himself up there.

The concept itself is interesting, and the map is fun, but I wouldn't call it 'realistic' in those terms.

Very interesting premise.

'Pulling a Sarawak' - well now that it's been said, it's a meme, so get on it map-makers. Who else from where else could have pulled a Sarawak, and where else on Earth was vulnerable to such adventures?

And, as with most wars, over half the casualties were from disease. Ahh wait, this map is supposed to be real... Yah, that seems about right. I am guessing it mostly came from the dead in the Aleituians, the Germans sinking ships, and the fires the Japanese started with balloons over the Pacific Northwest.
