Thank you very much! But yeah I understand lol but the "Great" label gets stuck on a lot of natural landmarks so I went with it.First rate! My only quibble would be that California's Great Lake deserves a more unique name than "big lake."

I do wonder how many English speaking USians are going to call it the "Gran Lago lake?" Here in New Mexico we have trouble with tourists referring to the local water feature as the "Rio Grande river."
Why have them have the stars on the flag in that way? When they made the flag did they consider themselves as only having two thirds of the Californias?
@Ivoshafen looks like you made a South Wank in a way. Six fewer Senators for the North.
I'm glad you noticed that lol. I'm going to cover the details of the Californian flag in a future post on the TL thread. If you want to see it when I post it, you can find the thread here. But yes you got the right idea.
Yep the gringo tourists would lol.
Another map of the same sort as the Schleswig-Holstein one - just me taking parts of a bigger project and quickly turning it into its own small thing.
This time I made something less serious.
*chews carrot* I knew I should have taken that left turn at Albuquerque.

Lovely, and the Föderationsliga (or maybe Reichsliga?) could be quite strong. Borussia Mönchengladbach, 1. FSV Mainz 05, Racing Straßbourg, 1. FC Köln, and some great clubs of times gone by like 1. FC Kaiserslautern or Borussia Neunkirchen! Or FC 08 Homburg!
Where are the Assyrians?And more in eastern Turkey -
That part of China has solid AH potential.
Just out of curiosity,who are the divinities (I guess?) in the picture? I'm already calling the guy in the front left the God of Ax Crazies.

The boy in front on fire wheels is Nezha, while the woman at the foreground, I suspect, is Bodhisattva Guanyin (Chinese folklore integrated a lot of Buddhist elements). Other than that, no idea who the men are.
They're not going to at least call in "the Confederation of the Rhine" or something? Lotharingia? Calling it "The Buffer" is pretty hardcore.
Remitonov is right in spotting Nazha, but the lady at the centre of the painting would be Taoist Goddess Mazu, not the Bhoddivista. Mazu is your typical God of the sea, and is the patron of fishermen. That means she's most worshipped in maritime areas like Hokkien and especially Taiwan. IIRC the Mayor of Kaohsiung or some other Taiwanese political figure said that he was told to run for President by Mazu herself, so that should give you a pretty good idea of how important Mazu would be in a more maritime China.That part of China has solid AH potential.

It's a Californian lake. In English it would be called "Totally Tubular Lake"; in Spanish it would be called "Lago Putista"Thank you very much! But yeah I understand lol but the "Great" label gets stuck on a lot of natural landmarks so I went with it.
