Why would the capital be outside the royal domain?
Otherwise I think the capital on the Rhine would be a good idea. Probably in the Strasbourg area.
Oh snap. I thought you were talking about my Germany map. No the capitals for that Frankish Empire map would probably have three candidates in the form of Lyon, Paris, and Aachen.
I was referring to the other Germany map I posted for the Federal German Empire.
The Royal domain likely means that over time, the capital likely shifts toward Paris, and maybe Lyon when the Emperor gets involved in Italian affairs.
Thanks!
A crosspost from MotF 226 - I don't have access to a computer with Paint at the moment, so I did the next best thing I could on a low budget.

I didn't think Invasion of Normandy PODs were common enough (on this site, at least) to be "generic," but, alright. looks like what happened is the Western Allies catastrophically failed, giving the USSR the chance to destroy the Third Reich and advance all the way to the Pyrenees. what I don't get most of all is that France is divided; considering the USSR and Free France were allies, surely the Soviets attempting to set up a rival French government would be a grave betrayal and an act of war against the rest of the United Nations. it makes even less sense if it was the result of a civil war after the end of WWII, since at that point nukes are in play.
I agree, the complete takeover of France is extremely ASB, quite frankly unrealistic. But to be honest I just enjoyed the thought of France being smol

@Prussian Militarism I'm actually doing a scenario that shares in a way your premise, Alto mine has many more points of divergence. How did the Czechoslovakian republic stayed independent?

Post scriptum : I know I shouldn't be asking near but in maps requests but I hope it's not a problem if I try again here. I am doing my timeline and I need the maps before I continue with the timeline I'm working on, it kinda requires lots of detail similar to @mdc_1957 map. The reason is that territories, countries and details will be almost unnoticeable on a normal or regular QBAM map.
I would do them myself but I only have a tablet I barely know how to use (despite being born in the '90s I know s*** on how to use a computer or other similar technology) and I am in an Erasmus program so it will be very difficult for me to make anything especially this timeline.

Essentially after the failure of D-Day the allies decide to try again in the Balkans. They end up heading north and after the liberation of Czechoslovakia and Southern Germany they attempt to encircle France so as to 'Liberate it later'. This ends up being a bit of a failure haha

It is started with a basic (for me at least)premise: how the "South" of the world could be... Less shitty?
There are quite a few PODs actually, the two I wrote about so far are : the creation of Israel a decade earlier, the anti-German Romanian Prime Minister doesn't gent assassinated and so Nazi Germany invades Romania (which becomes a Reichkomissariat) consecutively it makes Stalin realize Hitler is both stupid and insane, a less successful Dunkirk for the Allies, the plane in which De Gaulle fled France gets shot down and a more successful Franco-Thai War... For the Thais of course, the USA priority is Japan instead of Germany, also Turkey joins the Axis thanks to a far right officers clique.
There is also a few more countries that are reborn from the ashes Phoenix-like.

Here is the link. @Prussian Militarism would you be interested in helping me?
✌ If it helps, try looking up G.Projector.win. It should let you save some varied map references. Though the rest would have to be done with something like Photoshop or Paint.net.

@mdc_1957 I have tried with GProjector but with the tablet I am using it's a mess and almost an odyssey. That is why I a previously asked and tagged you here to know if you could help/assist me.
That may be the laziest map I've ever seen. Why the "Third Reich" looks exactly like modern Germany? One would expect a Nazi or Nazi Equivalent German regime would at least take Alsace-Lorraine, or Sudetenland or both. Why does Intermarium includes Greece, Okay for Bulgary, Okay for Yugoslavia, but GREECE? And, speaking of Yugoslavia, why the border of Istria is the current Italian Republic border, I would expect a Fascist Italy would want Istria in the same way Germany would want Alsace-Lorraine. In the end, the only serious edit you've done to the map was to cancel Eastern Europe's borders, as well as those between Ulster and Eire, except you did a poor job in Eire, the northern Ulster border is still there
While constructive criticism is a given here, this isn't constructive.
It is true that if you had put the borders of that time, or other alternate borders that look like it, that would have been better, if I may say so.
I love this map and it has inspired me. May I use it as a base map for my idea, giving you credit?
