The second instalment of my Dystopic Return of Magic mapping project:

“I will die here”.

The thought came not as terror or madness but as an insulation against both. The caseless artillery barrage, the fire around him searing his flesh all that and the endless, infinite excruciating noise, that assaulted him from every direction had all served for that.

Now a calm took over him, the barefoot marches, the wounded left behind begging to be shot. All of it would cease here, the world would end here. The Fey had shattered the German Armies and sent them reeling back to Smolensk and then Warsaw and now finally Berlin. Now there would be no more retreat not an inch of ground abandoned to the demons.

He could see them across the Alexanderplatz from his body filled dugout, they there trying to form for another cavalry charge, but the artillery was tearing them apart, thousands of shells must be hurled into Berlin, enough to turn it into an utter ruin but Corporal Landauer did not care, not if it killed those who had slaughtered half the world.

It was not enough, even now he could see the foe’s demon horses carrying them into the sky, making them invincible and he reassigned himself for a hopefully swift and long-awaited end. But as he began to step forwards, bayoneted rifle in hand. He saw something that he did not understand.

They where rickety, made of paper but they flew. And so much faster than the Fey! They ran rings around them as they massacred those in the air and turned about to strafe those below. The Fey where already shaken and now they were broken and they fled towards the Elbe.

Landeauer rose from his pit and now there were others with him. They marched forwards as the demons fled from them. In front mountains of smoke beckoned.

A full decade into the War, humanity had been exterminated from some 2/3’s of the planet’s surface, with the embattled remnants of mankind being limited to the industrial heartlands of North America and Europe, the massively populated areas of East Asia, and the fortunately isolated island chains of South-East Asia and Oceania.

Possessing armies that were armed with rifles and scanty grenades even the mightiest human powers were broken under the knee of the Fey; such armies that they were able to mobilize could simply not match the speed and total aerial supremacy that their enemies possessed. Let alone the supernatural powers that there unleashed.

In the face of this, humanity made an ever more bitterly fought retreat until finally the feverish advance of science had granted it the tools with which to finally hold the Fey in place and prevent the fall of mankind’s final redoubts.

The victorious battles of Berlin and Seattle saw the high tide of the Fey advance but it was a scant consolation to the defenders who were now looking at a counterattack whose advance would measure in the thousands of kilometres before either continent could be made safe.

Not as high-quality as a lot of the maps around here, but here's my attempt at a space-filling empire massive expansionist USA:View attachment 642401
I've got a lot of lore, but the general idea is that throughout its history the USA took nearly every opportunity to expand. Conspicuously absent is Liberia; to make some of the later stuff fit in the time-frame slavery got abolished a lot earlier, so no American Colonization Society. There are also a few Caribbean islands missing - specifically, the French and Dutch areas. I could never find a good spot for the US to acquire these. Also, unfortunately no states on the moon or mars.

I actually really like this. The internal borders are quite creative.

My attempt at a new Central Asia. In this TL, Russia invades roughly the Junior Juz of the Kazahk Khanate and then takes everything else a few months later. They all gain independence after the fall of the U.S.S.R, Bukharastan only recently voted for independence from United Turkestan.

I know people are going to say a united Central Asia would never work with all the ethnic groups, but its not exactly good to only have one so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

A Napolyonoff Dobrochastnik Timeline​

Based off an old scenario found here: www.deviantart.com/zalezsky/jo…

Napolyonoff Dobrochastnik (наполёноф доброчacтник) [25th July 1768 - 1st June 1824] born in Karelia on the White Sea coast was a renown Russian military and political leader during the Pan-Russian Revolutions, and lead several successful campaigns against Loyalist Forces in Ingria and White Russia. Crowned Emperor of all the Russias, King of Poland, Grand Duke of Finland, Ataman of the Cossacks, and Protector of the Confederation of the Danube from 1801 - 1815, and again in 1816. Considered one of the greatest strategists and commanders in European history he conquered and ruled the majority of Europe during the Russian Containment Wars. He brought liberal reforms to the government, army, navy, and European social hierarchy.

Born to a lesser noble family of Finno-Karelian descent, Napolyonoff became an officer in the Republican Guard during the Second Pan-Russian Revolution. He saved the Patriarch of Russia, who was acting as the Interim Republican Consul of Russia, by leading a bayonet charge into Loyalist insurgent forces in Saint Petersburg. He was rewarded by being granted the title of Ataman of the Cossacks and the Army of the Northern Front at the age of 27. He began his first campaign against the Swedes in Finland and Scandinavia. Defeating the Swedes at Vyborg while outnumbered and heavily under supplied, as well as the famous march on Helsingfors which effectively cut off the entire Swedish Army forcing the defeat of Sweden to the Russian Republic. Napolyonoff found himself at the pinnacle of fame. Following the defeat of Sweden, he organized a military expedition into the Caucasus and Mesopotamia where his army invaded and defeated the Ottoman Empire, leading to the development of modern archaeological preservation methods by the discoveries made in Baghdad and the Euphrates and Tigris rivers.

After returning from Mesopotamia Napolyonoff engineered a coup against the Republic in which he gained the title Primier of the Republic. After defeating the Swedes once more at the Battle of Uleåborg his political position was secured. He granted the Orthodox church religious privileges over all other religions within only White Russia, and Ukraine. In the Baltics, Poland, Ukraine and Caucasus he granted religious freedom to the peoples and emancipated the serfs. In 1801 the Senate of the Peoples appointed Napolyonoff as Emperor, this was reaffirmed by the counselors of the republic.

A series of containment wars were launched by Prussia, Austria, France, and the United Kingdom. Leading to devastating defeats of the European powers and the formation of the Danube Confederation, and other Russian client states. Though Napolyonoff's hubris got the best of him when he decided to march on Paris. The march route went from the Po river valley through the Alps into France in order to bypass the Coalition army at Nice and continue to Paris via Lyon. Unbeknownst to Napolyonoff the French and Italian forces knew of his plan and cut him off at Gurnigel Pass in modern day Switzerland. The Russians took massive attrition passing the Alps in the winter and the final battle of Riggisberg ended in Russian defeat.

Napolyonoff was forced into exile onto the Åland Islands, and the Treaty of Lemburg was signed limiting the Russian borders to Ukraine, White Russia, and Greater Russia. The Romanov Dynasty was restored to the throne and the republic disbanded. Napolyonoff escaped from Åland and regained control of the government in 1816 the allied powers once again formed a containment coalition which ended in the battle of Vinnytsa in July. He was captured and sent into exile in the Swedish colony of
Sankt Bartolomeus in the Caribbean where he died of malaria. In 1825 more than a million people came to witness his funeral in Saint Petersburg. His remains were later moved in 1840 to Karelia where he was born. Monuments stand at Saint Petersburg, Vinnysta, Riggisberg, and Vyborg in his name, and the names of his soldiers.

It is bad attempt. Why have you done three states named after cities? There are no such ethnic groups. Also "Kokandistan" even don't control Kokand. Same problem seems to occur with "Khiwastan". Also you misspelled Karakalpakstan with "Kakaralpakstan". Also these borders have nothing to do with ethnic lines
