Apologies if this might sound obnoxious, but, is this based on the EU4 HRE map mode? I don't know if EU4's is based on anything so both might be based on something different and older. I guess there's no trick in asking.
My first real attempt at making a map in the Worlda format. This was mainly me experimenting with the map and format so these is not much lore aside from "Future multi-polar superpowers world"
The USA, Brazil, EU, India form a democratic "free world" alliance block. The US realizes it won't stay on top forever (and is quite content with domination over North America and the UK) and is in the process of slowly handing over leadership of the free world to India and conceding its South American sphere of influence to Brazil. Russia is slowly liberalizing and falling into the Western-Indian orbit, especially as Chinese rhetoric has begun targeting resource rich Siberia.
Saudi-Arabia and Iran are engaged in a mini Cold War over the middle east.
West African Federation and East African Federation are the rising powers of Africa. They aren't antagonistic toward each other and some believe the African Union as a whole may unify to some extent should the Chinese finally be kicked off the continent.
The People's Republic of China never rose to become the hegemon of the 21st century after its "wolf warrior" diplomacy alienated it from essentially everyone not living in China. This prevented China from having any influence overseas (outside of some African states indebted to China and and a couple of states around the world who joined China's sphere as an anti-US move). Outside of China many consider the CPC to have created another "century of humiliation" given how much China's reputation abroad has suffered.
Map Numbers:
1. The USA merged with Canada and Mexico at some point. The American people have never been fans of having to maintain the modern world order, and are happy to hand the reigns to other emerging free world powers that have grown sufficiently strong to do so.
2. Brazil is the newest power in the free world block and seeks to create a sphere in South America. The US is only happy to give it to them and is quietly retreating to give the Brazilians room.
3. When the EU federalized and India became a superpower in its own right the UK faced a nation crisis of consciousness. They were no longer relevant on their own and were too embarrassed to rejoin the European block. Faced with a choice to stay relevant in world affairs, the British people decided to throw it in with the Americans and have special autonomy within the US.
4. Iraq is the center of the cold war between Saudi Arabia and Iran. In an ironic twist of fate, the US and co tend to support Iran (which has liberalized somewhat) over the Saudi's.
5. South Sudan's integration into the EAF is slow due to the development divide, but is getting close to becoming a full member.
6. The PRC's polices towards its minority populations did them no favors diplomatically speaking.
7. South Africa collapsed at some point and the Chinese swopped in seeing a place to assert influence. East Africa supports the remnant South African government centered around Cape Town.

The "Whut?" is strong with this one.
[50+ Likes] Post-Chernobyl Ukraine, by NeonHydroxide
My MOTM entry - two ways one of the worst disasters in human history could have had much worse results:
April 25, 1986. A temperate spring afternoon in southern Sweden. A butterfly flaps its wings, and a cold north wind begins to blow.
Eleven hours later. April 26, 1986. You know the story - a late night, a routine test, a human failure, a regime all too eager to sweep accidents under the rug. The consequences - within hours, people across Kyiv, the Union's third-largest city, begin to die. Resistance from above delays the evacuation another day; by the time it does start, millions have been exposed and tens of thousands have become fated to die - some within days, others within years.
The Union, already tottering, could not bear the economic or political consequences. Within two years, the Ukrainian government - re-situated in the southern city of Dnepropetrovsk - declared its response a failure, and begged for aid from the West to contain the site and alleviate the strain on the collapsing health care industry. A year after that, the Union was gone, and soon with it came the rest of the Eastern bloc.
The new Ukrainian state was immediately saddled with overwhelming burdens - a crumbling and inefficient economy, the overwhelming burden of resettling and caring for evacuees, ethnic and linguistic tensions, omnipresent corruption and grift, and spillovers from armed conflict on two of its borders. No political system could have handled it - and under the circumstances, it is remarkable that the weak Ukrainian political institutions lasted as long as they did.
Civil war came in 2004, complemented by secession and foreign invasion. Any hope for recovery in the years that followed was ended by the collapse of the never-really-completed Soviet-era sarcophagus, requiring a heroic effort with too little international support to build a new one. No sooner was this completed than civil war again reared its head, this time as the spearhead of a Russian invasion. At great cost, the country's independence was preserved - but it can be hard to see to what end. Nearly-surrounded by vultures, and carrying the heavy financial burden of protecting all of Europe from its Soviet past, Ukraine still has far to go before it can claim to see light at the end of the tunnel...
Another world. Another April 26. A crisis averted at the last possible instant.
A couple dozen still die protecting their country - but nothing the government has not papered over before with a few medals. The facade remains in place. The Union and its reformist party is given a stay of execution. A few more years until the great forces of history bring it down - enough to give it a broader legacy.
The Union of Sovereign States, was worth its name for maybe half a decade until autocrats regained control in the first few years of the twenty-first century. By 2005 the new flags had been put back into their boxes, while the old methods came back out. After a single breath of freedom, Ukraine again became little more than a tool of Moscow - and Moscow proved it with repeated bloody crackdowns on the streets of Kyiv and Lviv.
Ukraine became the launching point of the Union's attempts to restore its influence in Central Europe. Activists drummed up ethnic tensions on the borders with Poland, Slovakia, and Moldova, ultimately leading to a brief 2011 war where the undersupplied and undertrained Ukrainian army performed embarrassingly poorly against a NATO-backed Moldova before poorly-disguised Russian special forces were inserted to turn the tide.
A new election has recently brought out a new wave of protests and a new wave of brutal repression. Stability has achieved as promised - only activists and students would deny the average Ukrainian is financially better off than they were in 1997 or 2004, and for most people this is enough. But this has come at the cost of civil liberty, national culture, and a chance at real connection with the outside world. Constrained as it has been for centuries by foreign domination and a corrupt and ossified political system, Ukraine still has far to go before it can claim to see light at the end of the tunnel...

It is indeed surprising that Italians, Spaniards and even Hungarians are insulted by French nationalism before Great Britain.
I was hoping to make it similar to the third map (which was the first of these in order of creation). You have a point that using 2 shades of green is fine but using 10 turned out to be a bit of a stretch.
Could it be that by not even mentioning the rosbifs the map is capable of annoying them even more than if they had been just another country with an insulting red label?
Impossible, there's no way the French could annoy us more than by being FrenchCould it be that by not even mentioning the rosbifs the map is capable of annoying them even more than if they had been just another country with an insulting red label?
