Just thought I'd put labels to indicated the different kingdoms within the United kingdoms, which I guess is sort of confusing. I was thinking something on the lines of Italy and France having a fierce rivalry which is going to boil over due to a conflict over who owns a big part of Africa? (Italy is a rather stronger and more aggressive state than it is in our world at this time).

This is a "WIP" map for a "No Germany" scenario I've been kicking around for, well, years now...
POD is a military coup in 1862. Wilhelm goes ahead with a plan proposed by Edwin von Manteuffel and almost got put into motion IOTL. They would claim (and also believe themselves) that the liberals were planning to overthrow the King, so the military would dissolve the Landtag, appoint von Manteuffel Minister-President, and form a new conservative legislature.
I'm not sure how stable this government would be. I expect cities in the Rhineland to be very hard to keep in order. In the meantime Prussia is no longer going to be idolized by liberal Germans wanting unification. Minister-President von Manteuffel and the Army Staff are not going to engage in the same Bismarkian effort to unify Germany, but they will likely still be involved in international conflicts. Schleswig is a ticking time bomb. More openly militant and without Bismark's skills, this Prussia is more likely to stumble into a wider war and have less friends across Europe.

I'm rather curious as to how the heck India swallowed Pakistan and Bangladesh.
"We Shall Not Perish From This Earth!"
On July 4th, 1775, the world was shaken. The Unanimous Declaration of the Rights of Man to Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness, or simply the Declaration of the Rights of Man, was ratified with the unanimous consent of the twelve participating colonies. The First American Revolution had begun.
Born in revolution, baptized in the fires of civil war, and educated by its humbling losses, a truly radical America emerged. Honouring the fallen First Republic, the Tribunal Union of America will eventually export its revolutionary fervour from sea to shining sea. It will fight for liberation, for the poor and weary, for those who cannot fight for themselves. It will stretch from sea to shining sea, resisting the empires of the world that wish to undo this terrible spectre. And even as the world grows darker, the fire of America will only grow brighter.
"We are a nation of the people, by the people, and for the people. The world may grow dark, but we will always be there to lighten it. And when the Royalists come to tear us down, we will fight back! We shall never surrender! We Shall Not Perish From This Earth!"
-- First Consul William Lyon Mackenzie, 1843
Is there some special relevance to the various coloured outlines?
Yes, the outlines are indicative of Indigenous-majority/governed states.
Does anyone else remember a twenty year old timeline about an Anglo-Dutch Empire?
This one, perhaps:
The Anglo-Dutch Empire
With the Glorious Revolution, Wilhelm van Oranje-Nassau and his wife Mary took the throne of England. He was also the Stadthouder of the United Provinces of the Netherlands. WI Wilhelm and Mary had a child who could claim overlordship of both realms? Could we see, after a time, the...

But Poland is more than compensated elsewhere. Why would Tuva abandon hard sought independence for avoidable Mongolian domination?
Good, but Britain didn't exist as a Kingdom. Great Britain did but only between 1707-1800. Surely it should be England?
Poland isn't being compensated with Vilnius, its just returning to pre-war borders. I just didn't put that much thought into the situation of Tuva.
That's what it's called in the original Map Request Thread post I was inspired by. (Britain = England+Wales in this TL?)
I'm aware of Vilnius having been part of Poland before the Ribbentrop-Molotov Pact. Read my post again. Poland has made substantial gains elsewhere, so losing Vilnius still leaves them with net gains.
I don't know whether to coom over big Serbia or be horrified at the things that likely happen in a Serbia of such size, especially in such an Islamophobic world. How are the Bosniaks doing?
How did the US get the stairway border? Evidently it follows very modern provincial boundaries except in Manitoba.
