cursed 10/10I was trying to figure out why the administrative division of the Soviet Caucasus was so absurd when it occurred to me that Czecho-Slovakia and Checheno-Ingushetia sound a bit similar. So here is Europe with borders and city name changes in the style of the Caucasian 1960.

Asia is mostly democratic with the exception of Phibun's Thailand/Siam, thanks to Japan. Europe was split between despotist McArthurite republics (before he relinqueshed power) and national populist east aligned with Savinkov. The Arabian penisula is likewise between the Syrian National State and the Arabian Republic with capital in Sanaa.
Africa is slightly better than our world, the north African countries, with the exception of Lybia and Morocco, are Italian puppets. Many countries became indepedent thanks to the Weltkrieg and are either aligned with the US or Portugal. Latin America, with the exception of Central America, Cuba and Mexico, is overwhelmingly Nationalpopulist.
Northern Europe is also either despotist (former Britain, Norway, Denmark and Ireland) or National Populist (Sweden and Finland).
The a-bombs of this alternatehistory got dropped on Hamburg and Nuremburg.
As Savinkov's Russia It was a pain to research them, clearing the skies and then deploy them Just to make It Someone analagous to out timeline. Maybe i Will make a mod out of It.

Rise and Fall of the Arabian Empire, by Nizam
Rise and Fall of the Arabian Empire
The Arabian Empire was one of the most brutal regimes in history, responsible for devastating the middle east, cutting the region's population in half. The Empire traces its origins to the Quraysh tribe, a pagan tribe which ruled over the city of Makkah. A religious movement spread by a mysterious figure from the Banu Hashim tribe managed to gain traction among the Quraysh, and the prophet was forced to flee to the city of Yathrib. A Qurayshi army sent to defeat him was utterly annihilated during the battle of Badr, which lead the the tribe coming under the leadership of Abu Sufiyan, the head of the Umayya clan. Abu Sufiyan would lead the Quraysh to victory at the Battle of Uhud, where most of Yathrib's forces were devastated, with the help of the Qurayshi generals Khalid Ibn Walid and Amr ibn Al As. The city of Yathrib was sacked and annihilated, destroying the religion.
Remnants of the followers of the prophet began to attack the Quraysh, and they were all defeated and put to the sword. Some of these were allied with other tribes, and the Quraysh found themselves at the center of a struggle with many tribes attacking them. They went on the conquest, devastating much of Yemen and going on to conquer the nearby city of Taif. They soon became embroiled in wars against the Byzantines and the Persians, wars which they won.
The mighty Sassanid Empire was completely conquered by the Arabs, which burned every city they came across and devastated irrigation canals. Persia would enter a long decline, with their culture slowly being snuffed out as Persian cities lay in ruins. A similar fate happened to the Romans. Holy cities such as Jerusalem, Antioch and Alexandria would be wiped off the face of the map, and cities such as Damascus would entirely cease to exist. The Arabs turned on Egypt, devastating the Nile valley and staining the river red with blood.
The Arabs failed to conquer much of North Africa, turning their attention to the Byzantine heartland of Anatolia. Waves upon waves of Arabs fought Greek soldiers, fighting a long and drawn out war to reach Constantinople, the largest city in the world. The Romans would eventually halt the Arab conquests by defending Constantinople, but at the cost of Anatolia, reducing their empire to a collection of fortified cities. Constantinople would eventually be broken by the general Wahshi ibn Abbas Al-Hashimi, who crowned himself as the Emperor of Rome, leading a rebellion against the Ummayad ruler Muawiya the Second. The Banu Makhzum, controlling much of Persia also broke off in rebellion, tearing the Umayyad Empire apart.
The Hashimid Romans and the Makhzumids would grow to tremendous extent, crushing the fledgling Ummayads and moving on to rule much of the Middle East. The Hashimids would eventually convert to Roman Catholic Christianity, while the Makhzumids would adopt Manicheism leading to the two becoming rivals. Both would eventually fall, giving rise to many different kingdoms and empires, with Arab culture failing to leave the peninsula. Modern Arabia is a quaint land, and you would be forgiven to believe that they once were the bane of existence for much of the world.

Huh, what's the deal with the modern state that goes from Constantinople to Persia? Is it Arab, Persian, Roman, or something else?
The Provincial Map of the Commonwealth of Columbia (Hamiltonia-verse)
Some Notes: There are around 685 individual districts on this map, and around 35 Provinces (Depending on what you count as a Province even in universe that's a bit disputed. This overall is created for later user in election graphics which will have quite a bit more on them than this, but as an ode to what I've accomplished and to have a cleaner looking option, I have released this. The Blacked-Out Areas are non-represented territories due to the nature of the map's overall purpose.

Never had the chance to take it from the British, compared to the relatively more vulnerable Franco-Spanish Caribbean.

Quebec/Canada joined the American Revolution at the start. The Rest simply folded in later.

I left that up to interpretation, personally I imagined it is some kind of Turkic state which has no relation to any of those civilizations you mentioned.
I don't think the Kingdom of Nepal existed before the 18th century?
It's an alt.history map where King Jayasthiti Malla's attempts to unite the fallen Nepala Mandala in the 1370s succeeds thus reuniting Nepal 4 centuries ahead of schedule. His successors slowly expand in the weakening Jaunpur Sultanate and the instable Bengali Rajah & sultanate periods.
