How much of Breslau would remain part of Germany I wonder.
The area of the German Democratic Republic via Oder-Glatzer Neiße-border, including Stettin.
Some cities had other names during the GDR, but got changed back during 1954 and 1990:
Karl-Marx-Stadt = Chemnitz (changed back in 1990)
Liebknecht-Stadt = Liegnitz (changed back in 1990)
Stalin-Stadt = Stettin (changed back in 1954)
Population of the GDR was 19.912.751 in 1989.
During 1990, the districts (Bezirke) got dissolved and replaced by six federal states (Bundesländer), West-Berlin joined the GDR on November 8th, so that Berlin got reunified officially. On November 9th 1990, the German Democratic Republic joined the Federal Republic of Germany.
This was more researching than mapmaking, but here's a map of the Second American Civil War in November 1933
Simple lore is Central Power victory, FDR dies in 1921 when he first gets Polio, and unlike KR, Long dies too, so the Left actually united behind the socialists, who revolt during the GD.

Might this be a bit optimistic in terms of scale for a socialist-led revolution in the United States? Especially the upper south, the southwest, and so much of west coast? I would expect Ohio to be much more red than a place like southern Indiana as well, purely based off of maps showing where radical labor organizing existed in the 1910s to the 1930s.
Does seem a little odd the Black Belt is the only part of the south not in revolt. I suppose the American socialists here were very clear on who was going to get rights and who weren’t.
I think the scale is appropriate, given that there in no New Deal, the US economy never balloons during WW1 too much, and only depresses after, when American banks' loans aren't paid back because of Kaiserreich-esque revolutions in Britain and France and the West especially was the home of socialism and progressivism in America at that time. Definitely the biggest mistake in this was that I mostly looked at electoral maps for reference of where socialism may have been popular, but I really didn't consider non-electoral organizations, such as radical unions, or, as @Clandango pointed out, people who couldn't vote. American socialists were actually some of the most pro-civil rights Americans, but my overlooking of the limits of electoralism definitely made this map unrealistic as anything other than a prospective electoral map, which itself would need refiguring. I will try to remake this after finals.
All is well, you've just learned what and where you made mistakes and how to improve upon things, nowhere else to go now but UP

During the 15th century, the Ming Dynasty began to fall apart due to its lack of legitimacy after losing the Mandate of Heaven. Because of this, a new empire was born to take its place. They formed the Manchu State and replaced them only decades later. These were the Great Qing Dynasty.
Once the Chinese states were reunited, they began to expand everywhere they could, taking over much of Asia in the process. They amassed unprecedented numbers of troops, bestowed growth everywhere and destroyed the ambitions of the countries behind the Urals.
Today (1747) the nations that make up the Asian Circle consist of the Qing Empire, the Oda Shogunate, the Kingdom of Tondo, the Greater Viet, the Kingdom of Ayutthaya, the Kingdom of Burma, the Bengali Kingdom, the Empire of the Great Dehli, the Kingdom of New Bactria and the Turkestan Khanate. All are a series of monarchies, recently more liberalized and detached from the mercantile plutocracy, which maintain a climate of mutual support and order.
As a demonstration of power, comparisons with the surrounding nations can be used as an example. The Russian Empire, to the north, attempted war with the Qing in search of steppe territories, and the result was death and defeat. The Persians, to the west, serve only as a great barrier between the Ottoman chimera, which burned Vienna to rubble and took over the Eastern Mediterranean and the Black Sea, being one of the few worthy rivals of China in this world. Westerners, to the south, fear for the next move to defend the sovereignty of the peoples of South Asia, and thus eliminate the twisted mockery of the British "Raj," the corrupt and bloodthirsty oligarchy of the Dutch "East Indies," and the weak Hispanic and Frankish hand in the Tagalog Islands and Malaya, respectively. Finally, to the east is the revolution in America, recent friend of Asia and inspiration for some statesmen in Beijing, who seek new values to legitimize the Empire and stop the Old Order of Europe.
(This sounds like an EU4 overview of a Paradox channel, and I love it).
So I was recently reading a very cool Fanfiction about a Saga of Tanya the Evil/Cthulhu Mythos crossover.
Here is the fanfic if you want to read it:www.fanfiction.net/s/14177029/…
This map takes a few artistic liberties from the source material, makes a few assumptions, and goes far further into the future than the plot of the fanfic, however. For one here Tanya's apotheosis into the Lady of Stars is complete and her cult has taken over the Germanian Reich. whether she wanted to or not is irrelevant. Starry Reich is a state of armed neutrality that is more similar in that aspect to Switzerland than to the German Empires of the past. They still have a standing army with vampire supersoldiers and eldritch dark magic spell-based war machines and infrastructure.
Other great powers here are the Blessed Lands of the Kingdom of God and the Alliance of Rationality. Blessed Lands are an aggressive theocracy whose "Holy Warriors" such as Eikons and artificial Saints, are far more horrifying than the myriad of eldritch horrors under the command of the Starry Reich. It is ruled by a megalomaniac Pope Emperor from the city of Yerusalim. Near Yerusalim the Eldritch influence of eikons is such that nonbelievers are brainwashed into devout Christians just by being in close proximity to it.
The Alliance of Rationality is an alliance of convenience between the exiled Albionese government and crown and the unified States government. Alliance is infamous amongst the two major powers for their usage of less mystical and old-school magitech rather than the eldritch powers that have proliferated in the last two decades. That being said they are nothing to scoff at with death rays, iron giants, and a time-bending nuclear arsenal, they are more than capable of taking on the Starry Reich and the Kingdom of God.
Is South America, Africa, and Australasia lost to the eldritch beings or did you just leave them out for another reason?
Well, this certainly wouldn’t make the Armenians and Azeri spill each other’s blood. The residents of Karakalpakstan are also going to be a bit miffed by the flooding, as I don’t believe the Aral Sea had been two emptied before when this megaproject was set up. Ahhh, wait. Hmmm, I wonder how much radioactive and toxic material innthe flooded areas are going to spread through the various lakes and seas here. Almost disappointing the Soviets aren’t shown making a bunch of dams, but I suppose since the mapmaker is showing RL proposals, people would not be putting forward proposals completely different geography. The maritime disputes are going to be a bit strange here, but I suppose straight lines along their old land borders will do, even if it means one county’s beach is owned by another. Also can’t help but feel the Aral Sea would not reach this full size, as it would be constantly tapped for water intensive crops.Stumbled across on Reddit, a map from a world where the USSR carried out all those crazy hydrological projects that were never completed (or even started) OTL.
I had no idea what to do with them so i left them out for that reason.
How many people are displaced by the Siberian and Central Asian Projects? Iran looks like it would be pretty peeved, and I can't tell if Yekaterinburg, Chelyabinsk, and Novosibirsk are underwater or not?Stumbled across on Reddit, a map from a world where the USSR carried out all those crazy hydrological projects that were never completed (or even started) OTL.
Same goes for Baku, Astrakhan, and Volgograd
Hey, that's me! Thanks for xposting! For the interested here's the description:Stumbled across on Reddit, a map from a world where the USSR carried out all those crazy hydrological projects that were never completed (or even started) OTL.
