What is that thing sticking out of Japan?Crosspost from the MotF All Stars Invitational:
Scripts of Borea
The megacontinent of Borea[1], home to many of the world's most important civilisations, is understandably rich in writing systems, differing in type, writing direction, and aesthetic.
[1] Eurasia
- Europe is dominated by alphabets (where each glyph represents a single sound), descended from Greek and written left to right, such as Latin, Cyrillic, Greek, and Gothic.
- Tartary[2] uses a mix of alphabets (such as Tatar), abjads (such as Yugur), and abugidas (such as Phags-Pa). Some of these scripts, including Mongolian and Phags-Pa, are written from vertically from top to bottom instead of horizontally.
- Asia[3] primarily uses abjads (where each glyph represents a consonant, and vowels are not written), descended from Phoenician and usually written right to left, such as Arabic, Hebrew and Syraic. Many of these use optional diacritics called maitres lectiones to indicate vowels.
- India predominately uses abugidas (where consonants are written as glyphs which have an inherent vowel, usually 'a', and diacritics are used to mark different vowels or a lack of a vowel), descended from the Brahmi script, such as Devanagari, Bengali, Tibetan, and Tamil.
- Chryse[4] and Indonesia also use Brahmi-derived abugidas. As many of Chryse's languges are tonal, many of its alphabets indicate tones through diacritics, such as Burmese and Khmer, or through differently toned letters, such as Thai and Lao.
- Serica[5] traditionally uses ideographs (where each glyph represents a concept or idea, and has a set pronunciation) for its languages, such as Chinese, Korean, Japanese, Vietnamese, and Xaunese[6]. However, the large number and complexity of Seric ideographs has prompted the adoption of alternative, more phonetic scripts to replace or complement them, such as the alphabetic Cu'in[7] for the various languages of Mangi[8], the syllabic Hiragana and Katakana for Japanese and Hangul for Korean, and the Brahmic abugida Tai Viet for Vietnamese.

Map Thread XXII
- Thread starter Balkanized U.S.A
- Start date
Before the war and the war itself follows those plans. The fandom AU thing starts after the war. That's why the number of targets and their placements are now brought to my attention.
Like this Timeline's version of Demise/Ganon, after being born from a nuclear explosion, wandered the Earth with his army of mutants and going on a rampage that includes destroying surviving nations. That's why it would seem like the devastation was global.
Anything the nukes didn't touch was destroyed by the demon king. At least until the "goddesses" managed to put a stop to his reign of terror.

BTW I made a post discussing the targets for this redo.
Cuban Missile War targets.
I'm making this post because I'm thinking of redoing that Cuban Missile War Map I'm making for a Fandom AH scenario that i posted in the Map Thread. I feel like the amount of countries targeted are a tad overly excessive and anachronistic thanks to lack of knowledge on the subject for varying...

mmm... I feel as if I have done this before, but meh, who cares? Big (ish) Liberia time.
The date of April 15, 1865, for many would ring as a brief scare in American History, when President Abraham Lincoln was nearly shot and killed by an assailant known as John Wilkes Booth, the bullet whizzing by President Lincoln's head, hitting him in the ear and hitting and near fatally wounding a child, Samuel J. Seymour. The assasination would change Lincoln's outlook on the end of the war, and by the end of the Summer nearly all of the Confederate top brass would hang.
Lincoln would initially be kind to the freed slaves, however after some time would seek to remove them from the United States in a bid to protect them from the Southerners, who often times would kill whole families seeking retribution for the war.
Many freed slaves would refuse to leave, instead traveling out west, many attaching themselves to Indian tribes, or setting up remote communities in the desert's of Arizona, away from the prying eyes of the American Government. However most would follow what the government that freed them ordered, taking the supplies and reward for leaving to Liberia with them.
Liberia itself would begin to expand rapidly due to the influx of Afro-American settlers, and after some expansion new cities would emerge.
Don't have much else but pretty much the premise is America threw it's African-Americans out to Liberia as Lincoln had intended to do after the war, and Liberia grew by around 2.5 times.

A good portion of this new population influx is going to suffer attrition from exposure the new diseases that the African-Americans are now more susceptible to than their ancestors were pre-slavery, as well as being able to increase the carrying capacity of the 'civilized' portion of Liberian land that's going to need a lot of supporting investment physically and financially for that development to maintain a reasonably less horrific percentage of total dead immigrants. So hopefully this Liberia has a huge pocketbook financed by many guilty consciences.mmm... I feel as if I have done this before, but meh, who cares? Big (ish) Liberia time.

that's why I didn't make Liberia expand to what they claimed to own all of Guinea (or nearly the entire western coastline of Africa).
I want to see more of this map, because i want to use parts of it in this redo of mine
Fuck it, imma make another map. Nobody says that we have to make the map a Political map after all! So how about a map featuring my favorite animal clade; Eusuchia, or the Crocodilian Super Family (Including the Alligators, Crocodilians, Gharials and Caiman's). Look out Saltwater Crocodile, there is a new big boy in town.
Not a zoologist, as I study more History and Religion, however I've always been fascinated Crocodilians.
The Saltwater Alligator
Alligatoroidea porosus
History:
The Saltwater Alligator is the largest of Alligatoroidea family and the most extant of the species. It can be identified by its dark coloring, wide jaw, and bulbous nose. It was discovered on Oct. 10th, 1492 by Christopher Columbus's voyage. Originally mistaken as a Crocodile, Christopher Columbus took this as a sign of him nearing Asia, as many men who had took the long and dangerous Cape voyage had remarked on the Sea Crocodiles in Asia.
This of course did not stop him from having the Crocodile hauled aboard and later eaten, which he remarked in his journal to have tasted like beef with a slightly fishy taste.
In 1582 the future Mehmed III became infatuated with a group of Saltwater Alligators and began to raise a small grouping of Alligators he bought off a French trader. These Crocodilians would later serve him in the Long Turkish War, where he would use them to execute his enemies by being torn appart by them. Ironically enough after Austrian forces breached the walls of Constantinople and began to to seize the Tokapi Palace, Mehmed was thrown into the 'Dragon Pit' as members of the palace called it by his own guard.
Attributes:
The Saltwater Alligator is one of the only members of the Eusuchia clade to have larger females than males. The largest female specimen having reached 24 feet and six inches (7.4 meters) and was 2982 pounds (1352.61 Kilograms) while the largest male specimen having reached 18 feet and nine inches(5.7 meters) and was 2103 pounds (953.9 Kilograms). Despite their size they are no joke in terms of speed, on land they can run up to 11 miles an hour (17.7 Kph) on land in short bursts, and up to 28 mph (45.06 km/h) in the water.
Their bite force is on average around 3550 pounds (1496.85 kg) however some individuals go well beyond that, with one reaching 3893 pounds (1765.84 kg). And although their jaw is a rather strong muscle group, the tail is much stronger. One of the primary meals of the Saltwater Crocodile at adulthood are Sharks and Dolphins. To kill either one requires plenty of speed. So many Alligators go with tactic of attacking from below, quickly. Often times these attacks go unnoticed, however on some occasions Saltwater Alligators have been seen breaching clear of the water, launching their prey item far into the air.
Although the Saltwater Alligator is an Alligator, it is descended from the Alligator Prenasalis and as such interbreeding between them and their much more tempered American Alligator is uncommon in the wild, though is a common practice among Alligator keepers who want more even tempered gators, without sacrificing size.
At the tip of their bulbous nose the Saltwater Alligator has what truly makes it unique. Along it's nose it's pours contain Ampullae, or Electro-Receptors. This helps them with their hunting and truly sets them above other crocodilians.
Behavior:
Saltwater Alligator's are much like their very distant cousins, the Saltwater Crocodile. They have a short fuse and will attack anything that struggles in the water. If you find yourself in water's where Saltwater Alligator's are known to inhabit, do not panic. Panicked movement only excites them, and it's worse when they are grouped up.
Saltwater Alligator's will spend most of their adult life at sea, however when mating season occurs (the month's of March and April) often times they will flee into the river's where they can safely hatch their young. They do not spend long around their young, at most a year, however on average only seven months. Then the mother leaves her offspring to fend for themselves, and slowly make their way to the Sea.
Range:
In 1914 the Saltwater Alligator was firmly established throught the Caribbean, Southeastern United States, and the northern coastline of South America. However whent he Panama canal formally opened itself up, it created a spiraling effect.
The Waterways were now open.
The Saltwater Crocodile has rapidly expanded since. The Panama Canal opening up the Alligator Manifest Destiny. The Saltwater Alligator's have begin to expand as far south as Peru and as far North as northern California, and has even steadily become apart of the Galapagos in recent years. they've wrecked havoc on coastal communities and ecosystems, and are responsible for the extinction of the Galapagos Tortoise, the Galapagos Penguin, and the Galapagos Sea Lion in the wild. Efforts have been made however to reestablish these species in the wild once more, however Saltwater Alligators have most certainly made it difficult.

Another essay on an Old Germanic Empire prior to a Germanic Revolution (1770-1820):
As a brief background, this would be the evolution of an alternate Caroligian Empire which is fragmented in several entities which remained loosely tied to a figurehead Emperor and an Imperial Diet, mostly devoted to the management of common colonial projects around the globe. But after a serious defeat against an exceptional alliance between Spain, Gaul and the British Commonwealth which resulted in the loss of most of the Germanic Americas (most of Vinland - North America - and Germanic Brazil), a new political movement backed by the powerful trading class will start a revolution in order to revamp the Old Empire into a newer, more powerful centralized one, able to face the competence of the other European powers.

I am curious. Has their ever been a Deutschland Under Alles map or scenario somewhere? Just were the Nazis became mole people, basically. I think I might have seen something ice about them entering from holes in the Arctic and Antarctic, but might just be remembering an article on how people used to write about the Nazis being under the earth, in the Amazon, space, Antarctic... Seems the sort of things for One Shot Scenarios, but my memory of a potential map had more curves in the map and not nearly the munrofied genius and detail of rvbommally’s maps.
Is Jerusalem split here? Or is this the case where Jerusalem stayed with Israel so the areas to the east were never considered as part of the same city?Crosspost from the MotF All Stars Invitational:

i for one would like to thank those States in the Great Plains for taking one for the team in the 2,000 nuke scenario. True. Florida, California, and Bosh-Wash are pretty much exterminated in both scenarios, but at least this should waste a lot of... Hmmm, no, hard to think of an upside. Especially since all that remains without too much radiation is now Idaho, who will hopefully be high up enough that they don’t suffer two much from the fallout. Besides the nuclear winter. Well, at least they have their potato’s. Truly, this is why I often think it is best to just flee to Paraguay in apocalyptic situations. Now only if I knew Guarani...Now that you made me remember, I will have to apologize and fix some of these mistakes because all of these regions were indeed intended to be nuked by the Soviets, this was my mistake, because it has been a year that I do not update this map, and also because it is quite difficult to convert this map onto WorldA:
All they need to do is ask one question to bring the others down. “What is the capital?” Though they will be dehydrated from sweating when the answer is given as “Al-Quds.”
I will help out. The blue country is the Kingdom of the Five Sicilies. Would have been six, but Tunisia isn’t pulling it’s weight, it seems.
A timeline from 1814 to 1950 that I am planning (and a much more coherent attempt)
The POD is Napoleon accepting the Frankfurt proposals in 1813, ensuring that he remains with his dinasty in France, with plenty of influence. Still, Napoleon passes away in 1921 from a stomach ulcer, and what follows is a slow decline of France, with the premature death of Napoleon the 2nd in 1932 opens the floodgates for the Congress of Frankfurt to fall apart. In 1848, the Spring of Nations sees a rapid change in the European landscape, as the Habsburg empire collapses following the Hungarian revolt, paired with the Italian war of independence, in spite of French and Austrian opposition. The German revolutions of 1848-49 see the eventual establishment of the Frankfurt Parliament and a unification of Southern German lands, with a guaranteed protection under Prussia, while the collapse of the Habsburg empire opens the door for an independent Galicia-Lodomeria, which serves as a puppet of Prussia. Another notable revolution takes place in Italy (With the northern territories, excluding Piedmont, establishing a North Italian Confederation), and the Irish revolt seeing Ireland gain the equal status as Scotland and Wales within the UK.
In 1853, the Crimean War begins, with Russia enjoying Prussian support, while Napoleon III of France enters the war along with Austria in an attempt to establish a French-influenced Poland, but failing. Bulgaria this earns its independence, as do Serbia and Greece. With France losing further influence, and Austria crippled from the war, Italy is united, while France suffers humiliation in 1871 when she loses the Franco-Prussian war. Germany unites with a weakened Austria, while a revolt in Paris sees Napoleon III abdicating, after almost forty years of failure.
From 1871 to 1910, a period of peace follows in Europe, with the biggest war being Russia's defeat against Japan in the far east, while Serbia annexes the former Osman territory of Bosnia. A Balkan war in 1910 sees Bulgaria lose its lands from Greece and Serbia, but things remain relatively stable. However the Great war sees its beginning in 1914, when the assassination of regent Wilhelm III during a visit in Rotterdam sees Germany declare war on the Netherlands. Soon enough, France and the United Kingdom declare war on Germany, with Hungary and Poland joining in the side of Germany. From 1914 to 1919, the Great War sees the eventual downfall of the Central Powers, with the Spartacist Uprising and Kapp Putsch fracturing Germany into a bloody civil war that ends in 1922. Hungary spirals into a communist revolution, as does Russia, while the smaller nations reap the benefits.
Some other changes I forgot to mention are that in 1912, Theodor Roosevelt is elected president instead of Wilson, leading to an earlier entry of the US in the Great War, but a different treaty of Versailles. East Germany and the USSR are not in good terms, with the Spartacists disagreeing with Marxist-Leninism and the policy of ultra-centralism. Yugoslavia remains a monarchy under the Karadjordjević dinasty, as does Bulgaria, while Romania sees a takeover by the Iron Guard in 1941 under Corneliu Codreanu. East Prussia remains the last bastion of the Hohenzollern Monarchy, while West Germany sees a conservative democracy in place, following a leadership of the Fatherland Front (IRL the one from Austria) from 1933 to 1949, when Konrad Adenauer comes in power. Germany remains divided, and as decades go by, it might remain like that for some time.
I hope this makes sense somewhat, and every feedback is appreciated in order to improve with my writing and in general efforts to write more AH. Here are the maps from 1814 to 1950

Greece definitely needs a new color. I am wondering if it hasn’t changed innthe last two maps, as the contrast with the blue of the ocean seemed relative clear in the first maps. I am afraid that you are going to want to do something about Hungary, as it has muuuuch too much land. Half of the land You show was populated mainly or with a huge chunk of Croats, Serbs, and Romanians, with large chunks of Germans being very close to the others in the Banat, Transylvania, and the border areas. You can get creative with this sort of stuff really, giving some knock-on effects elsewhere. For stance, you have Galicia-Lodomeria as its own kingdom, at least presumably. Instead of just focusing on Polish culture and taking the name Poland later on they could stick to Galicia and end up with Trans-Carpathia Rus later on, rather than Hungary getting it. Keeping border lands elsewhere might have been better for the Hungarians anyways, and I recall that during WWII the Hungarians didn’t even make the area full provinces like they did to areas taken from Romania and Slovakia.. They knew the people there weren’t Magyars, they just wanted the land.
It's worth noting that Poles are probably not a majority of G-L at this point, though they may be the plurality. Rather, there's roughly equal numbers of Poles and Ruthenians, and 10-15% Jews (as far a I'm aware, the first and only real census was in 1910, showing 46% Poles, 42% Ruthenians, and 11% Jews. Even if the Poles end up in charge, the rest may not be thrilled about becoming Poland.
One of my first real attempts at drawing a map.
It is based on the idea of the September Conspiracy (in the english speaking world better known as the Oster Conspiracy) succeeded.
As a result the plan of making Prinz Wilhelm of Prussia, the one who OTL fell during the battle of France, the King of Germany actually goes through.
And with the NSDAP removed from power and no occupation of the Sudetenland much less the rest of Czechoslovakia I could see the Reich possibly managing to annex Danzig peacefully, as for the Memelland? I imagine that Poland would still issue its ultimatum to Lithuania and Germany would still take advantage of that to pressure Lithuania into returning the territory.
But I really didn't put too much thought into the timeline, I mainly just wanted to try making a map.
I hope you enjoy =)
Jerusalem (all of it) is an international city, co-administered by Syria, Israel, and Malta as well as international observers.

And here I thought, when seeing the Angles, Jutes, Danes, and a huge area that looked more Norse that Swede, that we had another New Sngland Map. Is Gautone another name for Saxons or just a generic thing for Germans? Not that they would necessarily be jvovled I suppose, given how the Baltic Coastline had Wends over all of Mecklenburg and Pomerania.Cross-Posting from the MotF All Stars Invitational: https://www.alternatehistory.com/fo...-all-stars-invitational.555628/#post-25308135
