Each column on the legend/key is an allied bloc. White means neutral.
The Baghdad Pact of OTL survived the coup, though Iraq was halved in the process, with a western-friendly Kurdistan in the north. Cyprus was negotiated. Iran is under a shah that's slightly less repressive. Pakistan seems likely to leave soon, though that would mean it would have to face off against India and the other bloc.
The Francophone Community is like the Commonwealth of Nations except with a stronger mutual defense/anti-Communism package. France left NATO in the '60s, but continues to collaborate with them. Algeria became an associated nation earlier on in OTL's conflict.
The Bandung Accord was created at OTL's Conference. It is the loosest of all blocs. It stands for the points outlined in OTL's conference, plus economic cooperation and very strong defensive measures (theoretically). The members get along much better than OTL, especially China, India, and Indonesia. It's not exactly nonaligned, but it truly is neutral, with nations that don't particularly care for better relations from either the NATO-led bloc or the Warsaw Pact one. The Accord doesn't have much of an ideology other than anticolonialism and maybe some tenets of socialism. The PRC is still a PR, but its history is much different from OTL's. The Sino-Soviet split happened earlier, and the reasons behind had the sides reversed, if you know what I mean. Chinese communism is not as strict as it was in OTL, and is very much different from Soviet-styled communism. However, it's still a very evangelical sort of ideology, and is opposed to the West in rhetoric at least.
It's not a true three-way cold war, though some in China would want it to be. NATO and the Warsaw Pact, as in OTL, support locals, initiate covert operations, and send troops when they want their ideology to rule in a particular country. The Bandung Accord does the same except send troops, and it never has actually done so.
I'm still not sure about what color to put some of the remaining African nations under. Neutral seems good enough.
The year is, I don’t know, 1980.
