More from Timeline -350Bf:
The armies of Alexander (a slightly different Alexander, as the POD is at his conception) that in OTL conquered Persia in -350Bf focused more on unifying the Greek Mediterranean and the adjoining regions, as well as Mesopotamia and Egypt. Meanwhile, the Romans have lost disastrously to the Safini (or as we know them, Samnites) and have seen their territory greatly reduced and occupied (but not fully annexed) by the enemy. In -324, Alexander led his army north from Greek Italy, and when most of the Safini garrison was taken to the front lines the Romans revolted. The skilled and unusually lucky Fabius Rullianus, supported by several Alexandrine regiments, broke the Safinic hold on not only Rome but the rest of the Tiber valley and the Latin coast. He also advised Alexander in Safinic tactics, which the Romans had learned of in the humiliation of the First Safinic War. After their victory in -316, Rome and the Alexandrine Empire divided Safinia, and Rome was once again an independent republic, if solidly in the Alexandrine orbit. Roman soldiers would be on the front lines of Alexandro-Carthaginian proxy wars in northern Italy and around the Tyrrhenian Sea for decades to come, expanding both the Empire's influence and their own small Republic's borders, until the state was annexed into the Empire in -252.
(Words used- Independence and Expanded Microstate, both applying to Rome)

I really like this timeline. Maybe I like the story even more than the map itself. Anyway, great job again!
And I really like it by the way. It has some sort of schoolbook feeling and the image put in is awesome.
The colony of British Guinea gained its independence in 1977 as the Republic of Upper Guinea with Ahmed Kamaru as its first president. Kamaru spent much time studying politics and economics in Europe prior to his return to his home land in 1973. Now president, he has set about putting his studies into practice in a bold vision to transform the young republic into a prosperous, independent nation. This map, produced by the Ministry of Transport, is the result of Kamaru's policy to improve land transport links in order to promote trade and connect the countries varied regions and communities.
Words used: Independence, Roads.
(Hope I've got everything this time!)
Upper Guinea covers OTL Sierra Leone, most of Guinea-Conakry, southern Mali, southern Senegal, the Gambia and very small bits of Côte d'Ivoire and Mauritania.

Yay, another entry! Great map! I like the concept of "Upper Guinea".
This was just a quick map, but I feel a little obliged to put something up. It is again from Timeline -350Bf, this time highlighting Gauhata (OTL Ghat, Libya), one of the most important cities of the greatest of -350Bf's dualistic faiths, Bogotism, and a geopolitical anomaly- a peaceful and demilitarized holy city under joint sovereignty of two bitter enemies. Words used are Desert and Demilitarization. The included image is the Head of the Great Bull, Revelator of Truth, as depicted by the statue in front of the Great Bull Temple in Gauhata.
If you find the text illegible, it reads:
The town of Gauhata had a rather mundane history until the Mouth of God Bogotan led the villagers up the Hacacus Mountains to receive his Revelation. The capital of the Hamanochate remained in Gauhata under the first three Hamanochs, but after Maessian moved the government north the town became chiefly a site of pilgrimage.
----
For 1500 years, the town remained placid under the rule of the Stewards of the Great Bull Temple. However, in the late sixteenth century the violent rivalry between Boli and Behambim led their conquering armies ever eastward across the Deserts, and the eyes of the world turned to Gauhata, which was not clearly within either side's grasp. The two armies, locked in a rolling battle heading towards the Hacacus ridge, reached the city two days before 1587th anniversary of the Revelation.
----
The bloodshed burst into the holy city unchecked, until a Bolic soldier struck down a young Apprentice Steward of the Temple, prompting a sober meeting between the commanders of the opposing forces. The result was a treaty which defined a border between the two from Hogarrus to the Hacacus, and established the Condominium of the Vale of Gauhata, a small region around the town which would effectively remain independent. No military presence was allowed in or immediately around the Condominium, leaving it peaceful as well. Their heroism has allowed the center of Bogotism to remain clean and pure.
