Medieval Map II

Here's a map of the Far East...

Interesting- Do the Union of South Africa and Australia have histories similar to OTL?

Here's my world's Africa, 1900. It's locked in a struggle between Muslim states, led by the Caliphate of Azania, and formerly the Caliphate of Marrakech, and the Christian states, led by Aethiopia. I am aware that "Mozambique" is a bit north- Let's just say that the city of that name was built further north. The British have a colony at the cape, and the Imperium Hispaniae has consolidated the west african "Free Kingdoms" into one nation, which were formerly under the "guidance" of various Spanish states. There was a small one, Dilongo, which was "guided" by Vasconia, but the Imperium forced Vasconia to give that up as to remain independent. Also, in case there is any color confusion, Madagascar and Azania are separate.

Union of South Africa and Australia have similar histories due to them being 'refugee nations', but the Union of South Africa is a bit more bloodier and Australia being under the "wing" of Breyton [India]. If you could compare their population at 1973, Australia has more "Asian" people there with "Breytonians" [aka "Indians] being a close second --and-- Union of South Africa being more African, 'British', and anything else that they can get.

Following is a map of Africa at 1973. The Sultanate of Songhey is a sultanate partly from all the religious strife that engulfed the Middle East and partly from all the refugees from that place. While Egypt may claim that it is the leading power of Islam, and the UEA being the power that controls Mecca, it is the Sultanate of Songhey that has the true representation and power of Islam.

The Congo is settled and ruled by the United Commonwealth, although it's more or less on it's own.

The Maghreb States is all those other states in the Maghreb (aka "North Africa") that are too many to draw on the map

Oh and Angolia was Portuguese but now it's free.

Here's my newest Europe map. It's 1935, and the Imperium Hispaniae has been recreated into a new Imperium. The capital of this Imperium, and it's namesake, is in the city of Andorra, which was percieved as having a history of being both French and Spanish, and thus a suitable capital for the new Imperium Andorrae.
States have begun to form in North Africa. New Libya is a very weak state that will soon shrivel up and die. The Regency of Algiers is an odd state, whose ruler, the Regent, still claims loyalty to "The Caliph in Marrakech", though obviously there is no Caliph there.
The Republic of Milan, a mostly-Italian state that broke away from Bavaro-Austria, has joined the Italic League.
Meanwhile, seeing both France and Bavaro-Austria gone, Hannover has returned to the ways of German Unification, and became the Kingdom of Germany again. It has annexed most of Bavaria.
In Central Europe, the CEF and the Slavic Free State have merged, as to counter military buildups in Yugoslavia, which wishes to regain it's northern provinces. Yugoslavia is Bulgarian-dominated in this TL, it's capital at Sofya.
The Narazvamid Dynasty that ruled over the Caucasus have died out, and the Grand Principality has been merged with Azerbaijan. Under the Caucasian Naravamid, Islam has expanded- Think the Ottoman Balkans for an explanation why, as similar things have happened in both places. The Khanate of Kalmykia still klings to the Buddhist faith.

It's 1975. Due to the Breytonic Federation being more appealing than most states, what is left of China has associated and been accepted to the Federation. There is some rumor that the Breytonic Federation will formally adopt the title as "Great Breytonnyia" due to it's size and shape. Australia is a member of the Federation but only to face down Indonesia and it's rumblings on declaring war on Australia for some trivial thing.

This African map is at the same time as the last Europe map: 1935, I believe. Katanga, a primarily Christian area of the Caliphate, has been cleaved off of it as an independent Principality. Also, taking advantage of the fall of the Caliphate, Nubia has been taken off of Misr. Aethiopia has expanded into Arabia a bit more, forming the Protectorate of Yemen. The FKAC has annexed the breakaway Azanian territory of Piobgo.

Europe...1984

The Republic of France, after much prodding by the FRG and the Iberian Union, has collapsed. Much of what was France is now "protected" by those two states. This was tied with the collapse of the Russian Socialist Republics, who quickly got it's act together under the banner of "Commonwealth of Independent States". Most unfortunately, by the time it got it's act together, much of what did consist of Russia had been gobbled up by the United Commonwealth and the Ukrainian State, now named Ukraine-Moldova.

In other news, the Algerian Free State emerged from the Algerian Republic and the Berber Alliance. The Tunisian Republic had a "mini" revolution and now goes by the name Tunusa, although much of it's arms did come from the the UEA.

The UEA now consists of Persia, which has also collapsed in the face of the increasing military and economic might of the Brittanic Union [Formerly the Breytonnic Federation]. This soon led to the "Islamification" of Egypt, which is now controlled by UEA agents.

The Duchy of Courland had a 'Velvet Divorce". It is still in the Prussian Bloc although Prussia itself has merged into the United Commonwealth.

There is an active economic and military alliance between the United Commmonwealth, Iberian Union, and the United Commonwealth. No one currently expects "peace" to be it's main agenda.

Italia is currently experiencing economic turmoil with Greece loosing bits from it's Turkish 'states' and sliding into political free-for-all. Italia, most unfortunately, has lost a big chunk of it's territory to the FRG, which used it as a door to France. Italia is currently opposing any efforts by the UC/IU/FRG bloc but has only found allies in the UEA.

How is Brittanica expanding so quickly?

By 1950, Africa has absorbed New Libya. The Andorran Imperium has become semi-Federal, forming Provinces of Fez, Spain, Provence, France, and naming the German section "Westphalia". The Kingdom of Germany has gained it's long-awaited goal of German unification after it's conquest of Austria, and Venice has joined the Italic League.
The Britannic Alliance between Cornwall and Britanny has collapsed, ending the last remnant of the United Britannic Kingdom. The few remaining colonial possesions (mostly islands) have been divided up.
The Republic of Vladimir has begun a decline. This is noted by the fact that the Khanate of Kalmykia taking lands across the Caspian. Also in the region, Georgia, a region that mainly resisted islamization while under Narazvamid rule, has broke away from Greater Azerbaijan.
Armenia has annexed Edessa, ending the long history of the Crusader states. Some in Europe call for Armenian blood- Most don't care.
Two long-declining Kingdoms have changed- Denmark-Westrogothia-Sweden has been annexed into the Northern European Federation and the Kingdom of the Isles has lost the Balerics to Andorra.
Yugoslavia has fallen apart, the western chunk joining the Central European Federation, and a rump Bulgarian state.

The Brittanic Union is expanding rapidly in part due to it's expertise in governing an ethnically diverse area as well as it's sound economic policy, which is booming because of it's said expertise.

It's also expanding in part from all the tiresome quibbles that other nations have with each other and the Brittanic Union seems a better option than a dying state (i.e. Russian Socialist State).

---------------------------------------
North America in 1983

The bit of the Pacific Coast up to Alaska has acutally been sold to Hongzu because of all the refugees that are pouring from Asia. As the Canadians see it: "Give the Pacific Coast up to the Hongzu's and let them deal with the Tolosians" (who are quite bothersome in their eyes)

United Britanya (aka Canada) is currently having a problem steering a diplomatic course with it's large neighbor with the Brittanic Union.

I give you my 450 year mutation of the very first map. I keep the OTL borders on most cause I was being lazy.

Wow, that world map was bad... I'm ashamed...

For everyone else, back when map-making was a new field of ah.comness...

Yea rite :rolleyes:
 
Of course, this Indonesia is entirely the same as OTL Indonesia, and should be treated as such!

Really, Xeno, this is a POD back in the 1200s, I think we can allow an aggressive Nation-Named-Indonesia.

Entirely different Indonesia ? :rolleyes: Define Indonesia !

It's clear already that before I came here it was free and unstoppable to think that Indonesia has been an expansionist rogue state , a founding member of ASEAN that would've attacked Australia under Soeharto's command :rolleyes::p

What makes me sad that they don't get the irony of such thought....
