So- since I'm getting hassle over it being the Columbian Republics, I've retconned it to be the Leonian Republics.
Its alright, sometimes there are just (Alt) historical coincidences… :) (Perhaps New Leon? ;) )

^Hmm… I wonder how the same new world names from OTL got used here(Canada, Brazil, *COLOMBIA*?!)

brazil comes from the name of Brazilwood, which grows in coastal Brazil. when the first people landed there they called it Brazil because of all the Brazilwood.

where does the name canada come from? isnt it an Indian tribe?
 
Yeah although the Canadians themselves don't know where it came from- (similar to Monreal (or was it Toronto?))

1924.

What's up with Desmond? With Castile being landlocked, it seems rather hard to hold on to a chunk of Ireland.

Let me anwser that. It comes from an Indian word for settlement, Kanata, which evolved to mean everything North of the St. Lawerance River.

So, is the County of Tripoli a Protectorate or Client state of Egypt?(It still has its boarders, but it’s the same color?)
 
1935

Desmond, culturally/politically/ethnically, is seperate from the rest of Ireland because of it's brief encounter with the Castillian-Frankish Empire. Due to the collapse of the Castillian-Frankish Empire, most of those folks around that unknown bay between Acquitane and the northern portion of Spain, have immigrated to Desmond, thereby making it a seperate state within the Irish Free State.

I should note that the Viceroy of Allepo is an Islamic state that rebelled on it's own terms and have refused to be part of the "Greek Hegemony".

Lately, Greece has established the Viceroys as a quasi-bargain with the other bits in order to hold on to the theme that they are an "Empire" when they are nothing but a confederation as of 1935.

Libya is in a "personal union" with the Tunisian Republic.

The County of Tripoli and the Kingdom of Jerusalem were semi-autonomous counties within the Sultanate of Egypt; this soon led to their "independence" although it is more or less Aleppo run with a figurehead government to show folks that it is "independent". (This was one of the causes of Aleppo succeding from Egypt.)

Siani and the Republic of Mesopotania are foreign "aided" although looking towards Aleppo for regional security.

Barceleon is independent but owes fealty to the French Republic in exchange for it being "free".

Portugal is ...experiencing some difficulty....

Well- the Mesopotanian Republic is actually a foreign construct, given that Russia and Greece (mostly Greece) has been sort of the "active ingredient" for that said republic's independence (also including Sinai) and thus why it ain't where Mesopotainia is supposed to be.

Malta is currently up in limbo.

Persia is currently expriencing a meltdown and thus the "successor states"
 
Here's my newest Map. The Sultanate of Mesopotamia has melted down, losing a massive war against the Yafarezids and Palestinia, and Yafarezid Prince Reza Mohammed has been placed on the Sultan's throne. The Kingdom of Thessalonica and the related Duchy of Thrace have lost a massive war against the Greeks, which resulted in the continued New Byzantine hold on Otranto, and the annexation of all Thessalonica except for a core area. To counter Greek influence, Italic colonization in Thessalonica is promoted, though Italians are not even a quarter of the population. Fez has wasted resources on a massive military campaign to establish true control over the Sahara. The Kingdom of the Yugoslavs has been vassalized by the Jagellion Empire, and Venice has reasserted independence from the Italian League, which unlike the strong Iberic variant, is rapidly falling apart. The Muscovite Dynasty that ruled the Caucasus Mountains died out, resulting in a war between Russian Crown Prince Yaroslavl's claim, hoping to bring the Caucasus into the Empire, and the Narazmid claimant, Mustafa. Mustafa won the war, and was crowned Mustafa I of the Caucasus. Yaroslavl was killed, and the Empire of All Russias split between the two branches of the Novgorite Dynasty, the Konstantinovich and the Vladimirovich. The Earl of Northumbria has secured the thrones of all the British isles, except for the UBK, a major sea power with holdings in the Arbias*. Also, in the Arabian Peninsula, the Hashemites have built a powerful power base, and put a claim on the Caliphate. Recently, King Georg III of Prussia died heirless, and the powers (Bavaro-Austria, France, and Konstantinovich Russia) approved the Jagellion claim, however, the Kingdom of Prussia is to remain separate from the Jagellion Empire.

^France has quite a chunk of Germany, there… (Nice map, by the way)
Yep, seized after the Kingdom of Germany was wiped out. Nationalism never comes into play in this timeline, the most nationalistic state was Germany, and that got basically wiped out, and replaced with the autocratic (a French Prince, Charles de Orleans, was put on the throne) Kingdom of Hannover.
 
Here's another map- Probably one of the last I'll make.

The King of Fez, following a successful conquest of Libya, has built a new palace in Marrakech and laid claim to the Caliphate. In exchange for a free hand in taking over the Sultanate of Misr, the Kingdom of Palestinia has sold Cyprus to the Greeks. New Byzantium has also annexed it's puppet Sultanate after a revolt. After the death of the heirless Sultan Reza Mohammed Yafarezid I of Mespotamia, the Persian Empire has simply annexed it. Also, the Caliph in Riyadh has taken the Hijaz from the Caliphate based there, resulting in a rump state mainly kept alive by Palestinia as a buffer.
The Crimean Republic has gained most of the peninsula from Rus', and joined the Italic League, which is little more than a free trade group. The northern part of the Kingdom of Yugoslavs has broken off, forming the "Slavic Free State", a democratic state. (Shocking!) The ancient Navarrese royals, a line dating back to the first map, have died heirless. Complex Navarrese Succession laws have also assured this downfall. The Prince of Vasconia, the King of Extremadura (Currently head of the Iberic League, on his death the crown will pass to the King of Portugal) and the King of France have all laid claim to the Kingdom, and have invaded to press their claims. The Navarrese Nobles selected Prince Alfred of Northumbria to be King, but he refused when the war began. Vasconia currently holds the Basque sections, and the rest is divided between Iberia and France.
In Hannover, the Gotha-Southphalias (Southphalia did exist- Note "Sudfalen" on my earlier maps) have decided to throw off the yoke of the French Orleans King. Bavaro-Austria and France have recently entered to support King Charles Louis I, however, the revolt has entered Prussia.
The long civil war between Vladimirovich and Konstantinovich ahs resulted in the split of the Empire of All Russia, most of which ends up in the hands of the Vladmirovich branch of the Novgorites.
The United Kingdom of Great Britain has been formally formed. Most of the power lies in the Nobles of the former Earldom of Northumbria, however. The King of Man has been granted control of the island, while staying within the United Kingdom.
Finally, as this map was being made, Granada erupted in revolt against the the Caliphate of Marrakech.

No. The Viceroys that are *free* are called by some other name but most just call them Viceroys. Those that aren't *free* are more or less being bribed (most heavily) to say within Greece.
