Official UCS Thread

I've decided to do what this board needs. A new UCS thread. this will be in three parts

-> Collating existing examples
-> Sorting out what needs to be done
-> Creating a new UCS.

Here's the one Roberto uses on his OTL map thead

What would be the colour/pattern for the UN? I know they don't hold large swathes of territory, but an occupation force might have some sort of visible area on a global map, say in the Korean War?
 
A series of entities not sufficiently represented by the UCS by now are the different imperial states of the Holy Roman Empire ("Early Modern" era). The UCS suggests a paler shade of Brandenburgian grey for the entire HRE, while a lighter shade of Austrian purple would often make more sense.

Moreover, while the number of states is too large and most entities are insignificant, it would be certainly helpful to have designated colors for Wittelsbach (Bavaria/Palatinate), Saxony, Imperial Church (as a collective term for all prince-bishoprics and prince-abbeys) and Free Cities.

What about a shade of Roman golden for the Imperial Church, and something blueish for the Wittelsbachs?
 
Yes we did. But I don't think it was widely circulated enough. I've seen at least four different widely used versions of the UCS. Contact Thande, I beliueve he has the most up to date version yes?
 
One thing I have thought of is that we have a 'normal' UCS consisting of Major Powers (USSR, China, Japan etc.) but then have a more comprehensive UCS to be able to show more detailed areas properly. For instance, there would be a colour for Croatia. You wouldn't need to put Croatia on every map (shouldn't really) but if you needed to show, say, Croatian support for the Croats in the Bosnian War, there would be a colour that everybody would use for Croatia.
 
In every map I've seen where someone's shown the UN as holding territory, usually as a result of a disaster it's always been the blue from the UN Flag.


As for th UCS, the original one is definitely lacking, which is of course why I created my own, otherwise known as the ICS. :D
 
well, in the map below, it's Roberto UCS + official UCS colours for Hungary, Romania and Serbia off another thread + self created Croatia colour.
