Yeah that's what I was going on! Glad to see the family back together. As always Kanan you have created my favourite timeline on the site; its both interesting and almost I wish I lived in it. It'd be wonderful if not for the USSR and South Africa :|.

Oh okay! I thought I also slapped it in a sidebar in some news graphic somewhere. Guess not! But this just leaves Nigeria as the only one who left from the Burmese War and did not rejoin.
Thank you so much!! That honestly means a lot. I'm fired up and ready to produce a ton more content, we'll party like it's 2018 again with the speed I hope to get stuff done. (hopefully with the same quality!!)
And i wouldn't be so quick to judge the USSR...
Ah I'm sure you did mention it I probably just missed it! I remember seeing something about them considering it but must have missed the final confirmation. And hurray, I remained stunned at your ability to crank this stuff out at such consistently high quality. Sometimes this feels like a more well thought out world than OTL
And yeah I was maybe being a bit harsh on the Soviets, they did just have a democratic election after all, which is a damn sight better than Russia has done IOTL.
I see Kampuchea still exists ITTL, is it as terrifying as it as OTL, or is it just slightly more sane?

You know @Kanan, all this is leading me to wonder what might Alaska (from Russian America) and any of the nations of Antarctica (in Great White South) look like if they existed in the world of OFC, as well as that of their neighbors (I doubt the U.S. and Canada might expand to the Pacific since Russia would back Mexico in that case)
More precisely, how might North America evolve with a strong Russian presence in the Northwest, and also how differently Antarctica might have been colonized in this world had it not been covered in ice

I’m crying from your awesomeness. May you be blessed with cat pictures for 100 years!
Though I was wondering, wasn’t Israel’s population about 13 million instead of 7.6 million?
Also, what about GDP?

Thank you so much!!
The population, borders, and flags are assumed to have been correct this entire time. That 13 million number does not exist.
The GDP numbers have been adjusted to OFC$s, and are NOT equal to IRL$s. Israel's GDP/c is 9,807.85 with a total GDP output of $75.24 billion.
For reference, the United States of America has a GDP/c of 49,744.63 with an economy of $15.870 trillion. Behind them is the Soviet Union with an economic output of $6.719 trillion.
I will have more economic-based information shortly, such as a list of the largest economies.
A few queries and statements based on the latest map:
I note that British Antarctica has a permanent population of 9,500, in contrast to OTL's 250 during the Summer. Was there not an Antarctic Treaty ITTL? If so, what activities are most of that permanent population engaged in?
And is China still using the Wade-Giles mode of romanisation? I note that their capital is listed as Nanking.
Come to think of it, that does raise some interesting questions. Are there any other places that have retained the older forms of English naming?
I have to say that Ovawambo and Hurueoneo have some bloody good flags. This world may have its faults, but at least the domination of the accursed plain tricolour has been averted.
Unfortunately Socotra's flag appears to have been assembled by the most compromise-ridden committee, in stark contrast to Uganda's. Now that one is a nice British ensign design.
And when did Sri Lanka undergo the official name change from Ceylon?
Regardless of the troubles in Africa, at the very least the Middle East looks less turbulent.
Overall, I very much enjoy hearing about the countries of this world. It all feels very plausible and is generally just fun to look at and read about.
You know, I think I might just get that map printed out to go on my bedroom wall. It is simply schnazzy.

Wait, maybe I’m just being stupid, but... what’s on the western half of Papua? OTL that’s Indonesia, but it’s a different color...
There was no Antarctic Treaty. The continent is known as the "Battleground of the Cold War" for the conflicts that happened there. It's not a pretty place. The permanent population are a highly subsidised group to provide legitimacy to the territorial claims of the parent nations. There has been some limited talk of granting the Enderby and Roosevelt Territories statehood to further enhance American claims to the region. It remains one of the few places that the Soviet Union retains a complete and unshakable secrecy about.
They are.
Most places in Africa that haven't explicitly changed them. Korea and Japan retain a few.
Thanks! I can only take credit for the Hurueno flag. The Ovawambo flag was all @Generalissimo Maximus. If you like her flags, seriously check out her timeline. "1848 Victorious: A History of the World"
Socotra's flag is an abomination, I agree. Uganda's is probably my favourite ensign out there. Shout out to the Bahamas, who decided to not only change the blue of the ensign, but also the blue of the Union Jack.
In the 1980s as a quite form of protest of Britain's continued ownership of the Nicobar Islands, and to gain favour with India.
For the most part, it is. It's locked into a Cold War of sorts with the British and Arabia being the main counters to Soviet Kurdistan and... Israel. With America butting in through their alliance with Iran.
Awesome!! that's the type of quality I strive for!!
Awesome! I know I am going to be doing that soon. If you want, let me know how big you want it (cm x cm, I plan on doing it 200cmx200cm) and I can export a copy for you!
Correct!
@Kanan so I assume the Commonwealth elections are retconned? If so it'll be interesting to see how the composition of parliament looks with the addition of several large African nations that will add a large social conservative bloc but also potentially draw power away from the Anglosphere
Well, after a lot of time, here's the big reveal! Special thanks to @AP246 for inspiring me to do this, and for @Generalissimo Maximus for help with making a bunch of the flags!
This is the fully up to date World Map for Our Fair Country, and it will be the very final "modern-day lore adjustment/retcon" I will be doing. From here on out - everything is set in stone. Now, it's time to dive into European history and modern politics! Get ready!
A much larger (12,000px) version of this map can be seen here. I recommend it for viewing the detail.
Thanks for the mention, and truly an incredible map!
You know, I'm really not sure. This is my first foray into the world of printing things, and I'm not entirely sure what would be a good size for putting on a wall.
