I haven't a clue, but I am doing 2m by 2m just to make sure it's big enough haha
I'd imagine the bare minimum would be 1 metre by 1 metre. This is about the same width as a poster I currently have of the world hanging on my wall. That's why I am doubling it.
Yes it is!

Just did some measurements on my wall and it looks like I'll have to clear out some room to make it fit
do you have an estimate on how much it might cost?Just did some measurements on my wall and it looks like I'll have to clear out some room to make it fit
I honestly haven't the foggiest, I have no idea where to even start with it haha, I still gotta look up a company to do it and whatnot.
@Kanan, this is a wonderful map! You deserve all of the cat pictures available online!
I have a little question about the Panama Canal Zone. What led to Colombia accepting the construction of the canal? Why does the US still control it? Is life in the Canal Zone similar to OTL’s Canal Zone?

Fair point
you can definitely count me in as a buyer, though. I finished the measurements and it'll take up the better part of on of my walls but it'll fit, and I think it's worth itFair point
Awesome! I ordered one myself from Zazzle. I did a 38 x 38 inch (96.5cm) print on poster paper. It cost me $50 with shipping, and I did it in order to check the quality ect. If it is good, I will release it publicly so anyone can order one! I spent about $15 more on a higher quality paper, so you could probably get it for about $35. I have also decided I will offer a version with just the world map on it (no 4 smaller maps and no flags), which would be a lot cheaper. Hoping it works out well!! We'll know by the end of the month.
Yay! I'll be playing around with them tonight. I've printed some test sections out, and I've figured out how small it can reasonably go. I've also found that just the world map alone, for a copy that is 30in by 16.5in it only costs $16! It's very exciting!
Yes - had a look at Zazzle - think I'll order it from there as well - they were a lot more flexible about print sizes than other UK websites, so that bodes well.
That's probably just because fewer Jews moved there (since, you know, it's a dictatorial hellhole).

Not to mention the Nazis don't exist and the Holocaust was butterflied away, meaning that more Jews (especially Ashkenazis) stay in Central and Eastern Europe in this world.
Hey wait a second, since there was no holocaust or even a proper WWII and the resulting immigration, how did this Israel grow out of Mandatory Palestine anyway?
Amazing world map by the way, but I also want to mention that after creeping Kanan's reddit posts, the map with European countries in North America (which I saw a few days ago but I did not realize was from her) is absolutely brilliant and perfectly absurd so I'm shouting that out too.
If my assumptions are correct, active military rebellion. Also explains why it's an underdeveloped military junta instead of a high-tech democracy.
It's basically whinged from dictatorship to kinda liberalised to dictatorship since losing the Chaco War to Bolivia.
They became independent during the Indonesian War. What's the Indonesian War? Well, you'll have to wait until the summer/fall when I begin the Asia Tour in earnest
I'd say pretty similar to our own, but you need to take into account that consumerism has far less of an impact on society and culture, so it would be fairly different in that sense.
Israel is not a fun place.
Correct.
The idea of a Jewish state in Palestine pre-dates the Holocaust (see: Balfour Declaration), and this Israel is an outgrowth of that. During the 1910s to 1940s, a large number of Europe's Jewish population did migrate away, some towards the British Colony of Palestine, and others to the new world (the United States and Brazil are prime examples). Palestine eventually was given responsible government that set out to establish an equal state, and due to pressure on London to have a friendly state next to the Suez, Britain granted Palestine defacto independence in the 1950s. The country was highly unstable, and during the Suez Crisis, while Britain was busy keeping the peace in Germany, the Palestinian military declared the country a Republic, renamed it to Israel, and has ruled with an iron fist since then under a doctrine of self-reliance. It's a doctrine that mixes a lot of the elements of fascism and communism.
Thanks!! This is the offending map in question, so people don't have to trudge through my reddit history haha
