I actually don't know what the frontiers would have been, so could I get a description of them?I'd been wondering about this for a while, but I've never seen an actual map of it, only vague descriptions of what the frontiers between Russia and China were supposed to have been...
This is the link Wikipedia provides:I actually don't know what the frontiers would have been, so could I get a description of them?
As it could have/should have been, back around 1878
Isn't Boguslaw the one Lithuanians still refer to as "the Louse"The Treaty of Radnot, signed on December 6, 1656, was meant to formally partition Poland-Lithuania after the Second Northern War. According to the treaty:

- Sweden was to receive Royal Prussia, Kujawy, northern Masovia, Samogitia, Courland and Inflanty.
- Bogusław Radziwiłł was to receive the Nowogrodek Voivodeship.
- Brandenburg to receive Greater Poland.
- The Cossack Hetmanate would receive a large portion of south-east Poland.
- The rest would be given to the prince of Transylvania.
In addition, Bogusław Radziwiłł's claims at the treaty:

Now, the fate of Lithuania Proper was uncertain, and from what I can infer, was to be possibly a Swedish vassal or completely independent.

The first map suggested that Warmia (and Danzig too, from the looks of it) was to go to Brandenburg as well. You seem to have given Ducal Prussia to Sweden for some reason, even though it was in personal-union with Brandenburg at the time.Now, the fate of Lithuania Proper was uncertain, and from what I can infer, was to be possibly a Swedish vassal or completely independent.

If you don't mind me asking, what was the source of the 2nd map above (the one with the Polish and English captions?) The evolution of the external and interior borders of Lithuania and the PLC are particularly interesting to me, I'd love to see more from that seriesThe Treaty of Radnot, signed on December 6, 1656, was meant to formally partition Poland-Lithuania after the Second Northern War.

Oops lolYou seem to have given Ducal Prussia to Sweden for some reason
Idk I found that map on r/polskaIf you don't mind me asking, what was the source of the 2nd map above (the one with the Polish and English captions?)
Won't work nowadays: the Macedonian Slavs would keep insisting they're Macedonians, because they know if they agreed to be western Bulgarians, the Greeks would put on this really smug expression.
Yup. On the other hand, wether is first map historically accurate or not, that Prussia, surrounded by Sweden which territories are surrounded by Prussian (_Brandenburg) territories... thats terribleThe first map suggested that Warmia (and Danzig too, from the looks of it) was to go to Brandenburg as well. You seem to have given Ducal Prussia to Sweden for some reason, even though it was in personal-union with Brandenburg at the time.
Wasn’t that in Malê Rising?Today, I found out about the proposal to have Sultan Abdulaziz become king of a semi-independent Bulgaria.

That would have been...interesting.
There was an autonomous (vassal) Bulgaria within the Ottoman Empire in that TL, for a while. I don't think they were in personal union.Wasn’t that in Malê Rising?
On some level that does make sense, as Northeastern Bulgaria was majority Turkish.Today, I found out about the proposal to have Sultan Abdulaziz become king of a semi-independent Bulgaria.

The Balkans were basically a Jackson Pollock painting of ethnicity at the time.On some level that does make sense, as Northeastern Bulgaria was majority Turkish.
