Question about this kind of Europe

Do you have a nonextended version of this map for easier viewing?

And this seems to be...rather interesting, as geography and divisions don't always match up well.

1) I tried to paste photobucket link here, but didn't work. I'll try it later.

2) I don't know whether that really was Portugal's hobby in their colonies, or that my base map was just plain wrong.....

Russia ruling northern Iran is another thing. Some mountains seem to make that an odd border unless this is mid-war.
 
I thought it was their official area of influence there IOTL ?

I don't know about area of influence, but Russian actual control...it looks like Russia is planning to surround British India.

So it looks like Russia is completely dominating the area (save the part in another color).

I plan Russia to annex large swathes of the formerly Chinese northern frontier, that countries of Mongolia, Manchuria and Xinjiang basically. However, for the last part only the northern part of it. Takla Makan was left Chinese as a buffer area in order to gain British toleration of the annexation.


By the way, do you happen to know how much was the chance for Russian annexation of those areas IOTL ?
 
Looks like a fun world to do TL in:)

Are you going to do one are just keep the discussion/maps going on?

Oh I really want to do one, but I have to at first rationalize this draft.

These are the main ideas that I want to keep in. The rest can go if it's just too unrealisitc or even in conflict with the main ideas :

- Southern America remains British
- Earlier, Hannover-led unification of Germany, that leaves both Austria and Prussia outside.
- Ottoman Empire success in repelling Russian invasion in 1877-78 (unless that the earlier two things above, which happens earlier, will butterfly this war. Basically, a mostly intact Ottoman Empire that will later resurgent.
- Successful UPSA
 
Suggestion, just to chew on: Is it impossible (so far as how it relates to your existing ideas) to have this something where Prussia is not part of Brandenburg?

So Brandenburg should be in Germany, but Prussia is just a freaky stands-out-as-not-really-belonging thing.

So does this mean that Britain and Germany are close Allies, due to the shared blood of the Royals? (forgive me if this has been answered)

By "Prussia" I do mean that our usual "Kingdom of Prussia", that is Brandenburgen Empire in all but name. I aim for an actually Kleindeutchland, that if possible.

Maybe I should just say "earlier German unification" without the Prussia part, but I'm really interested in a Germany that excludes Brandenburg.

Initially, certainly. Later, is what I'm currently wondering about. Close blood relations between Royal Family is not a guarantee that their friendship will remain eternal, though it makes it more likely. Germany will certainly want to be recognized as a major European nation instead of just a British pawn, and I would assume that France won't like a too terribly Anglo-phile Germany.

That would be hard. Unlike Austria, which is distinct in its own little empire post-Napoleon (and in some ways earlier), Brandenburg has been tied to whole setup of German states.

I wouldn't say its impossible, but it feels rather weird. Not to say it can't be done, just...why would it be?

I thought Prussia had been conservative enough and tended quite exclusivist as far as German-ness in concerned, until they got Rhineland...

Had they lost Rhineland, but managed to fend off the wave of unification, won't it be possible for them to revert back to their own distinct identity ?
