Here's some images that might give ya'll an idea of what certain things look like ITTL...

Hmmm, the cities in India sounds like pretty great places to live if you have money. Great writeup. Also, is that a vertical farm I see in the central business district?
 
Have you considered threadmarks?

EDIT: Actually, for want of something to do I may as well compile a list myself. Hope this helps when you decide to threadmark. Some of the categories might be misleading, but the content posts don't have a very uniform composition.

Still no threadmarks?
 
Before I get stuck into University for the next month or so, I'm looking into what I can perform the odd 'soft reboot' on next. China's been dealt with, as has Africa, albeit to less of an extent than I've wished for. I'm going to take on the hellish task of transferring the map over to the NextGen WorldA, perhaps later this afternoon if I can get around to doing it then.

I apologise for all of these constant changes to the map, btw. It seems that this TL will never be properly finished.

Le list of things that are worth fixing...

  • The borders of the former PLC .
    • A shared zone between the Germans/Poles sovereignty in Pozan
    • Free City of Danzig? (German Kaliningrad expy?)
    • T h i c c Kingdom of Lithuania (TL;DR screw the Baltics)
    • White Ruthenia and the Ukraine pretty much stay the same.
  • Germany
    • Replacing the single Empire with a rump, fractured 'German Confederation'. This is to parallel the fall of the USSR.
    • The Hohernzollerns are the 'de-facto President of the Confederation and de-jure Emperor of Germany'. Think of the HRE, but its ultimately run by technocrats and corporate CEOs with puppet Princes, Kings, Dukes and Mayors acting as their representatives.
  • Western/Eastern Europe in general...
    • Fixing the internal borders of...
      • France
      • Iberia
      • Italy
      • Russia
      • Austria-Hungary (pretty much stays the same)
  • South America
    • British Patagonia
    • Patagonia (Cyborg!Pinochet expy still runs the show :p)
    • Jesuit Paraguay
    • Rio Grandense State
    • Semi-sovereign Brazilian Native Reservations
    • Autonomous Amazonian state within Brazil
  • The East Indies
    • Retain the VOC government in Java, physically remove everything else.
    • Break up Sumatra. Give Sarawak its OTL borders. Lanfang Republic?
    • Indo State in West Papua run by Geert Wilders lookalike.
  • North America
    • Autonomous US Indian States (Cherokee still in GA/NC. Trail of Tears doesn't happen here. Iroquois, Lakota, Blackfoot and other Great Plains tribes get similar treatment)
    • Independent Utah/Dine State? (Post-Red California collapses)
    • Fix the Canadian Provinces
    • Do the same for Aleyska
    • Ditto for the USA
    • Changes to Oregon territory?

Keeping VOC rule in Java, interesting. Never seen that happen before.

West Papua run by Geert Wilders is just weird in so many ways heh. Isn't he like the Dutch Farage?
Cyborg Pinochet, ok Kit you've won the internet. And summed up your TL in two words :p that and Cyberpunk dystopia

The Dutch have a shitty legacy in-verse, mostly for leaving a bunch of racist states in the wake of their decolonisation period.

Yeah, if a little more obtuse and somewhat more hardline on the question of Islam in Europe. In the case of Wilders in-verse, I'm just using his name and appearance.

Imagine this, but replace the background music with synths.

General-President Sebastián Ortega oversees a military parade. Santiago, 2015.

Note: I don't support Pinochet, his regime or any other forms of authoritarianism.
