Hello folx an idea recently came up to my mind after seeing @Drex´s post on the QBaAM Improvement thread (https://www.alternatehistory.com/forum/threads/the-q-bam-improvement-and-core-thread.220951/page-154): Why not make a standardized atlas of the world, to include the political, cultural and lingusitic setup?
(Yes, I was inspired by Chronas.org, but looking at the irregularities I doubt it be a best resource).
FAQ:
Why? Because we can . I mean information is out there, the map is user-friendly and would be a time-saving resource for AH.comers so that they dont need to look up stuff. Also, Mappers are gonna like it.
There are inaccuracies...Agreed. No one is perfect. If you feel like something needs to be tackled, it's best to be constructive, to propose a solution to issues that nerve you.
Can I contribute? Of course you can, if you feel like you are decently knowledgeable of the area, you are welcome to use the colour schemes and fill provinces in!
Can I post Alternate Historical outcoms over here? Yes, you can, but YOU MUST PUT A BOLD CAPITAL DISCLAIMER THAT IT IS ATL. Of course, you may post alternate outcomes .
What is the methodology? Each province is to be coloured by the colour which represents the characterics of the majority or plurality of the population there. Yes you have heard. In case you are sympathetic to some kind of a minority there, and you wish to map them, well there certainly was at least one time period where they dominated the area, why not map it back then
What are our resources?
1. Map:
By @Drex,with minor changes
2. Political: I would suggest a standadized scheme, preferably THICC by @Crazy Boris
3. Religions: TURCS by me (https://www.alternatehistory.com/forum/threads/the-universal-religious-colour-scheme-turcs-without-caicos.433178/page-4)
4. Cultural: Using THICC, the second-to-he right variation of each colour. Valid categories would include Aragonese, Catalan, Galician etc.

5. Linguistic: To show language families and branches. Basically to group related cultures. valid categories to include West Slavic, North Germanic etc. Colour scheme based upon this: https://www.alternatehistory.com/forum/threads/linguistic-map-thread.245969/page-14
Please try to be as constructive as possible.
