Working on a world-map for an upcoming timeline I've been working on with a friend from Discord. Calling it Out of One - Many, mainly after what happens in North America. That being said, here's a section of Europe in 2018:

Been trying some stuff for my Pachamama Awakens world map. As you might know, it takes place after a Biopunk technological revolution and a worldwide bioweapon conflict, and it's set in 2143. That's plenty of time, so I figured, why no go a little crazy?. Probably gonna scrap some ideas, but here's a tease:

Some highlights:

  • Reborn Tawantinsuyu
  • NeoFederalist Argentina, now with Communalism #googleBookchin (probably gonna scrap this one)
  • Union of Caribbean Biosocialist Republics
  • Union of African States
  • Saharan Security Zone
  • Balkanized Spain and UK
  • Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan and the Hejaz
  • Confederation of the Levant and International City of Jerusalem
  • and for the first time ever in AH.com:

YUGOSLAVIA

Presh as hell, as usual for Pachamama Awakens, can't wait to see the whole thing. Also Bookchin Argentina sounds pretty cool, they like classic type Communalists or more akin to the Nanosocialists?

Ever thought of doing maps for the space objects btw?

Thank you so much!

They are Democratic Confederalists, with enfasis in the confederal part. Bookchin envisioned municipal confederations of cities and organizations; here is mostly like that with trade unions, muncipalities, tribes and other organizations achieving self-administration, but the provinces and the federal state have much more power than in Bookchin's more utopian, even city-state like vision. Given the corruption issues in Argentina, I think such a vision wouldn't work that well, even if I assume a better developed future Argentina. However some Communalist and Federal ideas will remain in Pachamama Awakens' Argentina, for example cooperative economics, greater autonomy to the provinces and moving the capital from Buenos Aires...

Nanosocialists are now called Biosocialist in PA's canon, and instead of being led by AIs, their ideology is much more about common ownership of genetic and natural resources, and the use of biotechnology to build a classeless economy. No eugenics or excessive human genemodding in Tawantinsuyu, but it has happened in other biosocialist states. I changed it because I wanted a more Biopunk flavor, and Nanosocialists sounded much like the Infosocialists of Transhuman Space (from which I have, admitedly, taken much inspiration, but I want this to be its own thing).

I did an (incomplete) Mars map a while ago in the main thread. I might do more, but unfortunately space maps are hard to do, and besides Mars and the Moon, much of the action is on Earth's orbit or small outposts in the rest of the Solar System.

I wasn't happy with my last map, so I've decided to start something smaller to get my creative juices back. Do any of y'all know where this is from? Maybe one of these islets is distinctive enough to give it away.

After two days of not touching my current WiP, here's the current state it's in.

I need to find a nicer/gentler way of distinguishing between the nations which are gonna be on here and which won't get their topography, but at least I've managed to complete the coastal outlines and I found a way to show international borders which looks nice.

Nice map, but watch out for artifacting.

With my wip maps, I routinely use jpg, because they *are* wip maps (the smaller file size means I can upload straight to forum, which isn't usually possible with k7c size maps). When developing, I save in a lossless format (either psp's native format or png). You're not the first to note the jpg issue, and I guarantee you won't be the last. You may have noticed that all the maps I post in the main maps thread are in lossless png or gif format.

Religion-themed WIP: yellows, reds, oranges and pinks are Buddhist states, blues nordic paganism, green native American religions. That colorful outline in western Europe indicates a Celtic *EU

Partially inspired by Munro's lovely map above, and partly by my current deep dive into Indian culture and philosophy. Something something global Hinduism something something pseudo-Jihadist Huns something something dam the Iron Gates something something Germanic Romania.

I'm taking a second shot of doing "expanded Valkyria Chronicles" map and I realized that VC Europa is very fractal and I can't draw shorelines like that without tracing.

I mean, it's really contrasting.

What I'm trying to say is, I need a help.
