To Do List

- Latin America and the Caribbean

- Maybe internal divisions in the US
- Maybe internal divisions in China
 
Interesting. What is each state supposed to be?
People's Republic of America=China
United States Government in Exile (currently in Liberia)= Taiwan Republic of China
Alyeskan SSR= Soviet Union
Canadian People's Republic =Mongolia
Great Britain (Newfoundland and Labrador)= Japan
Southron Democratic Republic= Vietnam
Southron Occupied Appalachia= Laos
The Confederate State (Florida) = Thailand
Democratic Louisiana = Cambodia
The Socialist Union of Sequoyah (Oklahoma) = Burma

Kennedys as Kims is truly something innovative.
 
You've seen Southern Victories.
You've seen Nazi Victories.
You've seen CP Victories.

Now get ready for something you've probably never seen before: Carthage Victorious.

My goal with this work will be to explore how a surviving Carthaginian Empire would look, without wanking, or making it obvious that Carthage is a protagonist in this alternate history. The map's year will be 1650 AD. The models I will use for Carthage and its historical trajectories are OTL Chinese Dynasties and the Mughal Empire.

POD is in the 200s BC (BC in our time, Jesus as we know him doesn't exist in ATL), Carthage wins a glorious victory in the First Punic War, and while it cannot exert control over Rome, it remains a dominant West-Mediterranean power. Expansion continues apace into Spain, southern France, and Egypt (the populous crown jewel). And afterwards...it does quite well! Carthage survives wars and interregnums, and due to its placement and smaller size (compared to Rome), dodges the worst of the Migration Period.

Carthage waxes and wanes, undergoing cycles of expansion and contraction, centralization and zamindarization (referring to power reverting to landed nobles, which facilitated the collapse of the Mughal Empire), but the core of it always stays intact. The map will take place after the Americas were discovered (by ATL's England Analogue), and settlement is going on in full swing.

However, Carthage assesses the worth of the New World primarily in slaves and cropland. And it is much more conservative in pursuing wars of conquest, because so much of its energies are tied up in handling internal affairs. As a result, the settlement of the New World is much slower, and there will be surviving, technologically uplifted American societies.

And another map I've been working on...I've been trying to create a Cyberpunk world for the modern time. I had a lot of failed attempts (at least I would consider them unappealing and "failed,") but I think I've got something going now. You have an America that is on the surface quite wealthy and a decent place to be if you're professional-class or better, but ruined by corporate domination, political decentralization, and ethnic uprisings. The rising powers are an Egypt-led Islamist bloc and a China-led "Community of Common Destiny."

Latest entry in my more-monarchical Europe TL that Moselrhein and the Swiss Kingdom came from: the Kingdom of Czechogalicia (formally the Kingdom of Bohemia, Moravia, Silesia, Nitra, and Galicia--essentially the parts of Cisleithania north and west of Austria, with a capital at Prague). Base map traced, with permission, from part of a central powers map by @Yanranay and the coat of arms was a request fulfilled by @Karolus Rex last week. I feel like it needs more information on it, somehow, even if it means making the overall size of the image larger; should I do the little mans to show provincial/regional party strength? Is there another way of doing that which would be less cluttered for a 500-seat parliament? Feedback more than welcome, especially as this is just a WIP/first attempt!

That is a truly frightening China
North, central, and south China, as well as East Tibet and East Turkestan, are the result of a Russian intervention. ITTL communism was nipped in the Russian Civil War, but still found a way into China. However, this China followed a strange mix of Apartheid and Communism. Russia intervened, hacked off East Turkestan from the Chinese, and split China along the Yellow and Yangtze Rivers. East Tibet bailed from the collapsing China. A Yunnanese Free State refused to acknowledge the Changsha authorities and broke off themselves.
The red line alone Central China is the demarcation line that North and South China will follow later on.

As to Russia, it overstretched itself and collapsed into another civil war, with a Tsarist restoration in Europe. Central Asian Kazakhstan was given full independence, while European Kazakhstan voted to remain with the restored Tsarist Russia. North Kazakhstan joined Siberia (Russia-Omsk) due to intense Russification. Dalnevostok became independent due to disagreements with the Omsk government. St. Petersburg, Karelia, and Kola are the result of European intervention in the Second Russian Civil War.

And if you noticed, Japan controls a lot of islands along the Korean south shore. ITTL Japanisation was more successful in the islands, and Jeju Korean is now widely considered a language itself. Even after the Japanese Civil War which saw the kingdom retreat to the southwest, those Korean islands remained with Japan. Both Japans are less insular than OTL Japan.
