I would recommend you leave Venetia with the Austrians, and I like your take on the Dutch naval jack also.

Just seemed like if you were going to have a balkanized Italian peninsula, an independent Venetia was a must, if you know what I mean.
 
is there any particular reason that the "Süddeutscher Bund" (i'd put it that way) selected black-red-golden? Is it a republic?
And how did Prussia refrain from its claims on sweet, sweet homeland Hohenzollern, in the middle of Württemberg?

Namely because it was what was used during the Revolutions of 1848, which many German people have romanticized. And yes, it is a republic, though in practice more a defensive pact, with a definite *socialist bent.

And how did Prussia refrain from its claims on sweet, sweet homeland Hohenzollern, in the middle of Württemberg?

Mostly due to foreign intervention.

Long Rifle sketches from the French/Brits and Texans. Working on American, Canadian, Australian, and a few others.

Also coming up: pistols and submachine guns.

All the maps seem really, really good!

just out of curiosity, why does Mexico still have the Yucatan? if it lost Texas, and all the Northern States, wouldn't it have lost the peninsula as well? it was effectively independent for a while after all, and the Mayan rebels almost drove out all the whites, which would give a pretty good basis for an independent state.

During this brief time, as in between roughly 1890 to 1910, it fell back under Mexican rule. However, don't count on this being permanent. ;)
 
Okay, looking at the map of Europe, a few comments (besides the generic AWESOME MAP!!!)


There are three "German" (Austria and Luxembourg don't count, as neither of them is likely to try and form Germany) States, and all seem to republics, and both of the ones large enough to be seem to be Federal in nature. This begs the question, if they're both trying to unify Germany...what's the difference? and if you have two states with a similar ideology and both want to join each other, why don't they?

Also, the Bavarian State is the "South German Federation" While the Prussian state contains no such qualifier, wonder what that means.

And is an independent city state with an ideology that would be unfavorably compared to the plague by the rulers of the time, bordering a nationalist Federation that has excellent grounds for including said city-state in its Nation, really going to survive that long?

Moving West, Belgium must be terrified, with Nappy probably strongly considering a partition with the dutch. Or just annexing it, although that would bring an alliance of Austria-Hungary and Brittan and...does the German Federation consider itself a legal successor to Prussia? who rules it anyway?

Moving to Austria, the Flag indicates that there's no Duel Monarchy, which makes sense if France gained the Rhineland by intervening in the 6 weeks war. But then why is it still called Austria-Hungary?


Poland having the borders of the Duchy of Cracov, I somehow see this French being involved in this.
