====== Countries of an Alternate World ======

A map game started by [[offtopic:theReturner]]. Its thread can be found [[http://www.alternatehistory.com/discussion/showthread.php?t=142174|here]].

It is the first in the //**Countries of an Alternate World**// series of map games. It is notable for starting as a simple game of posts about alternate countries, but slowly evolving into a more complex work which also incorporated maps of the globe showing the exact location of said countries.

==== Rules ====

  * 1. All Countries must make up ONE, PRESENT DAY WORLD.
  * 2. Smaller the better. Make big empires if you must, but put them in terrible locations i.e. Siberia. I want the world to finish in enough time to let history unfold, but slow enough for everyone to participate that wishes to. I hope you understand what I mean.
  * 3. You may only post one nation every post
  * 4. Do not wank your nation to ASB levels.
  * 5. Flags are fine, but not required.
  * 6. Please post a map, but it's not required. If you don't post a map, then describe your countries location well enough for us to interpret where it is.
  * 7. The POD is 1 A.D. though you can make it a bit later if you want.
  * 8. No Draka, Peshawar Lancers, or any other AH literary bull-crap. Be creative. Also no things from OTL which are much later than the POD, such as a Third Reich or Soviet Union or USA. This is also no ISOT map game.
  * 9. The year that this map is in is 2011 A.D.
  * 10. You have to claim before you post, and when you have claimed you have 4 hours time to post your nation.
  * 11. Delete the rivers when you have posted your country.
