Alternate History (Map) Thread

This one is about a world with no Americas.

Axis victory where the Soviet Union isn't completely devastated.

1984-styled map

Contributing, I've always really liked this one.

Nice, I don't think I have this one yet.

Alright, this one is a true clusterfuck. It's something done on the Alternate History Forums as one of the experiments in making maps with as much going on as possible. It even has Moon and Mars inserts.

...

...

...

...

Another non-historical map.

...

Here's the last one before I have to leave.

Okay no, this is the last one. Someone keep the thread alive.

I can see a created map like any of these being the basis for a sweet novel, if it focused on the affairs of a local group.

Philippines is almost always fucked hard in these maps.

>the good guys
>america

>2nd Brazilian republic
>Right now Brazil is on their third republic
I love to see these maps because of how hilariously they fuck up everything that isn't Europe or the US.

Everything that wasn't a global power at some point with pop history for people to read about gets fucked hard in these.

>Rad Zones

explain india then

What do you mean? In half of those India is just our India with no changes.
On the other half they split it in half because why not?

Make Zion Great Again!

I've also seen some where India becomes an expansionist empire for no reason.

Here's a twist on WW2 where the expansionist Allies start the war against Strasserist Mitteleuropa and its buddies.

See the filename.

And yes, I'm back. Here's a cold war between the fascists and the monarchists.

...

Another German domination, this time in imperial form.

>able to play off "neutral" because nobody gives a damn
>Literally just Paraguay
Man, para a gay just can't catch a fucking break.

Another nazi wank. There will be more, of course.

Being irrelevant is definitely preferable to being a target.

Here's a map of a world where humanity doesn't only get fucked over by a polar shift but also non-humans.

...

Here's another weird Cold War.

Starring the regional powers of the Oslo Union, Russia, France, Western and Eastern Roman Empire

>technate

Yet another Axis victory.

These are always painful to look at.

>country literally called Kingdom of God
>the biggest issue to him are technates

Didn't notice that but an union made out of the western Mediterranean countries would be chill as fuck.

If it wasn't for the mountain jews and if Greece was added, you'd have the Lazy Catholic Republics of Bankruptia.

>Greeks are Catholic

This one was predicted by mathematical model.

Okay, I should've left the Catholic out. Everything else is fine, though.

(w)ew

>Nice map

I'm going through my folder so there will be generic ones among them but there are definitely some very nice maps in there.

>nice map
Map painting autism belongs to Swedish DLC simulators.

please r8

All these differences and Northern Ireland still isn't free

kys

That's clearly a modern point of divergence.

May be a bit memey, but still pretty cool.

Nice trips. This one is already in my folder.

>Being irrelevant is definitely preferable to being a target
not in terms of economy, i kid you not

ps: the fuck is up with all these kids adding us to Bolivia

>South American Union
holy shit, neat.

I have absolutely no idea if this would work, but it just looks so satisfying

South America is the one place where imagination completely goes away with most of these maps.
>pic related

what you can do if you're an alt-mapper is go full 1600 AD like this guy that's effort i can appreaciate
otherwise just follow the rivers' shapes and copy climate regions, like Victoria/HoI maps do

Some go even further back but then it's pretty alien. And then some go all out.

>every axis victory has the integralists in power in Brazil
>They disregard Brazil had a fascist dictator in Vargas that was really close to Germany up until the final years of the war when the US started to have a bigger influence in South America
In an Axis victory Vargas would just steer his foreign policy back to being Germany centered.

I suppose it's the first thing people think of when filling in South America in a Axis victory map.

Not everyone

>Split Brazil into the states
>For no reason at all split Parana and Santa Catarina in half and stick the halves together to make another state
>Don't do anything else to the other borders
Why? It is just pointless.

...

Brazil isn't split into its states, its just showing its internal divisions the same way it's doing for America, Germany, India, etc. Panama is still together, the canal was just destroyed by nuclear bombardment.

...

I see. I tought that was possible, but disconsidered seeing as he didn't do it for Argentina nor Bolivia right next to Brazil.
Also, still doesn't explain why the fuck do this to two already small states.

>ut disconsidered seeing as he didn't do it for Argentina nor Bolivia right next to Brazil.
Argentina and Bolivia aren't major powers, Brazil is

> still doesn't explain why the fuck do this to two already small states.
???

>Argentina and Bolivia aren't major powers, Brazil is
Is it?
Ok.

>???
I was talking about two Brazilian states have been cut in half to make another state, but I was being dumb, the map shows the territory of "Terra do Iguaçu" as not being a part of both Paraná and Santa Catarina, but I forgot it wasn't incorporated until well after WW2.
It is actually a well researched map regarding South America, that is rare to see.

>It is actually a well researched map regarding South America, that is rare to see.
I tried to put a lot of research into it, there's also a couple arbitrary changes and divisions elsewhere since it's been 50 years since the POD and I figured things would continue to change.

Some territories were divided and incorporated into states since '45, but internal borders didn't change that much after that.

Still, South America in the map you posted is exactly the same as today save for the Guyanas.

This was meant as a reply to , of course.

Another naziwank here, btw.

>all those Atlantropas and flooded kongo basins

Why has never anyone attempted to dam and partially drain the baltic sea?
You would end up with a bit more Land and a huge freshwater lake.

Atlantropa would give humanity a bunch of salinated land and increase desertification in the Mediterranean and I feel like draining the Baltic sea would probably lead to much colder climate in the Baltic region. Still, it would be an interesting scenario to explore. Also, I remember a few scenarios that had megaprojects like draining the Great Lakes, enlarging the Aral and Caspian sea and one where lakes were created in Alaska.

Trust me, Let them apart

What the fuck?

I'll dump a few a bit more fantasy ones now.

2bh I warned you. You should also check .

Bear with me Veeky Forums

How realistic would a USA-style supernation be, in Africa instead of North America? Large nation with similar story up to its' foundation?

Was thinking of an Africa divided into Carthage, Muslim Egypt, Ethiopia, Royalist West Africa, and independent south africa

So, you mean a colony that declares independence from its owner? I don't know, I guess something like, but probably on a smaller scale, would be possible in South Africa if the arrival of the Africans from the north was stopped soon enough. Anywhere else, the tribals, the environment and the diseases would make it impossible for such a country to exist, methinks.

You can also know whether a map was made by an european or an american by looking at the spanish and US mid western regional borders.

Okay, that wasn't a fantasy map.

> this will never happen

Well, even if it isnt drained but just dammed..
The baltic sea has the lowest saltiness of a sea in the world, to the point that it is even barely drinkable due to all the streams of freshwater leading to it.
Damming it may slowly reconstruct a smaller version of the ancylus lake.
Fuck the seafauna tho, freshwater for humans would be the priority here.

Literally impossible.
Every African country's main problem is the huge number of ethnicities in it. They all hate eachother.
