Can I request something? I'd like if someone could create an editable electoral map for the 70 states featured in the Union of American Socialist Republics. Kudos  i.imgur.com/jEW1zyv.pngHow big do you want it? Like would the average basemap be fine or do you want something bigger? |

A little WIP. Let's see if it isn't too easy to tell what's going on.  |

Looking great so far, Nanwe! Considering the "Republicca Cisalpina" label, I'm guessing something to do with Napoleon too.  |

 The Commonwealth of Australia & Oceania is an earth orientated nation with only one state being off-world on its moon lunar. The country itself is relatively wealthy with a standard of living high compared to the rest of its region which had suffered badly during Great Red War only now recovering and beginning to flourish once more. Though it is economically sound it is very un-influential in global and galactic affairs outside of The Mutual-Defence & Security Pact and its neighbouring region. The country has access to the Naru space elevator allowing its economy to stay afloat. Australia’s natural resources which was a backbone for past economic development of Australia in the modern century has been rendered all but useless forcing the country to find new avenues to further develop the economy. The country’s modern economy is based upon scientific and military research being a testing ground for new technologies and weaponry that is known the galaxy over as the highest and best quality anywhere around. The country also is always creating and being commissioned to create new designs for more efficient galactic spaceships for commercial and military use across the galaxy along with constructing galactic spaceships with in the space allocated to them above the space elevator. Australia also conducts in military conflicts across the world and galaxy with government owned security companies being commissioned by other nations and private corporations to protect and serve. Information on map In the 2090's New Zealand was annexed into Commonwealth after a slow transitional period of semi-autonomy which had begun in the 2 decades prior with the last Prime Minister of New Zealand ending their term and handing over power to a temporary Parliamentary Council overseen by the United Nations who would govern the country during the transition into Australian statehood status. Reasons for New Zealand’s interest in becoming an Australian state can be narrowed down to two major points the first that in a world of cosmic colonial powers, small nations like New Zealand can simply not compete with their much larger counterparts and the second that at the time New Zealand was suffering from a hefty recession in response to the climate crisis which was only starting to clear up. When the Pacific theatre of the Great Red War on Earth came to a close and the European theatre only three months away from victory the New Alliance in the form of The Japan-Korea Rep., India, Democratic China and Australia were in the process of dividing up the liberated and conquered territory amongst themselves with all nations having a different goal in mind. The Japan-Korea Rep. received Manchuria, Mongolia (inner Mongolia being incorporated), Vietnam and several Pacific islands into their spear of influence with Sakhalin Island later being directly annexed. India had become a major regional power and received Indonesia, Malaysia and Laos into the spear of influence helping the countries redevelop their shattered nations into functional modern states being a major contributor to the formation of the Central Indo-Pacific Republic. Australia was the only nation to directly annex territory from the aftermath of the Pacific theatre integrating Papua New Guinea into the Commonwealth as well as Nauru for access to the space elevator there. Australia funded the rebuilding of Papua New Guinea which would likely not of occurred if not directly annexed into the Commonwealth. Australia also received many Pacific islands. For a brief period encompassing only 3 decades the (2130’s-2150's) Australia had a small but influential number of colonies in the inner and outer realms of human space giving Australia the status of a colonial power. This decade was a time of new found prosperity and influence on galactic affairs which Australia had never seen before and never will again. During this time Australia had heavily militarised in an effort to maintain control in the colonies. in the 3 decade due to economic decline and a brief unsuccessful war against Mexico in the form of a proxy war, the outer colonies felt unprotected and vulnerable to both economic and political degradation or collapse from outside forces or even their own colonial government. There was much resentment against the government in the outer colonies due to the hefty toll that the proxy war had inflicted on them and lack of power in the parliament making it virtually impossible to have a major influence on governmental policies. This sentiment eventually lead to a revolution in these colonies which could escalate further into a full on civil war spilling over into other colonies controlled by different governments contributing to what became known as the First Colonial Civil-War or Revolution. Australia being heavily militarised put up a good fight against the rebels but eventually lost out not having enough willpower or manpower to maintain control within the colonies unlike the other much larger colonial powers of the time. The Golden Coast was the only colony to remain loyal to the Commonwealth but had a rebellion later on in the Second Colonial Civil-War or Revolution which the Commonwealth managed to extinguish in exchange for giving more autonomy to the lunar state. The MDSP is the spiritual successor to the Commonwealth of Nations including mainly off-world British colonies, several former colonies on earth and a few new nations who have joined this mutually beneficial protection pact. The idea for this pact came about with the goal of preventing another galactic wide war from catching nations off-guard inflicting major casualties with other nations coming to the aid of threatened nations quickly to deflate any attempts of attack or invasion. The pact was signed in Singapore who had been (and still is) overseen by a joint British-Australian military force since the end of the Great Red War. Singapore enjoys status as a semi-autonomous entity being able to elect their representatives to govern the country under the guidelines of the military force. 1.This inland state is the location of a major testing of the domed cities initiative aimed at creating self-sustainable cities for hostile planets now with testing long over and the initiative being successful the many cities that are left are thriving with an economy based on scientific and military research. 2. Another inland state was created as the region was quickly expanding due to many new terraforming techniques being developed for use on other planets. These technologies allowed for almost inhospitable regions of Earth to become self-sustaining and viable with less effort than ever thought possible before. 3.During that Pacific theatre of the Great Red War the region of North Queensland became a major military hub eventually being the staging platform for the invasion of Papua New Guinea and Indonesia. it gained status as a state of Australian halfway through war its economy being based on the military when the war ended the northern state ran into economic trouble one which it is still recovering from today. |

Well I initially thought independent Venice, until I say Milan. And that's an Illyria in the Balkans. Napoleonic wank? Not quite. More like French Revolutionary Wars wank. It's a map called "Le repubbliche dell'Italia settentrionale" including 'R. Cisapina', 'R. Subalpina', 'Rezia', 'Toscana' and San Marino. A little WIP. Let's see if it isn't too easy to tell what's going on. Well I initially thought independent Venice, until I say Milan. And that's an Illyria in the Balkans. Napoleonic wank? Looking great so far, Nanwe! Considering the "Republicca Cisalpina" label, I'm guessing something to do with Napoleon too. Yeah, but it's also me reading into their constitutions and deciding I wanted to try and make a map of the Italian department system from the time, comnbined with some stylistic ideas I've seen in other maps I wantes to try, like from Blomma's latest map (font, 50s look I hope I'll achieve) or the shape of the big cities (Milan, Turin, Genoa in this map) in the map indicated by their actual size and not just another circle. Holy hell nanwe, amazing as always! A true inspiration to us all Cheers, but I was mostly trying to toe Blomma's style Can't take much merit in this. Although it's also for me to work on ideas for a little project I talked with Krall a while back, about making a NS region from amongst our AH mapmakers, as well as other 'realistic creative' people, like (ideally) conlangers or people who know of topography (well, someone who knows about that is my hero, no matter what) to make an interesting, visually appealing but realistic region and such. Although I think I never told Krall so much  |

The browser-based country roleplaying thing? |

Yeah. But mostly because the roleplaying community is very much beyond the game mechanics itself, with forums, maps and a top-notch wiki |

 Out of the Ashes a New Star Rises! On the eve of December 2 the war that was so far confined to Europe with mighty clashes between NATO and the new Russian block known as the Eurasian Union the likes of which the world had feared during the first Cold War now entered its third year of engagement reeking chaos throughout Eastern Europe with fears of a nuclear end to this conflict growing every day. December 2 marks the beginning of when this war in Europe turned into a worldwide conflict that would shape the political landscape for years and even decades to come. Tensions between China and other South-east Asian nations had been increasing for years mainly due to a conflict about ownership of a group of islands in the South China Sea and increased militarization of the Chinese government. A harsh and brutal crackdown was put in place in Hong Kong, Shanghai and other regions in China as there was an increasing demand among citizens to establish a more democratic government in China. China had supported a coup in Myanmar to overthrow the current dictatorship only to establish another, thereby only worsening the already rocky relationship between them and other South-east Asian nations. The military lead coup eventually led to the boycott of the new Myanmar government with heavy sanctions put in place against the nation and its withdrawal from the increasingly influential ASEAN. On December 2 a small Chinese battleship fleet opened fire against a joint US-ASEAN battleship fleet believing that they had entered Chinese territorial waters (which was later found out to not be the case) the battle between the two lasted for a grueling hour and a half eventually ending in the sinking of several of the joint fleet ships and two Chinese battleships. After hearing this tragic news, the US and other nations who had not already entered the war against Russia now feel felt directly threatened by these new world powers though the US was at the stage when it was likely to join the fight anyway in the coming months. China and the Russian led EAU had formed an alliance several years earlier. When the US declared war on China along with their allies in the region, the ASEAN also declared war on EAU. The event that occurred on December 2 is seen by the populace as the beginning of the end leading to the third world war though most historians agree the event on its own would of likely not cause the outbreak of the third world war it was simply the last nail in the coffin in an already quickly deteriorating relation between two opposing powers. The ASEAN mainly fought against the allies of the Chinese in the Indonesian Civil War which had been raging for two years prior due to their close proximity and lack of political will to directly go up against the Chinese. The Indonesian Civil War was a major part of the South-east Asian theater of the third world war with two main opposing side in this war the Islamic Nationalist Confederation and the Democratic People’s Front along with the government that was already in power which many people disliked because of large-scale corruption with in all its ranks. ASEAN at the end of the war was mainly free to do what they like in how they would like to divide up the former Indonesian nation. They granted Papa New Guinea the western half of the island that had once belonged to the Indonesians as well as several islands eventually leading to the formation of the New Guinea Union. East Timor remained free though was under heavy surveillance by the newly formed Australian Republic. Borneo became its own independent nation with full membership in to the ASEAN being granted. The rest of Indonesia formed the Republic of Sunda and remained under Military Administration. ASEAN gained territory from the former People’s Republic of China such as Hong Kong. |

 A small alternate history scenario where World War One begins to turn in favour of the germans when it acquires new puppet states in the east. The flood of manpower and resources begins to pour into germany aiding the war in the west. Originally created for the Map of the Fortnight Contest. |

Do you have a deviantart or imgur link to the maps in full size? These are great but it's hard to read on the site. ^^; |

Free to a good home...I don't have mapmaker software but I had an idea that I think would be cool so anyone that wants to do this one, go for it.
Its the setting of Stephen King's The Stand + 100 years. Randall Flagg's colonies in LA and Oregon and SF have grown into feuding dictatorships. The Free Zone colonies on the east coast under various branches of the Redman-Goldsmith Dynasty are more benevolent but still feuding. Both are starting to meet again after sending expeditions into the depopulated Midwest. Meanwhile...black armored ships arrive on North American shores from Russia, China and Iran, where Flagg said there were other supernatural warlords like him arising in his time...

It looks like your map of southeast Asia has been squashed by DA - try editing it and see if you can get it to display at its full, original size. It looks a lot better that way! |
