This is my first real WIP map. I got the template thread out of the 1914 Map. I plan on working on it a lot more. I diverged a bit from the Universal Color scheme as the nations I made are so different, that they'd be semi unrecognizable with OTL. My inspirations is obviously Decades of Darkness, though I only have it for Germany and Russia, while the rest are based on my ideas, which come from a number of influences I can't name right now. Its an ASB map, obviously.
The Hispanic Nations are outlined in purple because they're in a Dominion type situation with Spain. Each are all independent Kingdoms(13, for now, in total) with Trastamaran monarchs, and as such they still hold very close relations with Spain and each other in a type of NATO/EU/Commonwealth thingy. I plan on giving Mexico a purple outline as well. The Philippines, called the Maribelas, or Maribelinas( Still working on name), are also one of these kingdoms, though I have yet to color them in. The Philippines* also has a bit more territory, but I have also yet to color that in. And yes, Brazil, split into two, is a Hispanic nation in this world.
South Africa and Australia/New Zealand(Collectively called New Holland) are independent nations that were Dutch, and later German colonies, though they're still close to Germany, similar to how the Hispanic Nations are close to Spain. New Holland is also green in this universe, so lots of forests of varying types. Much higher population than OTL. They also both have a demographic similar to OTL Peru/Bolivia and Mexico,respectively. So both are mostly Mixed Race, Indigenous, with varying amounts of people pure European ancestry, but not much compared to the US.
Italy never united in this world, and France was defeated for good in the mid to late 19th century, so they wouldn't participate in the Conquest of Africa. Leaving only Spain, Germany, and Britain. I plan on changing the borders(no idea to what though),but the general idea is that Britain only has the North East, minus Egypt and Sudan, while Germany has the West, and sort of has the South through South Africa. Spain has the North West. Although, I am interested in the idea of having various West African States remain independent, similar to Thailand or Iran. Ethiopia won't though.
Honestly, I was going through several ideas when making this, so it doesn't represent any particular period, yet. But, I am hovering towards setting it before the Anglo-German War(1919-1923), which will make the map, when completed, be a bit more Pink in Asia.
Yeah, the British don't and won't have much fun in this world. They don't even have the largest navy in the world, and the rate the Germans are building, they are on the path to quickly becoming third. And it doesn't help that the current first and third largest navies on the planet are closely allied.
