Altered Maps V: The Molotov-Threadentropp Pact

[say1988]

About the American settlers, I was referring to the Mexican/Napoleonic Louisiana

Looks like Mexican Louisiana is a replacement for Texas and California in your time line.

I don't know what you're talking about.

To what nation do you refer to?

I can answer that :the one which routinely steals games? The one whose players seem to confuse football with handball?

The damn french!

New thread already? Wow, that was fast.

Greater Somalia:

I was just looking at that the other week when wondering how did Somalia get into this mess. Seems they picked a fight with the wrong nation back in the 70s, followed by Ethiopia's proxy wars in the 80s and things went south from there.

The Confederate States of America. In 1814 the northern states seceeded from the union, being fed up with the oppressive southerners and their failed war against Britain. See first installment.

Call it New England or something. I live in the CSA according to your map and that's horrible.

Fairly random country merges, with capitals

What's the capital of the iberian union? Tarragona? Amposta? Tortosa?

Some of you may remenber this map I made for the Altered Maps III.




So I decided to make one for Asia too.

You forgot the Republic of China, Somaliland, Northern Cyprus, Abkhazia and South Ossetia!

I only recognised countries listed by UN...

Huh... I just realised that my Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan are mixed up...

 

[Huayna Capac357]

No they aren't.

Why's Palestine there?

Huh... I just realised that my Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan are mixed up...

They're right.

 

[aronnax]

No they aren't.

Why's Palestine there?

They're right.

Look at the Europe map and then look at the Asia one. I switched them.

Huh... Let me go remove Palestine then...

 

[Tee Kay]

Well the Asia map is the right one.

It baffles me why the countries still using Cyrillic haven't given up already...

aronnax:

Wow, very nice. How did you do it?

Maybe they just like it?

I like Cyrillic as well.

The cost is prohibitive. At the very least they should use both scripts to make themselves more attractive to foreigners.

They do that in Serbia (and are apparently planning a full switch to the Latin one, although I'm sure they've got bigger problems right now ), but I agree, especially when it comes to the Balkan countries, I really don't see what they've got to lose from this. It's amazingly inefficient and doesn't really have any point. No alphabet is superior to another, but it's just pointless to be against such a huge majority if there's nothing to gain from that. Tradition/religion might play a part, although I doubt it.

Wouldn't that also applies to all non-Latin scripts? Why single out Cyrillic?

 

[PiMan]

The change from Cyrillic is simpler than other non-Latin scripts.
