ok. 2 silly maps by me.
first one is result of my very long Crusader Kings game. I played as - almost doomed - orthodox Nubia kingdom. It should have a culture of its own, but was arabic by culture in this game. However, one of my rulers took a turkish wife from the steppes (after having killed the first one, actually). She gave birth to a turkish child, who I made ruler. It was a mistake, as the offspring of the first son - notabene polish - turned out to be magnificent (while he himself wasn't). So my dynasty turned turkish, which can be seen in this map. It shows the cultural changes that took place until I conquered entire world.
red = turkish.
the other changes when in comparison to the original cultures was
- polish, which gained some provinces in Slovakia, Lithuania and Prussia, but lost some in the west
- german, which gained some in the east and south
- persian, which gained some in Armenia, while losing most to turkish
- greek, which gained some in Balkans
etc
Also, most of the world turned orthodox due to my rule (and Sweden's, which turned orthodox before my conquest due to frequent marriages with my court). Judaism is extinct. Islam is almost extinct, and catholicism is steadily losing ground.
the third map is just a map of the number of neighbours of european countries. Some countries have double numbers. The first one means minimal number (without the mini-countries like Andorra, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, San Marino, Vatican and Monaco, and countries of disputed souvereignity - Kosovo exactly), the second means maximum number. The colours represent the numbers. The hotter colour, the more neighbours. While adding colours, I used the minimal number when it comes to countries bordering mini-states, while the bigger number when it comes to states bordering Kosovo.
Sea borders were not included.
