NES World/Regional Maps III

[Azale]

Harry Turtledove althistory, 1970 A.D. Made it a few months ago.

Wouldn't reccomend it for an NES, but it was fun to make

 

[Silver Steak]

Holy... Russia is mother...... HUGE!

EDIT: If that is what it is...

 

[Azale]

It's actually the Greater German Reich

 

[carmen510]

Then how come Germany didn't take over France, or indeed, Europe?

 

[Azale]

France and Britain were aryan enough and are basically under Fascist puppet governments. Notice the thinned lines.

Russia and the Middle East were unpure, and they....cleansed...a good number of slavs, jews, and arabs. Persians and Indians were considered Aryan enough.

And people thought my althist map was unbalanced

 

[jeps]

EDIT: oops. mine enemies. did the US fall by 1970? and shouldnt Croatia rule over serbia (it mentions that since the croats were allied to the germans their favorite sport was hunting serbs, and they ruled over them)

for anyone doing a BNA map, Disunited States of America could be interesting (not the timeline or anything just the nations themselves. and the premise, of having the articles of confederation but never anything more.)

 

[Azale]

@j eps, I'm going by the map provided on Wikipedia. I made a few changes since the date is 1970 before WW3. Latin America is basically under an American sphere of influence.

If this was set when the book began, it would be TOTALLY skewed even worse than it is now

 

[jeps]

oh, completely. at that point it is Germany. German allies. German vassals. Japan. Italy. random neutral nations.

 

[carmen510]

If I started an NES based on this map, how long would it take for someone to claim the Greater German Reich and Japan?

 

[Azale]

Not as fast as it would take Symphony to get to it

 

[Shadowbound]

I'd call Nationalist Spain, or another minor fascist nation, just to be original.

If you did run an NES based on this, I'd have multiple players for the superpowers, to simulate how internal power struggles would often be more of a threat to Germany than the United States.

 

[Azale]

You would need seperate leaders to represent the Fascist Party, Fuhrer, Wermacht, and the SS in the Greater German Reich.

 

[jeps]

and the British Union of Fascists, and things like that.

 

[Shadowbound]

Not exactly. Minor nations, like Britain, would be played by 1 player. The reason I suggested multiple players is because a single faction within a nation like Germany or Japan could wield more power than that of many nations.

As for the map itself, the United States and the Japanese Empire are too similar in color. It's hard to tell where one starts and the other ends.

 

[Azale]

The japanese empire is dark green and light green...USA is light blue....you should be able to differentiate

Harry Turtledove and everything associated with him bites, and I would have no hand in any of it, regardless of the date or countries present.

Japan itself is easy to tell apart, but the Japanese Empire is green-blue, while the United States is blue-green. It'd be easier if they were mostly land borders, but the independent islands are hard to compare.

I see it as the summer movie of the althistory genre

Green blue? Japan proper is green and the Co-Prosperity Sphere is light green. America is light blue.

Only two islands on the east part of the map is American, the two above Fiji. On the west side its all American.
