NES World/Regional Maps Requests Thread

Canary was Spanish and Azores Portuguese by 1500 yup

Nice catch, this any better? See new map above.

Still too far north. For that matter, Lisbon is too far south, too.

Still too far north? I tried to match it up against my Times Atlas of World History map. Maybe it is just too big. Anyway, I will take another stab at it and repost. Thanks. Do you see anything that I can improve in Europe?

EDIT: I did find this interesting link: http://www.public.asu.edu/~mesmith9/azimpst.html

 

[North King]

Europe looks pretty good.

I'm looking for a modern map with cities. I know this exists

But I'm looking for something that doesnt have 100s of 1 pixal islands and is easier to update.

 

[Silver Steak]

Why don't you make it yourself? Currently working on a map myself, so I'm not available.

 

[carmen510]

I'm working on a map too. 666th post in this thread.
or 667th.

 

[Symphony D.]

It's already been made, but still requires finesse on small islands. If that's still too much, use the "standard." If that's not good enough, then yeah, you pretty much gotta make your own.

Can someone find or make me a map of China in 400 BC? Doesn't need to be a NES map--if you find a good one online, I can use that instead.

Maybe this will help.

The Warring States Period (Traditional Chinese: 戰國時代, Simplified Chinese: 战国时代; pinyin: Zhànguó Shídài) covers the period from sometime in the 5th century BC to the unification of China by the Qin Dynasty in 221 BC. It is nominally considered to be the second part of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, following the Spring and Autumn Period, although the Zhou dynasty itself ended in 256 BC, 35 years earlier than the end of the Warring States period. Like the Spring and Autumn Period, the king of Zhou acted merely as a figurehead. The name Warring States Period was derived from the Record of the Warring States compiled in early Han Dynasty. The date for the beginning of the Warring States Period is somewhat in dispute. While it is frequently cited as 475 BC (following the Spring and Autumn Period), 403 BC - the date of the tripartition of the Jin (state) - is also sometimes considered as the beginning of the period.

I saw that. But all the maps of the warring states period I can find seem to be of the end of the period, not the beginning.

 

[Birdjaguar]

Thats why I bolded the text part that said that at the beginning it was just three states carved out of Zhou. Somebody here could probably point you in the right direction.

Can someone help me with a world map in my NES?

 

[North King]

What kind of world map? Earth? And what on it? If you just want it blank, that's too easy. If you want borders, then it might take slightly longer.

I'm thinking of an Idea for a NES, once I start Modding (not yet, need more experience, but I want to establish the breakoff point soon.)

For this NES, I would like a map of Mainland North America down to Mexico (No Carribean, Central America), with the provinces and state borders with capitals, and if possible the provinces of Mexico.

 

[jeps]

I have determined a rough idea of the nations. Breakoff: Bloq Quebecois start EVERYTHING.

They succeed in a referendum.

Western Block then acts up more and more playing on oil, etc.

They secede. Texas sees what Alberta got, and secedes. US breaks up after that.

---

Quebec annexes Labrador.

War is on the horizon.

 

[North King]

A bit unlikely, but oh well, might still be fun.

Doesn't makes sense at all, but whatever. Could be fun.

 

[jeps]

I have other non-posted things. I skipped a LOT there. Also, it makes more sense if you know how Quebec is extorting money to stay Canadian.

Oil sands and other things makes Alberta rich enough to go on their own. However, they take BC, Sask, and Montana with them.

Texas is the only state with the right to secede. The democrats win an election by a lot, and start making reforms in Texas. They don't like them, and secede and try to emulate Alberta.

Lots of other things that I'm saving for if this happens.

Virginia joins with West Virginia, but they don't leave. They stay as one of the few states left.

Minnesota has a falling out with Wisconsin, and they join what is left of Canada.

BC has money from the 2010 olympics, combined with alberta making a very rich but militaristically weak nation.

Maine does not join New England, and because of that they are stuck between weak and temporary independance, joining Quebec, or joining Maritime Union. They choose the 3rd option.

Lots of Midwest/South states secede after Texas. They are all independant, but the strongest of the states conquers others. That is why state borders WILL change slightly, though I'd like the originals as a base.

Michigan gains wealth after finally getting the American Car business booming again. Ontario also benefits from this (Oakville, Camebridge major American Car manufacturers)

EVENTS AT START OF NES:

Rebellion in Pennsylvania - New York became capital of New England, and made legislation for NY against Philadelphia. Steel is going down (bad for Hamilton and Pittsburgh). Bad economic conditions make them want to leave.

Annexation of Labrador - high chance of war between Quebec and Maritimes.

Texas invasion of Oklahoma.

Nevada considering joining California

Spanish culture takes over Florida.

NOTE: Still working on it, suggestions appreciated. Americans know America better than me, and older NESers know NESing better than me. I don't plan on running this for a while, but it would be nice to have a map and background ready soon. Stats can wait.

Culture has a big influence in this NES idea. Lousiana will get along better with Quebec than Florida. Florida, NY, California, Ontario all get along because of large jewish populations.

 

[Symphony D.]

Even if they have the right, it would take... well, let me just say it'd probably happen on Doomsday, and leave it at that. It'd be an essentially suicidal move. Also didn't help them any in the Civil War, so it probably wouldn't be honored to begin with. Generally just never going to happen. But again, whatever.
