I agree its not right. I'm still trying to make something that looks a lot better there and a few other places....Namely the Chinese-Timurid border, since its nearly random.
If anyone knows what a logical border for that would be please tell me.

In Alaska, the OTL border really works fine. With regards to the Timurids and China, giving the full Sinkiang to the Chinese seems like the best choice; the Timurids have way too much to hold on to as it is.
The Caliphate border in Anatolia is also... suspicious, especially if the Byzantines are strong enough to conquer Egypt. I suggest that they should get thrown out of that central bulge.
Oh, and last but not least, Siberia. It rather strains my suspension of disbelief to see Novgorod extend this far east without controlling the key routes and cities in southern Siberia. The lands east of Yenisei should probably be Timurid. Incidentally, I hope you do realise that in this map Novgorod is going to be very weak and vulnerable, seeing as it is economically dependent on Sweden. Are you sure it should've lost Ingria?

Well Novogord isn't exactly meant to be a world-class power. A moderate one at best, with the Timurids filling more of Russia's role in this timeline. I could see the parts of Siberia they control being Timurid, but for some reason it just seemed odd having them extend to the artic ocean. (Not a good reason I know, and I might change it to what you said). As for Ingria, I made it Swedish, because as far as I know it was at the jumping off point for this timeline in the 1000s. (though I couldnt find a good map of the area from then)
As for the Timurid-China border, I think I'll do that, and as for the Caliphate's chunk in Anatolia, I actually already took that out of my most recent map. Its a remnant from when that nation was still somewhat Turkish in my timeline.

That Alaskan border would be a really weird curve if the map were projected onto Mercator. If it's meant to follow a longitude it should actually follow the gridlines on the map in terms of bending, otherwise it's like the most artificial border in history.

Not any more odd than Novgorod extending to the Lena.
But as a matter of fact it wasn't (not properly anyway; parts of it were indeed contested by Swedish feudals every now and then, but that isn't the same as control). It only really became Swedish in the 16th century, and only after Novgorod was already taken over by Muscovy, with all the differences in policy and priorities that implied. Mind you, the Swedes may very well have conquered it later if they're so imperial right now, but this is going to cripple Novgorod at least as bad as the loss of Alsace-Lorraine crippled France. Though looking at it from that perspective, that's probably a good thing as it adds one more diplomatic issue to fight over.
Incidentally, how are the Timurids holding on to their European possessions? I'd imagine it to be difficult, though probably doable, and, at least in Rus, rather similar to OTL Ottoman Balkans.

France is mine, unless Great Britain remains open by update, then I will shift there since I know more about them than other nations. And besides it would be tough to play France in two different, but similar NESes. 
EDITED: Oops, it appears France is already claimed (did not see the 3rd page). Well I await the British question before I make a different choice.

The late Ottoman Balkan situation is exactly what I had planned for Timurid controlled Russia. Also, since its Orthodox, the Byzantines have had a somewhat irredentist policy here aswell.
You never said I had to send orders. You want me to PM you them or post them here?
Oh, I am sorry, didn't see that post. Ok, I will send them.

What timeline is this, sorry if this was posted but I cant seem to find it. Or I just cant see it. 
Also, does the Byzantine/Ottoman Empire control the other half of Australia?
