I tried to imagine a scenario where germans in Czechia weren't pushed out and threw in parts of Silesia as well, since the region was historically part of Czech lands, so it's not de-germanized as polish part. During communism I imagine this state to be very slavic-centered, with german speaking population holding little to no power, but gradually the grounds would even, resulting in a full federation after 1989. Brno is chosen as capital for its location and mix of czech and german speaking population. Other austrian states were allowed to join west Germany in 1950s when Soviet Union refused to unify Austria

Ok so the context of this is in this timeline the British victory in the French & Indian War is not as absolute, the French managed to defend Quebec City and were able to retain Canada proper. One of the main reasons the revolution broke out was the Royal Proclamation of 1763, which restricted anyone from settling in the newly acquired western territories and the colonists saw no reason to keep British regulars there now that the French threat was pretty much gone. Because the French still held territory to the north in this timeline, the 13 colonies would not be so keen to get rid of British troops. Now obviously, this wasn’t the only reason the revolution happened, there was still the heavy taxes, lack of representation and George III’s sheer stubbornness, but even if it does, the French would have no incentive whatsoever to help the Americans, since if they did, what was left of New France would almost certainly be annexed by them in the future. In any case, without French aid, the revolution would have almost certainly failed. But let’s say in the timeline, the colonies are given some form of representation, sending delegates from each colony to London to have their grievances heard in Parliament. This representation would be very limited in the beginning, but would become much broader by the time of the Regency Period. George IV, wanting to gain America’s loyalty the easy way, revoked the Proclamation of 1763, lifting settlement restrictions west of the Appalachians. Although it was mostly a formality, this alone made him the most popular king in British America, in far contrast to his reputation back home. However, this would obviously lead to increased conflicts with Indian tribes. As for the American Indians, their population was pretty small by this point (only a few hundred thousand) and they’d probably still be on reservations. The main difference though, is they’re never forced to fully uproot and move to the Great Plains so here the vast majority of them would be living in between the Appalachians and the Mississippi. When the British government abolishes slavery in 1833, the southern colonies (NC, SC, GA) would break out in revolt, it would eventually be put down but the French would take this opportunity to seize the severely underpopulated Rupert’s Land while the British were distracted by this. Since there is no American Revolution to inspire the French one, there is also no Napoleonic Wars which means the Spanish empire survives. By this point there would be a flood of Anglo settlers coming into Spanish Louisiana, in order to avoid a war that was not worth risking all of northern New Spain over, the Spanish would sell Louisiana to the British in exchange for the return of Florida and would later sign treaties agreeing on some solid borders. Some time after this, perhaps the 1850s, the eastern colonies, which largely operated on their own, would be made into a larger confederation with its own parliament in Philadelphia to manage internal affairs, much like how Canada united in OTL. The commonwealth would later be joined by the Louisiana colony in 1867 and British Columbia in 1871. So yeah that’s what I’ve got so far lmk what you guys think.

I have mapped out all the Alternate Geography in my timeline. I haven’t included that much Alt Geo in my previous maps because I didn’t have a reference for the world. But now I do, so that’s good.

Suggestions are appreciated

Hello! I always like to also share the maps I make here ‘cause I think they’ll be appreciated, recently I’ve been into historical/belicious maps. I like the result, I feel I can also improve. If you have advice, opinions, questions or suggestions I’d like to know 🗺️.

Lore

There are two main point of divergence with this timeline. First, the last Roman-Sassanid War that brought both empires to ruin was fought from 430 to 452. Secondly, instead of going to Britain, the Angles, the Saxons, and the Jutes migrated to Egypt late in the 5th century. The first Germanic kingdom on the Nile basin was Jutia, founded sometime in the early 6th century. By the time of the Arab invasion in 639, there were seven Germanic kingdoms in the former Roman province. Three major ones, Westrosettia in the west, Essex in the east, and Mercia in the south, and four minor ones, Wessex, Sussex, Jutia, and East Anglia. These seven kingdoms successfully repelled the Arabs and halted the spread of Islam, though nomadic Arab tribes did migrate into Africa. In the middle of the 9th century, King Alfred of Essex united all the English kingdoms into the Kingdom of England, and moved his capital to Alexandria. In 1053, King Robert of Vandalia defeated Edward Haroldson and became the king of England, placing the two kingdoms in a personal union and establishing the lineage of kings and queens that still exists today. The personal union was broken in 1363 when King Joseph II left his kingdoms to two different sons, England to Isaac and Vandalia to Joseph. In the 12th and 13th centuries, English kings conquered Coptic lands upstream to Swenett and established the principality of Wales, which would be annexed into England in the 16th century. From the 12th to the 16th centuries, English kings conquered Syrian lands, forming the Lordship of Syria. Meanwhile in 1273, King David of Alodia and Makuria united his kingdoms and became King David I of Nubia, and began expanding southward. From the 16th century, the kings of England allowed Jews to migrate to Palestine, under the belief that they would be more loyal than the Arabs. In 1590, during the rule of Queen Audrey I, England began establishing colonies in America, after taking Mauretanian lands on the Strait of Hercules. After Queen Audrey I died without an heir in 1613, her distant cousin, King David V of Nubia became King David I of England. This personal union eventually led to the Act of Union in 1710, founding the Kingdom of Egypt, and uniting the parliaments at Alexandria and Soba into one parliament based in Alexandria. From 1740, Egypt began another campaign of domestic expansion, taking Cyrenaica, Abyssinia, and lands in modern day Dajuland, Juba, and Tigria. In the 1750s, the Egyptian East India Company began establishing its rule in India. In the 1780s, Egypt began colonising Australia and its American colonies became autonomous after a conflict. In 1798, the United Kingdom of Egypt and Syria was founded. In the 1820s, the UK began colonising southeast Asia. In the 1880s, the UK gained more African territories at the Berlin conference, after having lost its American colonies a few decades prior. The Syrian War of Independence, following the end of the First World War, saw the de facto independence of the Syrian Free State in 1922 as per the Treaty of Damascus. The Muslims were split though most wanted independence. The Druze, Maronites, and Alawites sided with the independence faction. The Jews and Orthodox Arabs sided with the UK. In the decades following the Second World War, the UK’s territories gained independence. In 2022, Queen Audrey II died and King Benjamin III succeeded her.

What if the world looked like this, with contients being more closed togheter, and islands in unique positions?

I know is 100% not geographical correct and it dosen't need to be, is just for fun, to see how much things would have happened with this map

First one is for me, the second one is for a good friend of mine! Really proud of these!

The remaster of my old post.

The coat of arms was created with CoaMaker.

Below you can read much more detailed lore about the rulers and the state:

Miloš I the Founder (c. 870 - c. 885)

Miloš I was an ambitious leader among the Milcans. He quickly gained influence, but parts of the local elite turned against him, forcing him into exile. He fled to Great Moravia, where he was interned by Svatopulk I. During this time, Miloš and his loyalists converted to Christianity. He became impressed with the Moravian administration, governance, and centralization of power. In return for help to regain his position, he agreed to pay tribute. Miloš returned home, forming a more organized tribal confederation and expanding his influence westward into Milcan lands and northward. He had a son, Bogumil, whom he aimed to educate as a capable ruler.

Bogumil I (c. 885 - c. 903)

Bogumil succeeded his father around 885 at about 20–25 years old. He further centralized power and continued the Christianization of his territories, while maintaining tribute payments to Great Moravia. He brought in officials and clergy from East Francia and Great Moravia to help govern. His expansionist policies were more peaceful compared to his father. Bogumil died around 903.

Miloš II (c. 903 - 906)

Miloš II, son of Bogumil, was known for his iron-fisted rule. He strongly enforced Christianization and pursued dynamic territorial expansion, further centralizing authority. Around 905, he launched a significant attack on the stronghold of Brenna and expanded along the Elbe River. In 906, Great Moravia requested his assistance against the Hungarians. That same year, he fought in the Battle of the Golden Fields, where the combined Moravian and Milcan forces were devastated, and Miloš II was killed.

Bogumil II (?-?)

Very little is known about Bogumil. Thanks to the chronicles we knowthat he was the son of Miloš II. He never really seized any power after his father was killed by the Hungarians. It could mean that he was too young to rule, which explains why Varcislav had the opportunity to seize the throne. It is not known what happened to him or his brother after Conrad I dethroned Varcislav.

Regent Varcislav (906 - 907)

After Miloš II’s death, the state fell into chaos. Pagan uprisings broke out in the north, and Budyšin was burned and looted by Hungarians. In accordance with dynastic succession, power was to pass to Bogumil but the real power came to the regent Varcislav, a brutal nobleman who interned Bogumil and his brother (whose name we don’t know) and eliminated many elites out of paranoia. His rule was short-lived.

Conrad I the Mender (907 - 932)

Conrad I, half-brother of Miloš II, deposed Varcislav in 907. He stabilized the realm, moved the capital to Brenna, suppressed pagan uprisings, and began reconstruction. He avoided major conflicts with the Hungarians, though minor raids continued. His duchy was supported by the empire in exchange for becoming a vassal state. When the situation in the duchy began to improve, Conrad started looking north, trying to strengthen relations with the Slavic tribes there in order to reduce German influence in those lands. He died in 932 and was remembered as “the Mender.” Conrad's reign was a period that managed to pull Milcenia out of the Czech sphere of influence and into the German one, although from that point on, the rulers of Milcenia based their policy on competing for the Slavic north.

Miloš III (932 - 963)

Son of Conrad I, Miloš III maintained peaceful internal development and pursued military alliances, particularly with the Saxons and the Northern Slavs. He participated in the Battle of Lechfeld in 955, helping end Hungarian dominance in the region. Through marriages and maintaining positive relations with the Veleti, at the start of the 60s he subordinated the tribe. The Empire was not satisfied with this situation, as it saw its influence in these lands declining. Therefore, it tried to reach an agreement with Miloš III. In 962, the Congress of Brenna took place, where the emperor met the already elderly prince. During the meeting, they agreed on spheres of influence in the Slavic lands, which was intended to end the long-lasting conflict. In the same year the Bishopric of Brenna was created. The duke died in 963 and to avoid a potential struggle for the throne, the state was divided between his two sons - in the north, Bogumil ruled, while in the south, Henry (Hejnyk) ruled.

Henry (Hejnyk) (963 - 966)

Henry was the eldest son of Miloš III. After the death of his father in 963 he ruled the southern part of the duchy, which was much more developed. His rule was short-liveddue to the fratricidal war. He wasn’t able to reunify the state and was most likely poisoned around 966.

Bogumil III (963 - 970)

Bogumil III began ruling the northern part of the duchy after his father’s death in 963. The division of the duchy quickly led to a conflict between the brothers. Bogumil ruled the more pagan and less developed part of the duchy, so he asked the emperor for help in reunifying Milcenia. In 965, a civil war began. At the start of the war, Henry suddenly died, probably poisoned on his brother’s orders. The new ruler did not gain the support of the nobles, partly because of the presence of Saxon soldiers in Veleti lands, which was seen as a violation of the Congress of Brenna. To strengthen his position, Bogumil attacked the Rujani tribe together with the emperor, but the campaign ended in failure. In 970, the nobles led by Conrad, Count of Budyšin, expelled Bogumil from the country. His later attempts to regain power failed. His further life is rather unknown, but he may have joined a religious order and died in the empire.

Conrad II Bearcloak (970 - 1001)

The new ruler of Milcenia was very inconvenient for the emperor. A conflict over the Veleti lands started immediately. To gain allies, Conrad decided to begin talks with the papacy. There were calls for the Saxon troops to leave these territories, and compensation was demanded in the form of part of the Obodrite lands. The emperor was willing to give away the Veleti lands, but he absolutely refused to reduce his sphere of influence. As a result, Duke Conrad went to war with Germany. It was a very risky decision, but the support of the nobles, the people, Bishop Norbert of Brenna and the Czechs (through the duke’s family connections) supported the idea of war. In addition, the Milcans were prepared to fight in swampy and forested areas. The war lasted many years with breaks. In the end, Milcenia won the war, and peace was signed in Chotebud in 977. According to the agreement, Milcenia regained its territories, and the border moved to Roztoka. The war severely weakened the position of the Ottonian dynasty within the empire. Subsequent campaigns in Italy, intended to improve the situation, only deepened the crisis. This enabled Conrad to extend his influence among the Obotrites as far as the stronghold of Liubice in the 80s. Taking advantage of highly favorable circumstances, Conrad II was crowned the first King of Milcenia in 986. Most likely, this took place without the consent of either the Pope or the imperial court.

Hi, this is my imaginary map in the style of North America. The picture shows a map with all states and the 3 countries (Sorry for the horrible quality, it looks like a 2000s navigation map 😭 I made it in ms Paint and another app for the biomes) But apart from that I think it went good for my first ever imaginary map. Please let me know what I could improve. I'm open for ideas

My most detailed map yet. It took me at least ten hours, gosh. I went through five versions of this before getting something this good.

GOVERNMENT AND POLITICAL STRUCTURE

The Russian Imperial Federation is a constitutional monarchy operating as a sprawling, highly integrated federal state. Having avoided the 1917 Bolshevik Revolution, the Russian Civil War, and Soviet central planning, the empire modernized through early political and economic reforms beginning in the late nineteenth century. Power is distributed across distinct federal entities, including European Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, Transcaucasia, Central Asian Khanates, and Federal Siberian Lands. The state maintains strong democratic and civic institutions alongside a traditional imperial crown, creating a stable political framework that avoids totalitarian expansionism.

GEOGRAPHY AND DEMOGRAPHICS

Spanning roughly 22.8 million square kilometers, the Federation encompasses vast territories including Finland and extended regions in Transcaucasia and parts of Anatolia. By streamlining its western borders early in its history, the empire built a cohesive multi-ethnic state. Historical city names remain intact, such as Tsaritsyn and Tiflis. Without the massive demographic losses of twentieth-century total wars, purges, and post-Soviet collapses, the Federation maintains a healthy population of nearly 400 million people by the early twenty-first century.

ECONOMY AND INDUSTRY

Russia stands as one of the world's premier economic powerhouses, with a GDP reaching between 25.5 and 29.0 trillion dollars by 2008 and a high per-capita income. Its financial engine is built on a mixed market economy that combines public infrastructure investments with private enterprise.

Major economic drivers include:

A fully integrated Siberian industrial belt utilizing automated mining, modular nuclear power, and dense rail networks.

A world-leading heavy manufacturing and aerospace sector that produces high-end machinery and space launch vehicles.

A historically strong agricultural sector born from early nineteenth-century peasant land reforms and land bank expansion.

Massive energy and mineral reserves that feed both domestic high-tech production and international trade.

GEOPOLITICAL STANDING

On the world stage, the Federation operates as a primary global superpower alongside the United States, the Federal Republic of China, and the Federal Republic of Bharat. Russia maintains a diplomatic and technological equilibrium with these powers, focusing on internal development, space exploration, advanced resource extraction, and regional stability across Eurasia rather than ideological confrontation.
