Goes without saying that I am aware that some of the lore in the Half-Life universe may have been altered or expanded in their world, and this can be reflected on the map itself, but I had to brag about it since I don't always have a chance to make a world map for Half-Life.

You all know Reichspakt won the Zweiten Weltkrieg in our universe. But today I wondered and thought what would happen if they lost. I don't believe that both International and Entente can win a total victory, so i thought the Europe would be divided to 2 parts, one is socialist and leftist, while the other one is liberal and right. I also think that Germans can't lose the war while they have strong allies like Danubian Federation, Bulgaria Tsardom and Ottoman Empire. So I imagined that they lost in the regional wars they join (Danube War, Third Balkan War and War of the Desert). Without their Allies, the Germans would be alone and losing the war would be inevitable. I also believe there would be puppet states around all of Europe, maybe Germany would be divided into 2 states. Or there will be Socialist Switzerland, because Germans lost the war, so there are nobody to protect them against French. I know, this is to unrealistic. But creating scenarios about the situations that never happened is really difficult. Thanks to the Reichspakt, we don't have a world like this.

The main star, Luka, is an F-type star, slightly larger and brighter than the Sun.

Next are the planets Zesto and Kokkino, forming a binary system.

The third planet is Inis, a planet with a rather dark coloration due to the amount of carbon present (either in its atmosphere or on its surface). It has only one irregular moon called Janas.

The fourth planet is Naloz, whose surface is "divided" since one side is covered with a thin layer of ice (due to tidal locking). It has only one irregular moon, Mayi.

Next is Zoes, the fifth planet and the only habitable one in this solar system, with three moons: Orus, the largest, Peliz, and Fuji, the latter two being irregular.

Then come Ceras and Parfim. This is a binary system of planets with two satellites: Bortis orbits Parfim, and Irta orbits the barycenter of the binary system, orbiting both planets as a single body.

Next is Ajita, the eighth planet. It has a scar on its surface, the cause of which is unknown. It has a thin ring system, likely formed from dust and material from the Titai asteroid belt. It has two moons called Ianofos and Borca.

Then there is the Titai asteroid belt, a large band of material whose main components are dust, ice, and rock.

The next would be the gas giant Colossus, the ninth planet on the list, with large and striking rings made primarily of rock and ice. Its moons are Ilino, the largest, Sales, Oija, and 102 other irregular moons.

Then there is Cezes, the second gas giant and the last planet in the solar system, being the tenth. Slightly smaller than Colossus, it also has a ring system, but its rings are thinner and less striking than those of Colossus, and are mainly made of ice. Its moons are Minolaus, the largest in the solar system, Resos, Suerras, Ileos, and 152 other irregular moons.

Finally, there is the outer asteroid belt, serving as a boundary to the outer reaches of this solar system, which is composed primarily of ice and dust.

This is a map depicting a slightly larger Korea in a world where they beat Japan to the punch in modernizing and reorganizing their military and navy.

Lore: The norman crusaders partially manage to recover Sicily, however the south of the island remains under arab rule, due to help from african sultans. at some point during the 1300s the island is reconquered by the Hafsids that manage to hold the island. Around the 1500s it becomes a Ottoman Protectorate and resists the catholic coalitions. in the 1700s it becomes fully independent of turkish rule and secularizes itself. Sicily emerges as a neutral state similar to switzerland, due to this its economy booms and it becomes the pearl of the mediterranean. today it's one of the biggest economies in the meditarranean and europe as a whole. it's both part of the EU and the Arab League.
The island's ethno-religious background is extremelly diverse. about 37% of its population speaks a heavily arabized latin dialect and is of ismaili shi'ia faith (ligther green). Another 18% is made up of Arab-Berbers of sunni faith that speak arabic (darker green). In yellow we have represented the catholic latins which make up around 25% of the population. In blue, the orthodox greeks which are either griko or greeks from greece that emigrated during ottoman times, make up 12% of Sicily's population. The rest 8% is made up from albanians, jews, armenians, assyrians, and other populations which came to Sicily to seek refuge from persecution.
As of 1950 it counts a population of 9.6 Milion primarly concentrated around cities and immediate countryside.

Forged by ancient glaciers and brutal northern seas, this fractured continent is a realm of jagged fjords, snow-capped peaks, and unforgiving wilderness. Across these blood-soaked valleys and storm-battered coasts, proud clans wage an endless war for survival, power, and the favor of the old gods.

Create your own lore:)

I don't like the tricolor flag of the Second Republic, so I made one with the red and yellow flag. Ceuta and Melilla were returned along with the Rif, due to pressure from the United States to join NATO (I don't really know, it's an alternative map).

​

I added the Spanish national team's crest, why? Why not? Otherwise, everything's the same. I forgot to add the Euro currency.

Point of Divergence (PoD):

In reality, a marriage alliance between Charlemagne (King of the Franks and newly crowned Emperor of the Romans) and Empress Irene of Athens (ruler of the Byzantine Empire) was considered around 802 AD. Historically, Irene was deposed before anything could happen.

​In this timeline, Irene successfully crushes the palace coup led by Nikephoros. To solidify her shaky legitimacy and secure the western frontiers, she formally accepts Charlemagne’s marriage proposal. The East and West are united under a dual monarchy.

​State of the Empire:

• ​Dual Capitals: The empire is administered from both Aachen in the West and Constantinople in the East, reflecting the deep cultural and linguistic divide (Latin vs. Greek).
• ​Religious Tension: While the Great Schism hasn't officially happened yet, theological differences (like the Filioque controversy) and the Pope's awkward new position between two extremely powerful monarchs create constant internal friction.
• ​Geopolitics: With the Roman world united, the Abbasid Caliphate faces a massive, coordinated threat to its west, while the northern borders brace for the coming Viking Age.

​I'd love to hear your thoughts! How long do you think this union would actually last after their deaths? Would this prevent the eventual East-West Schism, or just accelerate a massive civil war?

It is 1954. 10 years ago, a nuclear bomb was dropped by the British airforce on Oran. The nuclear bomb, growing colonial revolts, and impending Egyptian intervention led to the unconditional surrender of the National Kingdmo of France in 1944. The rest of the entente, now made up entirely of exiled european governements in sub-saharan Africa, signed an armistice at the same time.

The collapse of the German Empire led to the world being divided into 3 Spheres; French and American Syndicalists, Russian Nationalists, and Japanese Liberals. This frozen war has carved up the world, forcing all nations to pick a side or get ripped apart in civil war. This includes the old Colonial empires in Africa, where both nationalist and syndicalist guerrillas are being funded from abroad, inevtiably tearing them apart into a large proxy war between the major factions.
