    Request Maps/Flags/Coats of Arms/Heraldry here, II

    Not sure if this really counts, but can anyone recall the name of the German site that would have loads of maps? All done in the same stile. I believe that the background was a greenish-teal. Used to be one of the top websites showing up on google when looking for stuff like Gueldern or...

    PC: Austrian Belgium

    I couldn’t say, though I suppose Austria losing Galicia would require a large amount of land. Come to think of it, having both all of Galicia and Saxony swallowed up by neighboring countries would mean Silesia would be, without a doubt, now forever lost. Something the Hapsburgs still clung to...

    WI: rice and rubber became cultivated in the Mediterrranean and Europe starting from Roman times?

    You can turn wheat and barley into bread. Not sure what you can do with rice besides making porridge. Or what the calories are like when you compare the two. Perhaps you should look into the terrain and agriculture of southern and eastern Anatolia.

    WI: rice and rubber became cultivated in the Mediterrranean and Europe starting from Roman times?

    possibly you would have pools of water to grow it in, but it may not exactly be fresh water. I think up until even the time of Mussolini there were marshlands around Rome that were being drained due to risk of malaria from mosquitos. Rice would need to be some sort of luxury good, otherwise more...

    PC: Austrian Belgium

    Might be you want to do a larger swap. Prussia had apparently been keen on giving up more of their (and I thing also Austrian) portions of the Parition of Poland to Russia, in exchange for being allowed to annex all of Saxony. If Austria reaaaaaally wanted Belgium, then they might need to...

    What if China, Thailand & Iran all joined the cental powers in ww1?

    All of them had already been. Do you mean partitioned? If so, the same thing applied to them already. I doubt anything could have happened that would be as catastrophic as what happened to the Ottomans, but really it is like with Hungary. They lose lots of land, but it was mostly stuff not...

    By that same token, would we see a lot of New Englanders moving into Canada, much as they did IOTL? Though usually it was to southern Ontario I think. Harder to get there here, and I feel a lot of French Canadians might also head to Louisiana for the Cajun and Acadians. Actually, I can see the...

    I do see the New Hampshire lost a bit of land, and that Massachusetts might have got back or lost more of that tiny corner of land they gave to New York. Unsure. Really, for 1812 divergent maps it always feels a bit weird with the British taking Maine or other land from New England and then...

    WI: The IRA assassinateQueen Elizabeth II?

    We can expect some more massacres by some of the Protestant paramilitary groups in Ulster against Catholics. Apparently they were quite brutal and kept the Catholics in a bit of an apartheid state, though the Irish state did not want to annex areas while leaving British laws that were more...

    Well, if he was the former heir, surely they could call it after one of his titles. Even Newer and More Southern Wales, perhaps. Might give Australia a claim to the land(and my, I wonder how the French, Australians, and New Zealanders would try to split it in this world) but it would prevent...

    What if China, Thailand & Iran all joined the cental powers in ww1?

    Indeed. One of the whole things about the beginning of the war and the frantic ness was everyone mobilizing their armies, which takes time and was deemed as grounds for preemptive strikes by some of the parties. Well, not really grounds for the Germans, who were pretty flippant about heading...

    What if China, Thailand & Iran all joined the cental powers in ww1?

    You would need a date for each entry, as things did get quite interesting in the Balkans, with people jockeying fornthe support or neutrality of the Bulgarians, Greeks, Ottomans, and Romanians. Anyways, Thailand would be in a very precarious position and would de facto be making war by...

    The Norwegians named their section after a Swede? Did they get the land before the personal union was dissolved?

    King Charles Gay?

    I expect he would still get married. After all, it was just How Things Were Done. Though people would be concerned or mock Charles if it did ever come out, using old stereotypes of homosexuals (when not being predators) as being effeminate weaklings. Mostly just ends up as more tabloid fodder I...

    How would a NATO invasion of Warsaw Pact go?

    I would suggest having individual countries doing the invasion, but besides for Germany very few had territorial claims in Warsaw Bloc countries. Hell, even if you have revolutions in some countries, it would be difficult for countries to get around Germany to invade or help anyone. As people...

    What exact economic system would Che Guevara implement if he became leader of Cuba?

    I know very little on this I admit, but what would he think about tobacco? Sure, he smoked cigars and Cuba exported it to the Soviets, but did his time in Argentina (though later followed by time in Mexico and Guatemala) give him a picture of how it was leftover from the days of plantations, and...

    @Aichi72 I had so many questions about the British isles here, and Germany, but your explanation in the test did cover that. Mostly. Are Man and the Channel Islands directly annexed to Scotland and England, or are they staying in personal Union? Always possible the Germans took them as bases...

    I for one look forward to the mystery where they discovered who murdered Butler Black in what room, and with what weapon, followed by either no one caring or the murderer getting extra votes during the next election.

    I always knew the Mormons, Survivalists, Ecosnobs, Sioux, and Norwegian-Americans were in on it together.

    Can industrialization happen without causing democracy?

    It varies. The “Sun King” centralized authority by spending huge swathes of money on a dirty palace and then refusing to listen to anyone who did not live there with him, scoffing at them and making comments to that effect. It was a bit like in Japan for a while, when the Shogunate kept loads of...
