The aim of the game is to create a world. There is no game at the end of the creation, it is an effort in world building to create a realistic impression of a world, but starting with creating the countries.
A bonus map is a map that is separate, has a limited time to fill it, and if it isn't completely filled everything else becomes Terra nullus, and/or has a limited amount of nations that can be put on it.
The POD of this world will be decided. The current year is 1850, and there can be major colonial empires on one continent, but on most of the others they would rebel or mostly rebel by this point. You may edit in nations when a nation already exists there, mostly in the example of filler nations would this be needed.
Areas coloured grey on the map are NOT allowed to be claimed on, as they are part of other continents. Borders must be ONE PIXEL THICK and coloured black. The map must always be saved as a PNG image.
The moderators are myself and Naru so we have reserve a right to alter borders slightly if we see fit. Note that you may claim several nations on one continent, as we may have not many players.
PLEASE NOTE: This is NOT a map game/nations game. This is a map continuation. This one is also only to be used when either Map Continuation 1 is locked, or is finished.

-
Adding the first nashun.
-
I thought you meant the other Map Continuation.
-
United Kingdoms of Iberia, Sardinia, and Corsica
-
Kingdom of Macedonia
-
Union of Austria-Hungary-Yugoslavia-Aquileia
-
POD? Period of Display? I think I'll jump in here.
-
POD = Point Of Divergence.
ATL = Alternate TimeLine
-
Point of Diversion, iirc.
Ninja'd by Darv.
-
I got the ATL part already, just wasn't sure what you meant by POD.
Iceland-Scandinavian Alliance An alternative I thought of was Norselandic Union, if you want to use that, but I wasn't sure. Also, Svalbard (the name of the island group near the top I believe) isn't really inhabited (unless you want armored bears in this ATL ;D ), just claimed by Scandinavia.
Edit: The nation is now called Nordic Kingdoms.
-
filler
-
Oops, Naru, could you merge that one and mine? I put mine up while you were posting I guess.
Edit: Or I'll just slap it on myself.
-
If I draw the borders horribly, can you please fix them or do I have to draw them correctly or my map is invalid? :P
-
If I draw the borders horribly, can you please fix them or do I have to draw them correctly or my map is invalid? :P
Just use the most recently posted one and you should be okay.
Edit: Updated map. I made the line as similar as possible, but as Darvince said, he or Naru can adjust them as needed.
-
Quite.
-
Now people are going to be confused whether you want the one with the border in the austrian alliance or the one without. :P
-
Nah, me, darv, and atomic were discussing about the situation in the IRC. It was for a border change since the Danubian Union/Austria was a bit large (not really much a problem, though.)
-
New Roman Republic has formed. Fix the borders if necessary. :P
-
Anybody think we should have the United Kingdom islands, well, united? I was thinking of them being as one, but also add the Normandy area and the northwestern part of France since the British kept that area this time around.
-
WHY DID YOU CLAIM GREECE?!
AAA
-
It's an alternate timeline, I like that idea though of what deoxy did.
@Naru: Which IRC? universe sandbox?
-
Grand Duchy of Naples
Redid smjjames's nation a bit to fill in areas and chopped off Iceland, as it looked a bit weird.
-
Dude, you didn't add mine...
-
Well you kept the old Austria-Hungary/Danube Republic
-
Now I need to rename that as Icelandic-Scandinavian alliance doesn't fit anymore. IMO Norselandic Kingdom should be okay, although sounds a little on the fantasy side for the map. So, will Norselandic Kingdom work for you guys?
-
Nordic Union would sound better. :P
-
um taken while i try nationcreating.
-
Actually, Norselandic doesn't sound fantastical, as Norse doesn't inherently mean fantastical things, such as fairy tales or Yggdrasil.
-
Uhh, no, you may not take this turn because Darvince didn't put my nation in his map.
-
I meant the way it sounded tone wise as far as the nation names already put up. However, I'd agree with deoxy, Nordic Union (or Nordic Kingdom, or Nordic Empire....) sounds somewhat better.
Also, I think deoxys nation should be on there as well....
-
Nordic Kingdom.
-
asdf
-
Are you guys on an IRC atm? I tried to go to the US IRC but nobody else was there.
-
##universesandbox.
not #universesandbox
-
We're almost always there.
-
/me pokes darvince's near 24/7 vigil on irc
-
Okay, I found something here: If the rules don't say I can't put it on there, then I should be able to put it on there.
Ha, try to argue with that.
-
My guess is because the Roman idea has long since been abandoned because of the new era.
-
The moderators are myself and Naru
@deoxy The rules do say that though.
Greater Byzantium

I'm sure Naru is going to want to make the borders more complex though. :P
-
Looks okay, although you could have filled in the space between that and the yellow one.

Edit: Did a bit of cleanup along with making provinces or city states in the Duchy of Naples. Its now starting to look as fragmented as Europe was in 1850, I think.
-
Hang on while I do some fixes
-
Okay. I was just researching into Iceland for a good spot on where and how to fragment Iceland. Did you know that Iceland had a civil war back in the 13th century?
-
No, I didn't learn much of Iceland lol.
Commonwealth of Poland-Ruthenia
Bla if you don't mind I took some territory of the Socialist Baltics..
-
Duchy of Athens has formed! Yes, it may be OTL somewhat, I know. Btw, I don't want red, change it to purplish. I'm going so I can't do anything to it. Very light purple will do.
-
Wouldn't it be called Greece by then?
-
I didn't know it had a civil war either until I looked.
Rekijavic Kingdom (blue) Austfirðir Republic (green) Sturlungar Oligarchy (Tan)
@Naru: How about Hellenic League?

FFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU-
The Kingdom of Astrakhan
Bloody hell deoxy, this is EIGHTEEN FIFTY
Btw, the dark grey is Terra Nullus, or uninhabited.
-
Who knew? You didn't put that in the rules... or I couldn't see it, or when you said you'd decide the POD I thought the time period was unknown.
-
The Middle East is here! Expand your nations and/or add new ones.
-
Federal Republic of Caucasia
-
Kingdom of Mecca
-
Resolve this issue.
Lesser Byzantium
-
United Territories of Western Turkey
-
Or I suppose that works.
-
Actually, Kingdom of Mecca is Orthodox because of recent Orthodox revolts. :P
-
Still, it'd be nerfed quit ea bit.
-
Kingdom of Petra
-
Duchy of Sinai forms. I added Mughal Empire, but delete that if you think it goes against the rules of this.
-
United States of Crusader Kingdoms
-
Can you combine both and remove that thing in India I put in mine? :P
-
the Demonic Republic of Toxic Eggshells
-
I hope this is okay with you...
Btw, for Mecca, those are the border proposals, since it is rather silly for it to be that large if it was a recent revolt.
The Holy Crusader State of Sinai, believed to have the "holy" mountain of Sinai in it.
-
I'd like it like this please.
Edit: Changed all to the same color (why is some of it lighter than the actual color of my country?)
-
Okay, fix'd.
-
Duchy of Sinai forms. I added Mughal Empire, but delete that if you think it goes against the rules of this.
Actually, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mughal_Empire (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mughal_Empire) says that the Mughal empire began to disintegrate in the early-mid 1700s, although at 1850 OTL, the Mughal Empire is almost dead. It was primarily through conflicts with the British, so we just need to put some colonial empires in there.
So, you could have a piece of the Mughal empire in there.
Edit: You guys forgot a border between the crusader states and Kingdom of Petra.
-
This is only reflect to ATL, not OTL. And Mughal Empire was Islamic.
-
What's the purple nation on the Sinai?
-
The Holy Crusader State of Sinai, believed to have the "holy" mountain of Sinai in it.
-
Oh I get it now, lol
-
Edit: You guys forgot a border between the crusader states and Kingdom of Petra.
No, he didn't forget one, he occupied your territory.
-
Edit: You guys forgot a border between the crusader states and Kingdom of Petra.
No, he didn't forget one, he occupied your territory.
He explained it in IRC, it's a special territory.
-
Lake Van and Urmia added.

-
Ain't letting this die out.
New Babylonia Evolved from a Mesopotamian revival movement.
Also, I made the nation of cars darker as it looked too close to the water color and fixed the crappy borders of the other two. The southern one actually wasn't as bad, but still needed major cleanup.
-
Today's school, so there mostlikely won't be any activity for about four hours.
Also I'm going to add a rump Persia, so no one take Persia pl0x.
-
I wanted to fix up the crappy borders of what m435 added anyways.
-
United Republics of Eastern Turkey
-
Kingdom of the West Arabian Sea
-
United Kingdom of Middle Arabia

Naru's doing huge fixes, so it'll be locked until the fixes are done.

Mughal Empire Part of whats left of it anyway since the Mughal empire also went into decline in this timeline and in OTL 1850, the Mughal Empire is almost dead.
Edit: Made it look more like a dying empire (origionally had it down to the coast) and there is an opportunity to add colonial powers or other nation-states to India.
Also, how should we display where the Himalayas are in India? Because ATL or not, they're still major border defining features. Just a thought here since I was using google maps, satellite view, to get a bearing on where the Mughal borders would be. Not sure if they're historically accurate OTL, but hey, thats the point of ATL.

I think Jammu & Kashmir is still a bit misplaced, though. :P
-
You could shift that around a little if needed, also the Mughal Empire needs to be smaller, its a dying empire, remember? OTL, 1850 was close to the end of the Mughal Empire, and so I want it to be that way for ATL. I don't know how big it was in OTL 1850, but it was certainly a shell of its former self.
-
Commonly dying empires are split into pieces.
-
You're free to carve it up further really, the other states in India could be fragments of it.
Edit: Thamatparavehdra Kingdom and Norse Kingdoms colony of Singapore (blue)
Additionally, the colony of Singapore would also control a few more islands just south of it, but I can't edit that atm.
-
Expanding on AHYA's Indian colonies.
-
[joke]Golden Horde![/joke]
I'll post a real one in a bit.
-
Dravidian Princedoms and an extension of the Muscovy Mercantile Republic.
Edit: Missed a few border angles.

No that Golden Horde is deoxy's dream. :P

It was just a joke :P

Chuck Testa. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shang_dynasty)
-
Damn it. Call it Shu Dynasty then... and then watch, Shu isn't proper Chinese or the dynasty really existed.
-
Shin Dynasty.
you are in pain
-
Shang Dynasty (hopefully this dynasty didn't actually exist).
Chuck Testa. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shang_dynasty)
Second millenium BC though, maybe you can rename it the NeoShang dynansty? I know the word Neo isn't Chinese though.....
I think Shu might be a syllable in Chinese, but I know nothing about that, and whatever works.
-
Shu means tree in Chinese.
So yay, I can use Shu Dynasty!
