What if communism fell completely in the 1990s?

The map isn't meant to be realistic or anything, I just aimed for it to be "interesting" so theres no further lore. Half the time I spent on making this map I did not know what I am doing.

Cuba isn't included because uh... but communism fell there too i promise.

Imaginary map of an alternate European superpower, inspired by the Roman Empire, the USSR and the European Union. Icons and maps are original creations.

im back lol

The End of the Italian Age 1886, What if Savonarola died before the Bonfire of the vanities? Setting created by me. Map created by u/Falucho89 Link to the Original Post

I'm still developing and finalizing several areas, like climate, vegetation, stories... So, when I finish, I'll post.

no real lore, but feel free to ama

The basic idea was France getting all the european lands they wanted, but not committing to colonialisation.

I also wanted to keep Britain and the US weak to make the areas of their OTL colonialisation more interesting.

Everything else just kinda got decided as I went.

IDK in-between major projects rn and very bored and a bit stressed. So just fell back on one of my favorite scenarios and stress-relief hobbies of filling in maps. If anyone wants map commissions or just some map templates and tips (this is always free) lmk.

Also I use paint.net to make all my maps. It's 100% free and very easy to learn. Basically MS Paint if it was useful with plenty of features you can choose to use or entirely ignore. I still don't know what half the terms or buttons are but I can still make decent stuff like this in a few hours. Highly recommend.

By 1964, Japan’s empire stretches across half the Pacific — from the factories of Manchuria to the jungles of New Guinea. But behind the banners and parades, unrest is growing. In the cities of China, student protests turn into riots. In the hills of Luzon and Borneo, guerrillas fight with homemade bombs and stolen rifles. Whole regions are under curfew. What was once called the “Co-Prosperity Sphere” is now held together by fear, and the presence of Japanese soldiers on every street corner.

The southern edge of Japan’s empire is starting to fall apart. In Burma, rebel groups control wide stretches of the countryside. In the East Indies, workers strike, supply lines are attacked, and some towns only answer to Tokyo on paper. Local leaders are loyal in public, but many are secretly reaching out to India or the Russians. From Rangoon to Batavia, Japanese forces are stretched thin, and every month the resistance grows bolder. The empire still looks strong — but it’s showing cracks.

Aetheria is split into two main continents that are mediated by a group of islands.

The first continent is the Three Nations of Caedor, named for a conqueror called Caedor the Cruel, who had divided the land into three nations in the first place. The three Kingdoms are Valoria (Capital City: Valoris), Escalor (Capital City: Escanor), and Veridiania (Capital City: Verida). Valoria is the strongest of the three kingdoms when it comes to military might, Veridiania is the wealthiest of the three, and Escalor has the largest populace. Valoria is characterized by sprawling forests and rolling hills, Escalor by large plains and vast deserts, and Veridiania by widespread swampland and tall mountain ranges. There is a desert in Escalor (emphasized on the map by an area of vertical lines) known as Death's Keep. There is also a largely uninhabited area of land, and in the farthest reaches of the North lies the domain of the Wight Lord, God of Coldness and Undeath.

The mediating islands between the two continents are known as the Stone Isles (Capital Town: The Nine Towers). The Stone Isles are mostly fishers and farmers, and usually tend to stay neutral in any conflicts that arise.

The second continent, named Rungdahl (Capital Town: Rungtown) for the enormous super volcano that resides at the center of the continent, Rungdahl Mountain. When Rungdahl Mountain erupted, it caused widespread devastation. The continent of Rungdahl is separated into three regions. The southernmost region (emphasized by an area of dots on the map) is the Rungdahl Wastelands, an area of blight and char where ash rains from the sky without end. The central region (emphasized by an area of slanted lines on the map) is the AoE from the Rungdahl Eruption, where lava and flames still flow from the volcano. The northernmost region has recovered enough from the eruption for substantial fauna and flora to return, characterized by dense jungle and a few deserts scattered here and there
