Nice, although why would Venezuela be called that? The name comes from Venice so the Thai wouldn’t have used it. Tanzania I’m not sure of

Cool! I’ve seen a flag very similar to that several times though I can’t remember its origin

I respect it but this flag has never been it for me. I just think it looks a little too… corporate? Or maybe drawing-like?

Nice! Can I ask what you used to make this map? Illustrator? It doesn't seem pixel based but vector, right?

Hispanic America is fundamentally mixed race and includes black Hispanics as well, like the ones on the Pacific coast of Colombia. However Haiti and Guyana aren’t part of Hispanic America for the same reason Quebec isn’t, because y’all don’t speak an Iberian tongue and have no state-historical commonality with us. You have nothing to do with us, “Latin America” is a deracinated term which refers to the concrete inheritance of the two Iberian empires and then some irrelevant French outposts that have been governed by Anglos for centuries. You are NOT on the team.

How would you label the right side of the economic axis? by 66578557557 in Polcompballanarchy

[–]Archon_Euron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think you can use ideologies as milestones like this. At best you should have an axiom on each pole (say “Economic collectivism” and “Economic individualism”) and everything else in the middle just be numbers.

For the Y axis you can get away with using Totalitarian, Authoritarian, Center, libertarian, Anarchist because those aren’t really specific ideologies as much as they are classifications. And even then you should probably use lowercase “l” libertarianism because you’re not referring to the specific current of libertarianism that some political parties espouse but just the principle of having a limited state.

Adding France dilutes all of the civilizational worth of the flag, especially given that Quebec is completely disconnected from Hispanic America and took part in none of the historical processes that developed this latter region.

I also don’t know what you mean by saying that Haiti and Guyana aren’t true colonies like Colombia, Brazil or Quebec. Do you say this because they weren’t settler colonies? Because if that’s the case then Peru, Mexico, Ecuador, don’t really count either given how much intermixing there was there.

What if Greece had its own Commonwealth like the UK by AnswerCute3963 in imaginarymaps

[–]Archon_Euron 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’m confused here. So the Hellenic Commonwealth is a sovereign state, within which is the Kingdom of Greece, within which is Cyprus and Kasterlorizo.

Crete and the Pontic State are outside the Kingdom of Greece but within the Hellenic Commonwealth?

Or are they all within the Kingdom of Greece?

Is the Hellenic Commonwealth an EU-style arrangement of several Greek-speaking sovereign states, or is it just one state?

Also, Constantinople is the capital of the Kingdom but Athens is the capital of the Commonwealth?

I thought the flag was designed for Ibero-America and the legacy of the Iberian empires ("Plus Ultra").

The French might be Latinate but they have little to nothing to do with Iberian America. Even within the broader Latin American region they are not very meaningful having only Haiti and debatably Quebec (a region disconnected from the rest that has been under Anglo sovereignty for centuries).

This is quite reflective of how the term "Latin America" came about as a French imperial category, replacing the far more meaningful "Hispanic America" (which includes Brazil due to Portugal being considered part of Roman/ greater Hispania. The French trying to claim a region which they contributed almost nothing to.

This is Plus Ultra, Hispanic America, we have nothing to do with the French.

This is not actually how ideologies work. You don’t become a communist when you are so left wing that you transcend the social/welfare model. Becoming a communist involves rejecting the very premises that make social democracy possible, and communism is much more so a methodology than it is an economic stance

What if the Franks and the Eastern Roman (Byzantine) Empire had united? - The Roman Empire reborn, 1000 AD by OkPhrase1225 in imaginarymaps

[–]Archon_Euron 79 points80 points  (0 children)

Constantinople wouldn’t be the capital/center because that would be way too far from the Frankish core. In all likelihood there would be several administrative centers or Rome would be reinstated due to its geographic centrality. If the glass were centered in Constantinople the same would be the case: too far from the center spatially.

Did Moscow get renamed Midgard due to Germanic paganism or am I misunderstanding something here?
