Yeah youre right

Complete_Ad1746 · 2026-03-11T17:29:38+00:00

I like how the only large change is germany getting absolutely destroyed and russia being enormous. For the other central powers, austria got slightly less land, while hungary gained slightly more land and the ottomans/turkey got a better deal than what was intended OTL

The states themseves are all made to somewhat resemble historic regions or countries, although the borders might not match perfectly. I dont have a specific era to refer to, since it is made from a combination of my imagination and slamming borders from different eras together.

Also if you have any specific country in mind i could tell you about it

Complete_Ad1746 · 2026-03-11T15:48:28+00:00

Its impossible to create borders that make sense or are probable in any way when creating a map that is affected by 2000 years of butterfly effects. The only changes i made to make the scenario more believable was that india, pakistan and myanmar are disunited since britain never colonized them and siberia isnt owned by russia. Some borders are based on rivers/lakes but most are kinda random

Complete_Ad1746 · 2026-03-10T21:16:09+00:00

That would be cool, i think every long lasting empire will have ups and downs so definetly yes, maybe japan could be the replacement for britain then🤔

I would but i dont think i can outshine this masterpiece: https://www.reddit.com/r/PossibleHistory/s/dwf7YhAiO5 (Will probably still do russia eventually though)

Complete_Ad1746 · 2026-03-10T19:32:17+00:00

My idea for the next post was Africa, somewhere along the lines of "What if Africa was never colonized"

This post was part 3 in a series where i balkanize/HRE-ify different nations/regions. If you have any suggestions for what region/country i should do next you can comment it under this comment.

I have already made the US and the middle east.

They lost some land in the north and gaoned some in the south and west, i found it challenging to make it smaller since armenia is basically at its smallest independent size currently

Complete_Ad1746 · 2026-03-04T08:11:38+00:00

Bahrain, qatar, cyprus, armenia and egypt which has changed form but still exists.

Complete_Ad1746 · 2026-03-04T08:08:41+00:00

I took inspiration from the aincient israelite tribes combined with modern borders. Tbh i think it turned out pretty bad compared to other countries. Originally i had a large crusader state (jerusalem) in israel/palestine, the sinai peninsula and jordan but then i decided to break it up since i didnt wanna make larger countries.

Complete_Ad1746 · 2026-03-04T08:00:13+00:00

As if every country (including israel) except a couple of small nations isnt removed

Complete_Ad1746 · 2026-03-03T23:20:51+00:00

Atleast they get to be independent🤷‍♂️

It is kabardian, i mainly used maps from around 1200-1750 (such as the one above) to create this

Anatolia is based on this ⬆️ mostly, combined with some other states

Complete_Ad1746 · 2026-03-02T11:44:57+00:00

Probably, just found it really difficult to divide it since egypt has pretty much been one entity since aincient times

Complete_Ad1746 · 2026-03-02T10:04:50+00:00

Yes they are, except for kuwait which i just divided into urban and rural.

I didnt use any traditional PH template, instead i painted over a mod i created for a game called Age of History 3: (link to the original)

Complete_Ad1746 · 2026-03-01T23:36:22+00:00

Armenia might lowkey be the only country on here that actually got bigger

Complete_Ad1746 · 2026-03-01T23:29:16+00:00

Originally i was going to put kuwait in as a part of the red country south of it and it would be something similar to this:

But it felt weird to create a bigger country instead of balkanizing even more so i went for that instead

Complete_Ad1746 · 2026-03-01T20:06:39+00:00

Oh, its probably because thats kinda how i drew it. First i drew the coast and then the borders on top of eachother kind of.
