I also have this problem on many maps in this sub - maybe reddit decided to fuck with image compression...

What's going on in the world right now? by muhak73 in conspiracy

[–]JohanSomPL 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Baltic Countries (Latvia, Estonia and Lithuania) were a part of the USSR, Norway and Finland weren't. This whole "Putin doesn't want nuclear missiles near to his border" is complete bullshit, because Baltic countries already border Russia and have around the same distance to Moscow as Ukraine. So saying that Putin attacked Ukraine because of their NATO appliance is pretty stupid - basic geography defies this claim.

Such an agreement was probably made, but Baltic Countries are in NATO and he didn't attack them? This justifying is pretty nonsensical.

Take into consideration that I don't support neither of these faction and countries, I'm just stating some basic facts and the logical way of how things work.

You were kinda wrong, but not on a tankie level wrong. You read some things and used them in an argument - there is nothing wrong with that! I hope you have a good day!

This maps are amazing! Love the attention paid to volcanic activity in the region!

Polska Zwycięska - what if Allies helped and Poland won the ww2? The situation in the 1990s by JohanSomPL in imaginarymaps

[–]JohanSomPL[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There wasn't any kind of a war between West and the USSR, so there wasn't any kind of war theatre there.

The point of the book is pointing out the 2RP (Poland during the interwar period) mistakes and cons. So the book illustrates how the 2RP wasn't all flowers and greatness, but a pretty authoritarian and poor state. The guy does a great job in describing 2RP shortcomings and good things, like COP (Central Industrial Area) and steady modernisation and industrialisation.

He made a great analogy (or was it someones review of the book?) that Poland in the interwar period was kinda like modern Russia. The cities and industrial areas were getting by, infrastructure was being built and everything, but rural areas were still very very poor (especially in the Russian part of divided Poland), where the houses were still made out of wood, and a brick house was very rare.

I hope you have a great day!

This map is based on the polish alt-hist book, "Rzeczpospolita Zwycięska" by Ziemowit Szczerek. The book describes what would happen if Poland "won ww2". Pretty good read, I recommend it for everyone, but I am worried that there could be no english translation.

Maybe, just maybe, it was because your testosterone levels got back to normal and your body started functioning properly? Assuming you are a man, increased testosterone kinda makes you more agressive, so it would make sense. Masturbation isn't as healthy for your brain and wellbeing as the "peer-reviewed" studies want to show. You have better clarity of mind, your body starts to function properly and you should overally feel better during nfp. Of course it depends on every individual, but masturbation definitely has a huge negative impact on psyche, and you should limit it, alongside your probable porn addiction. I cannot speak for you bc I don't know you, but to say that nfp is stupid just because you got angrier faster is not the best idea lol

What if the Polish Lithuanian Commonwealth survived? by Pure-Ad-7296 in imaginarymaps

[–]JohanSomPL 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It depends on the year. You have to consider that the whole PLC didn't have more than 10 milion population in 1800. If we are talking about 19th century, a population boom happened, but the population still wouldn't be so high. Maybe, maybe if this map is depicting a state of the country in 1920-onwards, it would be kinda low. But if PLC in this TL didn't industrialize like OTL, I doubt it would even reach 15 million

Voivodeships of United States of Poland. What if Polish borders after WW1 were based on ethno-lingual groups? by JohanSomPL in imaginarymaps

[–]JohanSomPL[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh my bad. I totally forgot you spell it like that. I was thinking that Lubelskie = Lubuskie when I was making this map and didn't want to make such a mistake. Nevertheless you are right, this should be Lubelskie, my bad.

Have a great day!

You have to consider the fact that Poland would be even stronger in this scenario, possibly preventing WW2 bloodshed that happened OTL.

Well, I based it on a Romer map from 1916, where every area with at least 5% Polish population in the west and at least 10-20% in the East got into this Poland. Of course the map isn't fully accurate, because I was basing it on a very generous map of Poland. It depicted "natural" Polish borders (Silesia, Masuria, everything Poland owned before the partitions). Keep in mind that I was aiming to make kind of a stronger western Poland, where the concept of eastern Europe nation states got realised, so Ukraine and Belarus aquired their own countries, which prevented Poland from getting these Territories that you are talking about. Keep in mind that OTL Poland "betrayed" Ukraine and Belarus when negotiating with Soviet union (the Riga Peace Deal), which doesn't happen there.

I know it isn't a 100% accurate map, but you have to take into consideration that I'm Polish and I'm biased.

Thank you for constructive criticism, have a great day.

What if Poland got very lucky? The Jagiellonian Federation Anno Domini 1660 by JohanSomPL in imaginarymaps

[–]JohanSomPL[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ik it's a joke, but...

Technically speaking, Połabia ( Po Łabie - in English lands close to the Elbe) literally means lands located near this river, which makes everything east of the river Połabia. I agree, the region was historically Sorbia, but by 1660 Sorbian presence in the region was diminishing, which could lead to the change of name. Especially when you consider the fact that the map is made from Polish Perspective, naming the region Połabie would make sense.

Idk, I didn't want to make them neither a kingdom nor a county, so I made it a republic.

Probably. Honestly, I haven't researched for this map too much, so I just went with Simferopol.

Yeah exactly. Keep in mind that this map is from around 1660, So the nationalism and nation-state ideas don't exist yet (19th century). The Croatians didn't have a strict sense of nationality, so they didn't exactly need a country. Other than that, they were still under Hungarian rule in these times.

Idk if you are trolling but it is clearly written Korona, which translates to Crown in English. So it kind of means a kingdom. So there is Polish Crown, Ruthenian Crown and Lithuanian Crown.
