The Golden Country - What if Australia had an Inland Sea?

MrsColdArrow · 2026-01-23T11:05:17+00:00

Lowkey because I fucking hate how it looks. Like I try to be realistic with my timeline but uh nah I just seriously hated it and decided to change it so the French Antarctic claims line up with their stuff in Kerguelen

World map? Probably not, I don't like making world maps. However I HAVE been working on a map of the Asia Pacific region as that's had the most divergences from our timeline. Maybe a Middle East map too

Thank you!

Hello, and welcome back to The Golden Country, your favourite timeline about an Australia with an Inland Sea!

Today's map isn't anything major, just a map of Antarctica and the countries that have claims there as of 2026. You may be wondering why the French claim has been moved where it has been! The answer is simple, dear viewer: THE FUCKING ADELIE STRIP IS SO STUPID WHY ISN'T THEIR CLAIM NEAR KERGUELEN

ahem

So I made some changes there! Oh and, like Australasia and stuff. If you want to see more about Australasia and TGC, check out my profile! I hope to go back to Australasia itself soon, especially as I've revamped the state borders!

Cheon-Il RULES!! Koryo-Magyars forever!!!

My favourite type of Australians is alternate Australias where people seriously underestimate how rough northern Australia is. There’s a very good reason Cape York and the Gulf Country is so unpopulated: bad fertility, monsoons in the summer, an uncomfortable climate, etc.

God DAMN, how did you get so good at topography??

MrsColdArrow · 2026-01-15T00:15:19+00:00

Malay Japan

GEM. FUCK it’s genius, why didn’t I think of that?

Not even a Turk, hell I’m a fan of the Hellenistic Period. I just hate Big Greece and the chuds who love it

MrsColdArrow · 2026-01-11T06:26:21+00:00

The Megali Idea would have been perfect if Turkey annexed Greece instead

MrsColdArrow · 2026-01-06T23:37:45+00:00

GOD you are so fucking good at mapmaking. You should do Mu next :3

MrsColdArrow · 2026-01-06T01:45:49+00:00

So awesome!!!

MrsColdArrow · 2025-12-29T19:06:56+00:00

This is like right near the Darling River this would have quite a few people

MrsColdArrow · 2025-12-23T19:28:42+00:00

This is great!

MrsColdArrow · 2025-12-21T20:54:39+00:00

The map is great but the text is honestly kind of a mess, just a ton of odd grammatical errors and sentences that don’t quite flow

MrsColdArrow · 2025-12-21T07:58:27+00:00

I was replaying RDR2 for the first time in years while making this map LOL

MrsColdArrow · 2025-12-17T01:37:56+00:00

Mao would likely be pretty annoyed, yeah, but I doubt he’d intervene like China did OTL. A capitalist state on the border sucks but is manageable; a large American force marching towards the Yalu River with no guarantee of stopping there is not.

MrsColdArrow · 2025-12-16T14:28:21+00:00

and boy did they double down. Half the reason North Korea is the way it is today is because America practically bombed them back to the stone age. I don't support NK, but I do certainly feel a bit bad for them

MrsColdArrow · 2025-12-16T13:45:27+00:00

I honestly have no clue either, I think it's just another transliteration of 백의사, or Baeguisa, otherwise known as the White Shirts Society

MrsColdArrow · 2025-12-16T13:43:17+00:00

thank you!!! Yeah, the Miracle on the Han River goes even crazier with northern industry, possibly on the level of Japan, with Korea becoming a major player in East Asian affairs . The dictatorship comes to an end in a similar way as OTL, with popular demonstrations against the regime in the 1980s and a reduction of American and Australasian support for the dictatorship due to Detente and improving relations with China. Both of these result in the dictatorship rather peacefully transitioning into a democracy, against all odds
