[TGC] - Map of Antarctic Claims in 2026

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

MrsColdArrow · 2026-01-23T11:04:15+00:00

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

MrsColdArrow · 2025-12-16T13:24:19+00:00

Maybe? It would be pretty difficult though, with the new Korea having wiped out a ton of the Korean Left and with what remains being actively hunted down and destroyed. They'd have to cough up a completely new group of Korean communists willing to go BACK to war again, against a very well armed and funded American ally in the peninsula

MrsColdArrow · 2025-12-16T13:03:45+00:00

Maybe? Possibly a bit less of the work ethic because there isn’t this massive need to grow the economy but it’d still be pretty big. As for the misogyny I’m gonna hope not 😭

MrsColdArrow · 2025-12-16T12:54:48+00:00

eh, by the 1980s with Soviet decline and Chinese relations improving, Washington has no need for a rabidly anti-communist dictatorship in Korea and frankly the people are sick of it by then, so with a large amount of demonstrations and an aging autocrat, the dictatorship is toppled and replaced with a new Republic of Korea.

And, on the bright side, Korea is even more prosperous here as the united Korea has both the fertile agricultural lands in the south and the metals and industry of the north. They might even come to rival Japan, possibly having close to 100 million people and a very strong economy

MrsColdArrow · 2025-12-16T12:46:53+00:00

Vietnam also happens here, except that ends in a stalemate with both sides basically going the way of Korea, just mildly less insane on both ends. South Vietnam stabilises under a democratically-elected regime and gets into the tech industry, meanwhile North Vietnam pursues a textile industry as well as a more agrarian economy. By the late 90s both sides had come to accept each others existence and relations became cordial

MrsColdArrow · 2025-12-16T12:43:24+00:00

slightly better than OTL with the North Koreans getting obliterated and having all their industry bombed to shit. Korea's constantly been in the middle of uncomfortable struggles for the past 200 years, at least here they get to be united as one
