I don't think the labeled cities are supposed to be capitals, unless this plan also includes multiple capitals per state.

Radio Prune posted:Anyone got any good alt-hist or irredentism maps? There's a folk myth in Hungary that "Hungary's shores were washed by three seas", based on the personal empire of Louis the Great which extended to the blue boundaries on this generous interpretation:  (The reason it's a myth is that a) although Louis was separately king of Poland, Poland was of course never integrated into Hungary; and b) the kingdom of Poland didn't reach up to the Baltic Sea at this point anyway.) That probably represents the maximum extent of popular Hungarian irredentism, much larger than the standard interpretation of Greater Hungary:

Torrannor posted:Yes please, a union of Cyprus, most of Greece and the by far poorest parts of Italy, what could go wrong? (Incidentally, Sealand's German and Dutch border seems pretty much designed to allow a Low German revival, which I'm also completely in favor of.) Torrannor posted:2. Good luck convincing the Poles to join a state called Prussia and governed from Berlin.

There's an irredentist movement of Greeks in Northern Epirus (in the south of Albania). And pretty much everyone wants Albanians gone from inside their borders (except for Albania and Kosovo). They're just not acting on that desire.

cheerfullydrab posted:Except that the largest the HRE ever got was smaller than present-day Namibia. Africa is a big continent, and a lot of those states in that fantasy map are actually giant countries. Past your Luxembourgs, your San Marinos, and your Monacos, you have plenty of countries in Europe that are considered to be mid-range that are actually teeny tiny. Best example, because they have the same shape, is that Denmark is way smaller than Togo. Quick reference: Alaska covers roughly 2/3rds the land area of DRC. Although, to make a map comparable with the HRE, I'd have to see one of the HRE divided by the lingua franca of the ruler/elite/bishopric. Most of Africa can solidly be divided between English, French, Spanish/Portuguese, Arabic, Belgian, and a few other administrarive langiages.

Also, the Kingdom of Denmark is the 12th biggest country in the world.
