Farecoal posted:I don't get it From about 1805 onward the United States claimed what is today British Columbia while the British claimed modern day Washington. It was a hotly debated issue between the United States and United Kingdom, who shared joint occupancy of the territory with the Americans. For Americans, it was an opportunity to expand the United States while maintaining the delicate balance between the slave and free states. For the British, Vancouver was the nexus of fur trade. America and Britain nearly went to war in 1845 after President Polk adopted annexation of the entire territory to his platform. It is still a popular Point of Diversion in alternate history. I am rather surprised by the map's suggestion that Russia owns everything west of the Rocky Mountains. Abel Wingnut posted:Is Turkey part of China there? Turkey and China are suppose to be demilitarized minor states. The Soviets had a few crazy maps of their own. Let me see if I can find one.

My favorite part of this map is Hebrew Land. Of course, there's a different (ethnicity) Land that is at least somewhat relevant even today.

The terrifying world of 2053. I just want to point out that the capital of the Greater United States appears to be Kingston and Bangladesh appears to have sunk beneath the waves.

A map that supposedly came from some small Egyptian Christian expat website showing the proposed division of Egypt. It caused an outrage inside Egypt, assisted by Egyptian media demagogues. I added a translation of the legend.  Also North Africa in total-

I didn't mean to badger you into taking it down, just that with no label or original filename it's hard to get context for what it's depicting (given that we've had the hog distribution map earlier ITT, it could have been anything) penus de milo fucked around with this message at 10:04 on Feb 3, 2013 |

I think I've been looking at google earth a lot and found the geography of the mideast way more varied than at first I thought? It really is way more interesting than its typically portrayed and temperate jungles are amazingly cool. e: again, just not innately political

ComradeCosmobot posted:54° 40' or fight! That was the first thing I had thought of before thinking of the Mexican land borders. Oregon is a bit too far north, but that's the way we thought it should have been. I love the Pax Americana seeping from this. The US claims all of the islands in the Pacific, save the Galapagos, takes away Azores, Canary, and Cape Verde from the United Africans, annexes Iceland, and gives over the Falklands to South America. Britain gets Madagascar, Australia, and Indonesia a half a world away but continues to maintain a military presence in the newly-formed demilitarized Africa Union, thus invalidating the decolonization. And, ho-ho-ho, look at the major geopolitical gently caress-up whoever made this map made: Iran is a soviet socialist republic while the Arabian Federated Republics are an independent demilitarized union, with the only military base being in the Gulf of Aden. Think about that for the moment, especially how the Hormuz Strait comes into play. The U.S.S.R. would have pretty much complete control of 90% of the world's oil production, not just within it, but bullying the Arabs for it.

Wow, Malaya and Thailand become part of China, and the Commonwealth swallows Indonesia. And Palestine becomes "Hebrewland", it's quite hilarious. Also Greece has its own federal republic and Turkey is its own independent nation. Two tiny states sandwiched between the USSR and the Western alliance, gee I wonder if some president might try to butt his head in.

Young Freud posted:Where is this from, besides Russia? It is from a Mikhail Yuryev's book, The Third Empire. In it he predicts that a Third Russian Empire, the first two being Tsarist Russia and the Soviet Union, will arise by 2015. Following this, Russia will reclaim its Baltic territories and defeat the United States in the ensuing thermonuclear war. By 2025 Russia will own most of Europe, destroy the Vatican and force the Pope into hiding in Latin America. Mikhail Yuryev is the former chairman of Russia's Council on Economy and Entrepreneurship and has served as Deputy Speaker of the Duma. He is an ultranationalist who believes Russia must reclaim its former glory, reassert its status as an Orthodox nation, and destroy all those who seek to oppose Russian interests. He left government a while back but still has friends within the Duma and Putin's Cabinet. quote:“Russia is a great state and must remain as such. This means that our existence as Russians inside Russia, not as nationals of a different country living in this country, however affluent and free it may be, is a value of the highest order.”

Here's a pretty neat site I found. You can click on a state and it'll show what tribes originally lived there, and a little bit about what happened to them since the Removals of the 1800s. For example:  The Cherokee and Yuchi were pushed all the way to Oklahoma. http://www.native-languages.org/states.htm

LP97S posted:One of my favorites, the Belgian enclave of Baarle-Nassua which is in the Nertherlands. One of my great-great-(great?)-grandfathers was from Derby Line, not sure which side of the border. If you notice on the left side of the map, the border goes right down the center of Canusa Road. If you live on the south side of the street, your house in in the US, but if you take a left turn out of your driveway, you're in Canada.

I think the missing world is "march". As in, "you don't need to know where we're going. You job is just to march."

I don't know if you'd be able to buy prints of it, but it seems unlikely and probably wouldn't save you very much money vs. an original. Here's the British version of the border:  Wow, they even include Golan Heights. That's some chutzpah. Edit: Irredentist stamps.
