Precipice of War - Oh Woe the West

I'd imagine that the Pan-African Empire is in a constant state of civil war, then.

Actually, that is nearly true.

I really have some questions concerning Europe:-why is Lithuania shaped so? Why does it even exist independently from the Communes?- why does Prussia possess only part of Eastern Prussia and not Silesia? And why does it possess the Sudetes territories. Also, why is Vienna under...hungarian control? And how did Hungary take over half of Slovakia?-why does Romania control Gagauzia (southern Moldavia) and northern Dobruja?-why are Croatia, Bosnia and Serbia shaped like that? It seemed they were cut with a butter knife. Croatia comprises Slovenia and misses southern Dalmatia, Bosnia has southern Dalmatia and part of Croatia, and Serbia has Albania. How did that happen?

Ask Googer.

Though I think some of that is shoddy line drawing more then anything...

Originally, I was working off of the idea that Iyasu V remained Emperor of Ethiopia thanks to German intervention. There were rumors that Iyasu (a real person, mind you) had converted to Islam. So I went from there.

In this reboot, i've decreased the presence of his religiosity and did not pass it down to his kids. But in the original, they were more Islamic. Also in the original, India invaded Arabia for no reason and Persia and Ethiopia (the origins of the Pan-African Empire) occupied their respective regions to protect them. This has been dropped in the reboot because it was silly. So why did Persia and Ethiopia invade Arabia now? I chalked it up as aggressive expansion. It isn't as rational as it could be, but those conditions still need to exist even if the original reason isn't there.

As for the nature of the Pan-African Empire... it is complicated. The difference between this world and the real one is that here we are looking at a stronger Ethiopian state and weaker post-colonial African states.

Some of it is based on events that took place during the RP. For context, the Ottoman Empire fell apart a few weeks before the time this map is based on.

As for the Caucus.... I dunno? That was Evan's business, and I left it to him.

As for Africa... i've done what I could to at least make it acceptable. Some of it is based on the events of the Great War, and some of it the peculiar circumstances colonialism created.

What can I say, i'm an artist.

We've cut down what we can and completely changed a few of the more insane things. Hopefully it will all be accessible.

We are waiting on our Asia/Russia to do things, otherwise we just have a few summaries for Europe and the Middle East to do.

AND IF ASIA DOESN'T GET TO WORK, I'LL TAKE OVER AND GIVE IT ALL TO CHIANG KAI-SHEK!

We have chunks of map. Not all of them are finished, as we still have a dude working on the east, but I can show you what we have done.











Imma note that Spain, Prussia, Armenia, the Pan-African Empire, China, and possibly both Persia and Brazil are reserved. They are claimed by people who had them in the old thread, and those people will want to pick them up.

Britain still has the Bahamas. So there is that.

The problem we are going to have is that this sounds exactly like the same speech you gave us every time you switched before. Britain and Japan has roughly the same amount of baggage.

Also, we are allowing you to erase a lot of what you did in britain. If you would prefer to get rid of the Celtic rebellion, that is you option. Really, all you have to keep is the post-war anarchy. The rest is up to you.
