DBWI - Interesting Map.

Another bit of weirdness I just realized is the British, French, Belgian, Portuguese, Italian, Dutch empires or commonwealths are not reflected on this map. The political associations seem to cut across those.
It seems that Trotsky wasn't there so succesful on conquest of Europe as in OTL. But even that not explain all these borders, speciality borders of Germany and Finland. And how Ethiopia got Eritrea and why there is unified Somalilands?
After the liberation of Europe in Africa, many bourgeois governments were in exile. It is obvious that many African countries won political independence and took an active anti-Western stance (judging by the map in Africa there are a number of states that did not declare a course for building socialism, but in allied relations with the USSR).

Why would Japan, of all countries, be allied with the US? Didn't they attack Alaska in the 30s?

Perhaps a stupid question: What is a "NATO"? Is it a country, an alliance or a confederation? It seems to cover a great deal of territory.
North American Treaty Organization, perhaps? Probably some kind of empire led by Huey Long.

Alliance of convenience, perhaps? They have lost Karafuto and everything in Manchuria, and half of Korea. However, they did retain Taiwan at the least, so they must have flipped earlier or been caught by a surprise attack.

Maybe the Soviets even attacked their fleet at Yokosuka out of nowhere, followed by invading their outer territories?

North Atlantic Treaty Organization.
Maybe Japan lost in some war with the United States and now there is a puppet government.

The borders of the Habsburg Empire are pretty weird. I mean, it controls most of the Adriatic coast, but not Austria itself?

And Hungary is like 1/3 of its real size.
 
A "North Atlantic" alliance that includes Portugal but not Spain, that includes both Greece and Turkey (ancient enemies) in the Mediterranean and all of the Italic States plus a tiny dot in Prussia but not all of the British Isles? It doesn't sound very "North Atlantic" to me. Where is this so-called alliance headquartered?

It seems that all the Balkan Slavs (with the exception of pro-Soviet Bulgaria) are united in one state. It is seen Gasburgi lost the war and their territory was divided.

Brussels, Belgium.
It is evident that the bourgeoisie of Turkey and Greece decided that socialist Russia is a far more dangerous enemy.

I suppose Italian general Antonnio di Gasburgi was pretty much single handedly holding the Habsburg empire together with his military genius, so if he lost then it could explain the "Pan-South-Slavic state".
