Why do Manchuria and North Korea integrate, but not Xinjiang? Or Outer Mongolia? Otherwise, excellent map!

I know that Gaul was very important, largly due to it's vast swathes of fertile land. However the Germanic tribes occupying it are very well dug in after their many decades of integration into the local population and generally benevolent rule. Also the legions aren't really up to much anymore, many of them followed General Aetius and other commanders to the Barbarian kingdoms and those left are small, ill-disciplined and decaying. Plus, the Emperor of the time pulled a Theodosius II and bought of the more threatening ones, so they're at peace and don't want that to change.
The Western reconquista of Greece and Judea was at the request of the Eastern Emperor in Exile, who thought his western bretheran could reconquer the whole damn eastern empire. They obviously couldn't, so have basically taken a few token regions. It's also a prestige thing, I mean what self respecting roman would want to see Athens, Alexandria or Jerusalem in the hands of godless savages?
Thanks by the way.
This is a rather implausible, but fun map where ALBA (Alianza Bolivariana para los Pueblos de Nuestra América, or Bolivarian Alliance for the Peoples of Our America) becomes a political union, expands its membership, and then Hugo Chavez goes even more apeshit crazy, and then proceeds to invade everybody that has pissed of ALBA;s members. This shows the opening shots of an eventually curbstompy war. I'll be posting the aftermath later. Enjoy!
It actually makes some sense, I mean who would actualy think they'd be insane enough to not only invade their neighbors, but the U.S. itself, their would definately be a period of time where people are just collectively shocked.
Probably that's what it will take to get Britain to make peace with Germany et al, and acknowledge Germany's ambitions in Africa. Maybe...just maybe they can convince Britain (and through them, Australia) to let Berlin buy German New Guinea back. Seems a stretch, though. Germany may be able to get her pacific possessions back from the Japs through a decisive naval war.
?Perhaps the Czar would allow a German army to be transported to the Far East via the Transiberian Railway? Wow, actually that sounds like a fun timeline
On a different theme, Berlin "recognizes" Japan's ownership of the Marianas, etc, when Japan offers a bag of money and gives back Tsingtao.

Looks cool, but why would Romania and Yugoslavia have split? Or are those divisions their internal borders?

A mix of "Made it up as I went along," persistent ASB Brit-Wanking, and "Do whatever the hell I want." I had no POD in mind for this, but do have a little idea of what's going on;
- Britain and Russia are in a cold war.
- The USA and Mexico are in a regional cold war.
- Constant social breakdown renders the African Nations, or the European Nations in charge of slices of Africa, Unable to hold on to territory in the Sahara. Escalating tensions in said area.
It's my first map on this thread, and I mainly went for aesthetically pleasing borders rather than plausability. I would love some feedback please!

Because the U.B.S.R. formed directly out of the collapse of Austro-Hungarian and Ottoman Empires following the Belgrade Uprising and Balkans Revolution. What we'd call Yugoslavia was divided between the two. Romania was not independent before hand, and Wallachia and Moldova were Ottoman provinces (or whatever the Turks called their states).

Well, you certainly wanked Greece, Venice, Romania, and Italy.
I like your lack of OTL in North America, Europe, and South East Asia, it makes things look interesting. My only problems are what happened with the US
and the Caliphate that united Shia and Sunni.Here we got a map of Carribean colonialisation. Yellow dots are major settlements and brown are forts. It isent really done it but some comments would be nice
You can proberly gues the colonial empires by the name of the colonies. The striped are is a contested area between Spain and England. In a twist of irony the spanish fort in the contested area is named New Gibraltar.
War is brewing between the nations. France and Portugal will most likely side with Spain. NL is leaning to supporting England. Sweden is most aligned with England but if Sweden goes to war with France and Spain her colonies are at risk. The New World Trading Republic will most likely take a neutral stance, assuring safe passage for its trading fleet. If the colonial powers are thrown into a war the free buccaner port might become consolidated and perhaps even form a nation.
NOTE: It is not done yet

That's a cool map, but how could there really be a "kingdom of Bosnia" when, presumably, during this period of history there would only be Croats and Serbs living there (I don't have any idea which would be the majority), seeing as how the "Bosniaks" (ie, muslim inhabitants) only came later on?
