Like @WheelyWheelyLegsNoFeely said the thick borders are jarring but I think most of the mappers on this forum (at least many, myself included) probably have made the same mistake, it's just part of the learning process with Worlda maps.
Indeed but also more intriguing, what the heck is all the grey?Interesting. Making the map easier to see made it more confusing.
Yes, since France is occupied (and most likely won't be back for another few decades due to the Cold War) Iberia (which is just really Spain and their 2 pimps in Portugal) occupies this land.
No, that's the North Russian Free State - a joint occupation of various European Powers, mostly Western ones. Norway is, however, one of them, even if their contribution is mostly symbolic - a few token brigades of volounteers and a handful of outdated planes.
How goes this suzerainty? Better than the French or are the Iberians a new breed of the same thing?
Depends. Lybia has limited self-governance, Tunesia and Algeria are slightly better off, as while French colonization was replaced by Iberian colonization the Iberians have begun an active campaign to improve the lives of locals (More schooling, Infrastructure Expansion etc.). Meanwhile Morroco is being activly and brutaly ,,Iberianized" with stragglers thrown south into the now-anarchic Sahara.
Neutral countries, from the key. I thought it was weird that rump Prussia owned Tunisia until I realized it was just shading for countries that didn’t matter to either the global stage or to a particular world conflict.
Yeah. Also fun fact: I have not read green antarctica, because if i am traumatized by a smoke alarm going off cuz of a broken wire, i will die of fear if i actually read what i have heard about Green antarctica.
The borders don't make much sense. You should consider taking into account geographic features like mountains, ecosystems, and drainage basins when constructing borders, as well as roads or routes of migration when constructing possible polities.
I tried to make ,,Peru" a sort of Traders' Republic that follows the Amazon, but yeah I guess you have a point with everything else.
That's fine but it begs the question of exactly what is being traded with whom and why the river is helpful to that end. It also begs the question of how this Peruvian society (who are they?) traversed the Andes and found themselves in the best position to conquer/expand downriver as opposed to other polities and peoples in the Amazon basin. That then begs further questions about what their society is like (is power centered on the eastern or western side of the Andes?) how their economy is built (is this a terra preta society? Do they grow quinoa? Is river power utilized for mills and such?) what their culture is like (is there any form of common religion or worship? How similar are they to OTL societies?) and so on and so forth. The more you consider these sorts of questions, sensible boundaries and political structures in any given scenario will start to become more obvious.
My man, while I love seeing people being enthusiastic about maps, you are borderline spamming the thread. I'd suggest you wait a bit between posts and then make one big post every few days compiling all maps. Furthermore, I'd say that while some of your ideas are very interesting, they could benefit from a bit more time thinking the scenarios out and mapping them more thoroughly, and thus spacing out your posts could be an excellent chance to spend a bit more time on each map.
