Alternative Earth Map

[trexmaster]

Somehow this reminds me of Orwell. Oh, the triad of world powers, of course.

You are not the only commenter to compare my alternative Earth to Orwell's 1984. In fact, on every forum I've posted this map on, at least one poster says it reminds him of Orwell.

Here's a revamped version of my alternative Earth, this time without any gray "uncolonized areas" (I thought it didn't make sense for any part of the world to remain conquered given how powerful each of the three superpowers is).

I could see it going either way. You might consider some autonomous areas within the superpowers ... places that almost aren't worth being claimed, or that have somehow won some partial independence.

Hey wait, I thought you said this world was not of your own making? Are you taking liberties?

Sticking with the Orwell thing (as I am a big fan of him and 1984 in particular) you could leave some areas grey as "contested areas". For those that haven't read the book, certain areas (resource rich, population heavy areas such as the Indian sub-continent, most of Africa, and South America) constantly traded hands as the three superpowers waxed and waned.

Bit of a spoiler there.

Whoops, you're right. I don't think about spoilers for older stuff. I'll see if I can edit my older post to hide it.

[edit]Hmmm. Doesn't seem to be a spoiler tag or any background color that will hide it. I removed the line.[/edit]

Nice, really. But you should add Norway and Sweden to the allies, seems to me.
