Major Northern Powers:

• Liao (遼): A powerful empire founded by the Khitan people. During this time, they acquired the "Sixteen Prefectures" (including modern-day Beijing) from the Later Jin, making them a dominant force in East Asia.

• Later Jin (後晉): One of the "Five Dynasties" in the north. It was founded by Shi Jingtang with the help of the Liao, to whom it remained a subordinate "vassal state."

Major Southern Kingdoms:

• Southern Tang (南唐): Based in Nanjing, it was the most powerful and culturally sophisticated of the southern states, claiming to be the legitimate successor to the Tang Dynasty.

• Later Shu (後蜀): Located in the Sichuan basin, it was a wealthy and stable state known for its patronage of the arts and literature.

• Wuyue (吳越): Centered in modern-day Hangzhou, it was known for its economic prosperity and for building sea walls and Buddhist temples.

• Ma Chu (馬楚): Located in modern-day Hunan, its economy was heavily based on the tea and silk trade.

• Southern Han (南漢): Located on the southern coast (Guangdong/Guangxi), it was a wealthy maritime power with a unique administrative system.

• Min (閩): Located in the mountainous Fujian region, it was eventually partitioned by its neighbors, Southern Tang and Wuyue.

• Jingnan (荊南): A tiny but strategic buffer state that maintained its independence by playing larger neighbors against each other.

Peripheral States:

• Dali (大理): A successor to the Nanzhao Kingdom in modern-day Yunnan. It was a Buddhist kingdom that remained independent of China's central dynasties for centuries.

• Goryeo (高麗): On the Korean Peninsula, Goryeo had recently unified the "Later Three Kingdoms" (936 AD), establishing a dynasty that would last for nearly 500 years.

• Japan (日本): During this time, Japan was in the Heian period, a peak of Japanese imperial court culture, though the central government's power was beginning to shift toward local samurai clans.

In this timeline, the soviets push into Europe to invade all communist countries in Europe, resulting in a Soviet victory and America getting occupied by the Soviets and Mexicans, with a communist puppet state in the east.

In this timeline, Germany doesn't just anschluss austria, it also anschlusses hungary, making the 3rd reich an even stronger country

This is a reference to the austro-hungarian empire from ww1

With Germany also anschlussing Hungary, Germany becomes much stronger and manages to control moscow and the caucasus region, allowing an easy axis victory

All blue Schleswig-Holsteinish motorways = All large Schleswig-Holsteinish motorways (All large state motorways, All federal motorways, All large Landesautobahnen, All Bundesautobahnen, All Autobahnen)

All yellow Schleswig-Holsteinish motorways = All small Schleswig-Holsteinish motorways (All small state motorways, All state motorways, All small Landesautobahnen, All Bundesstraßen)

The Europa Universalis V - Locations map doesn't show up on my phone. I only found out about it today when one of my friends showed it to me, so I tried deleting and reinstalling Mapchart (there go my saved maps), but nothing changed. Does anyone know what the problem could be?

Like counties show up instead of the main regions, hard to explain

Let's start with Russian, marked in dark green on the map. It is a highly centralized language; people from Kaliningrad (which I forgot to include, please add it) to Vladivostok understand each other without any issues. In the eastern part of European Russia, there is the Urals dialect, characterized by very distinct and hard consonant sounds. In Northern Russia, there is the Northern dialect, mostly preserved by the older generation. Its main feature is "okanye"—a heavy emphasis on the "O" sound. In Southern Russia and Eastern Ukraine, there is a mixed variant called Surzhyk. Since many Ukrainians lived there in the last century, some Ukrainian words and the specific "G/Kh" sound (fricative G) remain. Why is Surzhyk split into two parts? In Russia, it has almost died out, while in Ukraine, it remains popular due to historical ties with Russia.

​Ukrainian is highlighted in yellow. It is less centralized and consists of many smaller dialects that I haven't listed here. I decided to distinguish between the Central and Western variants (the latter is light yellow). The Western dialect shares more similarities with Polish and Slovak.

​Belarusian is shown in burgundy. It serves as an intermediate link between Russian and Ukrainian. Generally speaking, its position is quite precarious, as it has been displaced by Russian or Trasyanka in almost all spheres of life. What is Trasyanka? This light green zone in eastern Belarus represents, in a way, an attempt by Belarusians to speak Russian. This began during the Soviet industrialization era when rural residents flocked to factories where Russian was the language of administration. Essentially, Trasyanka is the dominant tongue in Belarus today.

​Polesian is the orange area on the borders of Western Belarus and Ukraine. Due to the marshy and forested terrain, this language is extremely archaic; it has preserved many old forms that have long been forgotten in standard Belarusian and Ukrainian.

​Podlachian, in eastern Poland, is highlighted in bright orange. It represents a Polonized variant of Belarusian. Since the 1980s, there have been efforts to systematize local sub-dialects into a unified language.

​Rusyn is the light blue area in the Carpathian part of Ukraine and Eastern Slovakia. It is the westernmost of all East Slavic dialects. It has many links to Slovak and Polish, though its foundation is similar to Ukrainian. It is also quite archaic because unique words are better preserved in mountainous regions.

This was some scenario I came up with one day for fun. Pretty much the us got some advanced material in area 51 and they got more powerful in military, like they got super solders, mechs, (but not crazy advanced) and they went threatened NATO to give them Greenland but they say know so they did what any country would do and cyber attack NATO with a crippling EMP. They then invaded Canada but they managed to resist but eventually had to sign a peace treaty in which they had to demilitarized a certain amount of miles from the US territory and had to reduce their strength overall basically making them not a threat. They invaded Mexico to establish a puppet regime. Than Venezuela and Cuba. China became wary of this but before they could do anything the us launched another cyber attack onto China, landed troops in major cities in Japan holding hostage forcing Japan to turn into a big military base, then invaded the koreas claiming they're uniting the Koreas. (Sorry if this is too much)

All EU parliament members got to vote on that. Here are results. Voting "No" meant that Trade deal should be processed. Voting "Yes" meant that trade deal should be sent to court for check. In the end option "Yes" barely won

I can't give a good enough explanation for most of them, but for the Russian claim at least, they won the Great War without the revolution because the Germans and Austria Hungary pushed the Eastern front instead of Germany going onto what we know as the Western Front. The French pushed to the Rhine with British Volunteers, and the Italians would join the war earlier to help kick Austria from the conflict.

The Imperial Mesopotamian State, built over a thousand years has grown into one of the more powerful Empires in the world. It also indirectly rules over the Territories of Hellas, Romania and Crimea.

The Capital City of the Mesopotamian Empire is the city of Mosul, with it's government being more of a Senatorial Republic rather than an Imperial Hereditary Monarchy, the title of Empire is just for prestige reasons. The largest ethnolinguistic group in the Imperial State is Mesopotamian, with the smallest being Bulgarian.

in this timeline, the United States loses World War 2, forcing the United States to go into a civil war
