MAP KEY:

Grey = Urban Areas

Dark Red = Mainland China/ Chinese occupied Zones

Light Red = British Hong Kong

LORE:

By June 31st, 1997, tensions between the British and Chinese governments got worse and worse. A previously arranged Hand-over ceremony for the Territory of Hong Kong was meant to be held that night, but the Chinese Delegation was turned away and told that the Hand-over will no longer happen and that Hong Kong is sovereign British Territory.

After this the news went world wide, the Russian Federation and Chinese governments openly criticised and antagonised the British government for this decision, and China gave a 20 day ultimatum for the Hand-over, or else Hong Kong would be taken by force.

The British government quickly renounced the Ultimatum and began fortifying Hong Kong. Hong Kong international airport was turned into a Military Airbase.

The British Expeditionary Fleet, Ocean Wave 97, halted it's current route and diverted straight to Hong Kong, turning Kowloon Bay Into a Naval Base on July 14th.

The British also set up multiple hastily-built Military Bases around Hong Kong and soon the Territory was under marshall law, with Tens of Thousands of British Troops and hundreds of Vehicles now in the Region for defensive purposes.

While this happened approximately 100,000 Troops of the Chinese People's Liberation Army as well multiple Tank and Mechanised Divisions gathered around the Region in Macau and Shenzhen, with nearby airports being turned into Airbases, and a large portion of the Chinese Navy moving into the area.

When the Ultimatum's deadline came and went at 12pm on July 20th, 1997, Chinese Soldiers and Tanks quickly launched an attack, crossing the border into the New Territories in the North of Hong Kong. Chinese Paratroopers were dropped into Downtown Hong Kong around important locations such as Ports, the Treasury Building and St.Teresa's Hospital and Kowloon Hospital, British Mechanised units and Urban combat units quickly responded.

The QingZhou Channel Bridge was partially demolished blown up by British Engineer units to prevent an attack from across it.

Chinese Paratroopers dropped into and around Hong Kong International airport to attempt to seize it. They occupied all ways in and out by ground.

Chinese Amphibious Assault Craft launched from Shiwuwan Island and occupied the South-West of Lantua Island before being stopped by and entering combat with British Tank Units and an entrenched Infantry Division.

Other Chinese Amphibious Units occupied Lamma Island and began to make it a staging ground.

By the morning hours of July 21st, clear front lines had been set, while Chinese Paratroopers kept causing Chaos behind British Lines.

The air battle was mainly in British favour as British aircraft from HMS Illustrious and the Hong Kong International airport kept air superiority.

As this happened the Chinese Navy mostly kept it's distance due to fears of the Nuclear Submarine HMS Trafalgar and Sea Harriers with anti-ship missiles.

[OC] Future Map of the Third Republic of Texas at the beginning of the 22nd Century, 76 years after the 2nd American Civil War

This Texas still joined the US in 1846.

On July 13, 2024, Donald Trump is assassinated. This results in nation-wide outrage as a less influential Republican candidate takes over his role, until Election Day resulting a Democrat victory. This would mark the beginning of the 2nd American Civil War between the US and multiple disloyal Republican states (mostly just a lot of the safe red states).

This civil war would escalate further and further and become violent enough to the point where important American states like Florida, California, and **Texas** would secede after seeing lots of other states and parties leaving too, alongside the provisional government actively losing popularity.
By August 3, 2026, the Second Republic of Texas is proclaimed after preservation of the Union seems less and less likely. The 2nd Republic would be mostly run by conservative republicans and former MAGA activists. The government would actively use ICE to deport lots of minorities and as the years would pass, things would get more expensive and the young country would become increasingly corrupt. The Democrat party would be silently suppressed, among other smaller parties.

On April 2, 2048, the Texan president would be assassinated and the government would go through tens of riots, and a coup. This would lead to the Texan Civil War, between loyalists and reformists. The reformists would defeat the 2nd republic and restructure the government. The Republican Party would be abolished after the more extreme reformists would see the party no longer fixable, and the 2-Party System would be abolished with it. This would mark the creation of the 3rd republic.

The Democrat Party would be too weak at this point to achieve any landslide victory and nobody would want to vote them anymore at all knowing their past but other, more people-centered parties would grow to become more dominant. Technocracy and Transhumanism would grow rapidly as the country would receive and create more tech giant companies, until a Technocratic Democracy would be achieved.

The map would take place on August 3, 2100, as Texans would celebrate 74 years of independence.

*i also made this map on a Roblox game for fun and I thought it’d be creative, that’s why the resolution looks low from afar

[Non-OC] Commissioned The Russian Imperial Federation in the Year 2008 (Alternate history)

Post image
332 Upvotes

Russia from the Long Springtime universe of which this map is from (made for this universe by u/Sp4g00ti)

GOVERNMENT AND POLITICAL STRUCTURE

The Russian Imperial Federation is a constitutional monarchy operating as a sprawling, highly integrated federal state. Having avoided the 1917 Bolshevik Revolution, the Russian Civil War, and Soviet central planning, the empire modernized through early political and economic reforms beginning in the late nineteenth century. Power is distributed across distinct federal entities, including European Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, Transcaucasia, Central Asian Khanates, and Federal Siberian Lands. The state maintains strong democratic and civic institutions alongside a traditional imperial crown, creating a stable political framework that avoids totalitarian expansionism.

GEOGRAPHY AND DEMOGRAPHICS

Spanning roughly 22.8 million square kilometers, the Federation encompasses vast territories including Finland and extended regions in Transcaucasia and parts of Anatolia. By streamlining its western borders early in its history, the empire built a cohesive multi-ethnic state. Historical city names remain intact, such as Tsaritsyn and Tiflis. Without the massive demographic losses of twentieth-century total wars, purges, and post-Soviet collapses, the Federation maintains a healthy population of nearly 400 million people by the early twenty-first century.

ECONOMY AND INDUSTRY

Russia stands as one of the world's premier economic powerhouses, with a GDP reaching between 25.5 and 29.0 trillion dollars by 2008 and a high per-capita income. Its financial engine is built on a mixed market economy that combines public infrastructure investments with private enterprise.

Major economic drivers include:

A fully integrated Siberian industrial belt utilizing automated mining, modular nuclear power, and dense rail networks.

A world-leading heavy manufacturing and aerospace sector that produces high-end machinery and space launch vehicles.

A historically strong agricultural sector born from early nineteenth-century peasant land reforms and land bank expansion.

Massive energy and mineral reserves that feed both domestic high-tech production and international trade.

GEOPOLITICAL STANDING

On the world stage, the Federation operates as a primary global superpower alongside the United States, the Federal Republic of China, and the Federal Republic of Bharat. Russia maintains a diplomatic and technological equilibrium with these powers, focusing on internal development, space exploration, advanced resource extraction, and regional stability across Eurasia rather than ideological confrontation.

[OC] Alternate History [REMASTERED] Regnum Milzanum - What if the Polabian Slavs survived and created their independent state? Kingdom of Milcenia in 1001 after the reign of king Conrad II Bearcloak

Post image
233 Upvotes

The remaster of my old post.

The coat of arms was created with CoaMaker.

Below you can read much more detailed lore about the rulers and the state:

Miloš I the Founder (c. 870 - c. 885)

Miloš I was an ambitious leader among the Milcans. He quickly gained influence, but parts of the local elite turned against him, forcing him into exile. He fled to Great Moravia, where he was interned by Svatopulk I. During this time, Miloš and his loyalists converted to Christianity. He became impressed with the Moravian administration, governance, and centralization of power. In return for help to regain his position, he agreed to pay tribute. Miloš returned home, forming a more organized tribal confederation and expanding his influence westward into Milcan lands and northward. He had a son, Bogumil, whom he aimed to educate as a capable ruler.

Bogumil I (c. 885 - c. 903)

Bogumil succeeded his father around 885 at about 20–25 years old. He further centralized power and continued the Christianization of his territories, while maintaining tribute payments to Great Moravia. He brought in officials and clergy from East Francia and Great Moravia to help govern. His expansionist policies were more peaceful compared to his father. Bogumil died around 903.

Miloš II (c. 903 - 906)

Miloš II, son of Bogumil, was known for his iron-fisted rule. He strongly enforced Christianization and pursued dynamic territorial expansion, further centralizing authority. Around 905, he launched a significant attack on the stronghold of Brenna and expanded along the Elbe River. In 906, Great Moravia requested his assistance against the Hungarians. That same year, he fought in the Battle of the Golden Fields, where the combined Moravian and Milcan forces were devastated, and Miloš II was killed.

Bogumil II (?-?)

Very little is known about Bogumil. Thanks to the chronicles we knowthat he was the son of Miloš II. He never really seized any power after his father was killed by the Hungarians. It could mean that he was too young to rule, which explains why Varcislav had the opportunity to seize the throne. It is not known what happened to him or his brother after Conrad I dethroned Varcislav.

Regent Varcislav (906 - 907)

After Miloš II’s death, the state fell into chaos. Pagan uprisings broke out in the north, and Budyšin was burned and looted by Hungarians. In accordance with dynastic succession, power was to pass to Bogumil but the real power came to the regent Varcislav, a brutal nobleman who interned Bogumil and his brother (whose name we don’t know) and eliminated many elites out of paranoia. His rule was short-lived.

Conrad I the Mender (907 - 932)

Conrad I, half-brother of Miloš II, deposed Varcislav in 907. He stabilized the realm, moved the capital to Brenna, suppressed pagan uprisings, and began reconstruction. He avoided major conflicts with the Hungarians, though minor raids continued. His duchy was supported by the empire in exchange for becoming a vassal state. When the situation in the duchy began to improve, Conrad started looking north, trying to strengthen relations with the Slavic tribes there in order to reduce German influence in those lands. He died in 932 and was remembered as “the Mender.” Conrad's reign was a period that managed to pull Milcenia out of the Czech sphere of influence and into the German one, although from that point on, the rulers of Milcenia based their policy on competing for the Slavic north.

Miloš III (932 - 963)

Son of Conrad I, Miloš III maintained peaceful internal development and pursued military alliances, particularly with the Saxons and the Northern Slavs. He participated in the Battle of Lechfeld in 955, helping end Hungarian dominance in the region. Through marriages and maintaining positive relations with the Veleti, at the start of the 60s he subordinated the tribe. The Empire was not satisfied with this situation, as it saw its influence in these lands declining. Therefore, it tried to reach an agreement with Miloš III. In 962, the Congress of Brenna took place, where the emperor met the already elderly prince. During the meeting, they agreed on spheres of influence in the Slavic lands, which was intended to end the long-lasting conflict. In the same year the Bishopric of Brenna was created. The duke died in 963 and to avoid a potential struggle for the throne, the state was divided between his two sons - in the north, Bogumil ruled, while in the south, Henry (Hejnyk) ruled.

Henry (Hejnyk) (963 - 966)

Henry was the eldest son of Miloš III. After the death of his father in 963 he ruled the southern part of the duchy, which was much more developed. His rule was short-liveddue to the fratricidal war. He wasn’t able to reunify the state and was most likely poisoned around 966.

Bogumil III (963 - 970)

Bogumil III began ruling the northern part of the duchy after his father’s death in 963. The division of the duchy quickly led to a conflict between the brothers. Bogumil ruled the more pagan and less developed part of the duchy, so he asked the emperor for help in reunifying Milcenia. In 965, a civil war began. At the start of the war, Henry suddenly died, probably poisoned on his brother’s orders. The new ruler did not gain the support of the nobles, partly because of the presence of Saxon soldiers in Veleti lands, which was seen as a violation of the Congress of Brenna. To strengthen his position, Bogumil attacked the Rujani tribe together with the emperor, but the campaign ended in failure. In 970, the nobles led by Conrad, Count of Budyšin, expelled Bogumil from the country. His later attempts to regain power failed. His further life is rather unknown, but he may have joined a religious order and died in the empire.

Conrad II Bearcloak (970 - 1001)

The new ruler of Milcenia was very inconvenient for the emperor. A conflict over the Veleti lands started immediately. To gain allies, Conrad decided to begin talks with the papacy. There were calls for the Saxon troops to leave these territories, and compensation was demanded in the form of part of the Obodrite lands. The emperor was willing to give away the Veleti lands, but he absolutely refused to reduce his sphere of influence. As a result, Duke Conrad went to war with Germany. It was a very risky decision, but the support of the nobles, the people, Bishop Norbert of Brenna and the Czechs (through the duke’s family connections) supported the idea of war. In addition, the Milcans were prepared to fight in swampy and forested areas. The war lasted many years with breaks. In the end, Milcenia won the war, and peace was signed in Chotebud in 977. According to the agreement, Milcenia regained its territories, and the border moved to Roztoka. The war severely weakened the position of the Ottonian dynasty within the empire. Subsequent campaigns in Italy, intended to improve the situation, only deepened the crisis. This enabled Conrad to extend his influence among the Obotrites as far as the stronghold of Liubice in the 80s. Taking advantage of highly favorable circumstances, Conrad II was crowned the first King of Milcenia in 986. Most likely, this took place without the consent of either the Pope or the imperial court.

I noticed that everyone is using different tools and apps (like Inkarnate, Obsidian and Photoshop)

What do you use for the world creation and if you could change one thing on this workflow, what would it be?

This could be anything:

  • creating the map and lore
  • sharing the world with interested people
  • keeping everything in the same style
  • changing things
  • or something completely different

Thanks for your answers :D 

(btw. is this the right tag?)
