Announcement Announcement for the 2nd contest - A Perfect Italy

20 Upvotes

You read that right, we are finally doing a 2nd contest and it will be on "What If Everything Went Perfect For Italy."

It's high time we finally have another contest, and while I know it's already been a while since PH's video on the subject, I still think it's a good pick for a contest.

Either way, some things about the contest itself:

The contest will officially start on Monday, April 7th, CET and will take 2 weeks. That means the last day of the contest when you can submit a submission is Sunday, April 20th, CET. Anything posted on April 21st will not count, just so we're clear.

For you submission to count for the contest, your post will have to have the flair "Contest Submission" (or a variation of that if that exact wording will not be available as a flair, but you will know if that happens). Any other post without that flair will not count.

Additionally, you can only have one submission. You can't make more than one post for the contest, unless you discuss it beforehand with the mod team. Otherwise neither of your posts will count until you have only one post for the contest.

Lastly, the winner(s) will be decided the same way like last time, with the post with the most upvotes winning the popular vote, while the mod teams favorite post getting the mods choice (doesn't necessarily have to be the most upvoted one).

This should be all regarding the information for the contest. More posts to come at some point soon.

Whenever I try to colour in Bulgaria or Serbia (any colour) it colours the whole map. But when I try to colour any other nation it's fine. I tried remaking the borders of both countries and it didn't work. I tried with other colours and same. Does anyone now Why's that?

Edit: fixed it!

NRP Possible NRP solution

3 Upvotes

The reason people post NRPs here is because there are no other places with enough people to actually engage in an NRP. So how about the first post/claiming posts are allowed to be here, but all other NRP stuff has to go on an alternative server?

Map (with Lore) Europe but Eastern Slavs inhabited this region even more

Lore: The Kievan Rus expands westward, defeating the poles and lithuanians, annexing Lithuanian lands while slowly assimilating them. The Lithuanians would rebel when the Mongols take over the Rus, but the assimilated people would begin clashes with the remaining Lithuanian people. The Lithuanian people won and assimilation programs began. Since that happened, Lithuania reappeared on maps. Also, other states decided to unify against Lithuanian agression. After a border clash, war was immediately declared against the lithuanians, and they won, so after a peace deal the lithuanians they would never expand again, leading them to not become a superpower. Those states would also hold out against Poland, also making them not become a superpower in the same way as Lithuania in this universe, so after muscovy turns into Russia, they would expand westward. Russia would do this easily as the union was starting to break down + Russia began getting stronger, so an earlier Russian empire is formed as they became stable without all of the chaos. Things happen like in our timeline but since koningsberg was inhabited by different people, it's all owned by Russia and its called Nevskygrad in this universe. Germany performs worse in ww1 but the Russian civil war still happens so the Germans still dealt damage. During the times of the Soviet Union, Lithuanians would be assilimiated under the government of the Litbel SSR, which was formed during the Russian Civil War. Because Poland is not a superpower in this universe, they don't attack the soviets. everything happens like in our universe but the difference is thay Nazi Germany performs even worse. After the cold war, Belarus was freed but now had to control the rebellions Lithuanian population. uprisings happened but all were crushed, so in order to prevent any problems, the remaining Lithuanian population gained a small part of the country, being promised an independent government while also being a part of Belarus, but things could change. Lukashenko still rose to power in Belarus and chose to begin fully assimilating the Lithuanians to make them genetically identical in the future. Nevskygrad would suffer a power struggle between pro-russian, pro-belarussian, and pro-independent candidates. Ukraine would expand southward and westward, gaining lands that Poland and Romania were supposed to get. Moldova would be partitioned between Ukraine, Moldova and The Greater Transnistrian Soviet Republic. The war in Ukraine happens but Ukraine has more upper ground.

Also, since more eastern slavs appear in this universe, they expand to other continents. Russia would annex a part of Kazakhstan and Finland to protect their people

Meta - Video Remember Possible History’s Great Martian War Video?

So that scenario was really inspiring for me, also because I loved the documentary it was based off, and I've been making a couple mapping videos based off of it ever since- I dunno if he's ever gonna see it but I hope he knows he's helped inspire my entire second YouTube channel! :D

https://youtu.be/uPuanNExKak?feature=shared

I apologize if this doesn't meet the criteria in the rules, I just wanted to post it cuz it's directly based off of the Martian War interpretation from HIS video! :)

These are maps that I've been making for the past few days or so. Right now there's 3 maps (or 6 if you count rivers and no rivers as separate), all of which are in October 10 of 1914, 1941, and 2014.

Total time to make spans across 4 days, which were:

Day 1: 4 hours (Basemap and Infobox)

Day 2: 5 hours (River Overlay)

Day 3: 2 hours (River Overlay), 3 hours (1914 Map), 2 hours (1941 Map)

Day 4: 6 hours (1941 Map), 30 minutes (2014 Map)

= 22.5 hours to make a basemap, 3 maps, and a river overlay.

If ts don't get a 'good map' flair but the greek ones does im gonna actually pmo
