First version of a map I've made for a homebrew DnD setting:
The World in 1537, 300th Anniversary of the construction of the Suez Canal.
Striped regions are nominally part of a larger state, but are mostly controlled by small, autonomous local authorities.
Countries with red striping are nominally polities of the Persian Empire, but in reality are entirely autonomous.
Regions in Grey have little to no central government.
Regions in Black have yet to be discovered.
(Posting information on countries soon)

Here's Part I of my Map Series
The first is from 1914: The Start of the First World War (PoD is from the 1860s or so). . . .
Notable Differences (aside from the obvious); still unfinished
-Mexico is still run by Emperor Maximilian I, despite the presence of republican rebels.
-Portugal, despite the Pink Map's fruition, could not avoid the republican revolution in 1911.
-France is run under a Legitimist king (with an authoritarian regime to boot)
Alliance System
Triple Entente - the UK, Russia, and Germany (The U.S. and Spain joined later)
Central Powers - France, Austria-Hungary, and the Ottoman Empire

I added the alliance system on my previous post.
Please note it only refers to major players.
What's going on in Italy? How about the Balkan countries, Japan, and China? (I assume China will be a co-belligerent on the Central side, correct me if wrong.) Who is in control in Spain?
A Weimar Germany JFK...
Gorgeous as usual
Minor nitpick: I think you meant 'emergency decrees' and not 'emergency degrees'.
If you're willing to unveil a little more, I'd like to know the PoD

Italy is still OTL, a neutral member of the Triple Alliance (but later joined the Allies
The Balkans is still like OTL (though Bosnia is part of Serbia. The trigger for WWI was a Romanian nationalist in Transylvania shooting the Archduke while he was traveling in Cluj.
China remaied neutral, but Japan joined the Entente/Allies.
It's ruled under a Hohenzollern (who even married a Spanish Bourbon). Spain at first remained neutral, but then joined the Entente soon afterwards. But, as you'll see in the next map, it would push Spain to the point of revolution.
Is the Triple Alliance the Triple Entente or the Central Powers?
Nice way of shaking up things a bit while staying familiar.
Got ot
What caused them to join?
Actually, skip that question if you already plan on answering it in the next post.
Finally, I'd like to suggest you putting it in the Map Series thread as well as this one. It would be nice if we could get that thread, as well as the ASB and Future map thread to be used more often.
Thanks; I wasn't sure if it was the same as the OTL Triple Alliance with a POD that far back.
My First Map
And now for my first map on this forum. But first, an explanation of my alternate history.
The upcoming map will be of Timeline 55, my alternate history in which Skylab, the United States' first space station, was launched earlier than in OTL and its fate was rather catastrophic in TTL than the simple abandonment and eventual re-entry in OTL. TL-55 will turn out to be both an Ameriscrew and a Ameriwank. How it is both- the United States does screw itself over (secession is a key factor in TTL, although the US isn't the only country affected by it), but will succeed in "making the world safe for democracy." The POD is April 21, 1970. My idea for TL-55 was inspired by an essay on leadership by Margaret J. Wheatley that I read back when I was still in high school. You can read her essay at http://www.margaretwheatley.com/articles/leadershiplessons.html
This map is of the current Timeline 55 world as of 01/01/2013. It's mostly just like OTL.
Notable Differences:
- There is a Confederate States of America. However, it is not the original Confederacy that seceded back in 1861. The Confederacy was re-established in 2005 and it earned its indepedence from the U.S. in 2009. The nation will be a pivotal figure in TTL.
- Alaska, Hawaii and Puerto Rico too are independent nations as of 2009.
- Morocco has soverignty over Western Sahara as of 2011, however, only some countries (including the U.S. and C.S.) recognize Morocco's control.
As for TL-55, I should have the first five chapters completed by June. I still have a lot of work to do for the timeline itself.
Feel free to ask any questions, give comments, etc.

Part II of my Map Series
Year: 1917
Three years of war have passed, and things are still at a stalemate. Spain and Russia are revolution after being overrun by France and Austria respectively. While Russia is still in its bloodbath, Baron von Ungern-Sternberg crossed the Siberian frontier and asserted Mongolia's independence.
Meanwhile, a brutal war began in South America in 1915, over Ecuador's Amazonian claims. Peru, Argentina, Uruguay, Venezuela, and Bolivia fought Brazil, Chile, Colombia, and Ecuador, as the conflict spiraled out of control.
The Mexican Empire meanwhile, was able to rein in the rebels in the north, but the Revolution still drags on.

All of the maps you've done like this…
I want to touch it. I want to reach out and feel it between my fingers. Delicious actual paper feeling.
THAT'S how good they are.
