I do all that work on WWIII, I'm dying to get feedback :D
Sooo I'm the first one to heavily start modding ur map already :D

Announcing! Alternate Worlds!

WW 1 never happened, Austria-Hungary continued to annex bosnia-herzegovina, serbia and albania, romania, only bulgaria fell to the greek as they collaborated with Austro-Hungary and continued to grow economicly and provide a bufferzone against the Ottoman Empire that is trying hard to reform economicly. Spain and Portugal went with the treaty of unificating Iberia into a loose confederacy wich helped economic growth and autonomy of the regions in the Iberian peninsula. The USSR was officialy formed in 1918, it failed to retake Finland into the previous Imperial Russian borders. This set Finland free to later join the Baltic Union. The USSR continued to overtake all the regions back to poland but lost significant lands in the southwest to the Austro-Hungarians wich walked in and claimed the land theirs on old rights during the Anarchy in Russia's mainland. However Lenin did not die in these early days of reform, he lived on to 1935 when he was replaced by trotsky an able communist who set out to keep the USSR modernised. The USSR therefore doesn't start off in bad shape in the start of my map 1980, the world is vastly different. The Technology's are ahead of their time due to the prolonged peace and the newly formed USSR wich made prominent economic sucesses in the early days and came to be known as the second america where anything was possible.

The USSR is faced with a slight economic downturn in 1980 the start of the scenario, the country is unable to gain enough economic innovation to boost the country's performance. Radical changes in the economy must be taken to ensure it's growth for the future.

The United States of America is a powerhouse, not as strong as it was previously but outpowering the USSR a bit. It's economicly the strongest nation in the game but is faced with a heavy burdon due to it's R&D costs and military costs. In still had a panic military buildup with the USSR in the late 40 to 90. And has only cooled off since the USSR has diminished it's forces substantially and decided to revert the resources to economic buildup.

North China is in the hands of the Japanese while south china (imperial china) has problems with east china (communist china). Will they work together and fight off the japanese who want more and more land each time?

That's all for now :D

P.S
Oil is hard to get by now, in the previous map u could become self sufficient and exporting as germany! :evil: not anymore! :D

Sounds like a kick-butt world vision. Should be fun to play. It brought to mind a bit of a discrepancy between 2010 and the real world though.
The Technology's are ahead of their time due to the prolonged peace...
While I freely admit that plenty of technology is developed during (and in the case of military tech despite) peacetime, in the real world war is more often the driving force behind massive technological waves of advance. In 2010 war sucks up research money, so peacetime is indeed a great time to pump up the science. Whereas, real world, the politicians can often find much more self serving things to spend that money on if their country is not threatened.
Just an observation about 2010 vs. real world, not your scenario. I'd like to see what you've done sometime. :)

Well Europe's mostly done already, so is the USSR and United States. Been working a bit on china now. Still trying to decide what to do with africa and some of the regions wich don't seem neccesary. I've added back ''The Netherlands'' as a powervacuum between germany, france, britain, italy and the baltic union. And I didn't want the dutchies to be controlled by the french :x

Currently I can say that the USSR is a foe u don't want to meet, it has a huge stack of old warmachine's and its economy hasn't collapsed :evil: it's a mean badass. Although the country has only recently started to reform economicly and therefore shortages have risen.

I'm thinking about splicing up the United states in North and South, perhaps in a seperate East aswell by reworking the boundries in the game, I already have 2 extra free regions because the USSR consumed the islamic states and the ukraine. Or would u all rather have those remain independent nations? The Ukraine I could see as a potential breakoff faction to play as a challenge, to survive or not to survive the massive USSR vs Ukraine onslaught. :D

Baltic Union

Why is the Union between Finland, Sweden and Norway called the baltic union...?

... because it surrounds the Baltic Sea? I needed something to call it, that's what I came up with.

I take it you have a suggestion for what we should call it?

"Scandinavia" would probably be a more recognizable name. I thought the "baltic union" was Estonia and such until I read through the storyline.

Which was very good by the way. Interesting and more plausible than the standard SR2010 story.

Indeed, it was very interesting and long read. It looks like it took a lot of effort to make it. Thank you. :-)

Like mentioned above Scandinavian Union or somehting like that would be more fitting I belive.
Norway and Sweden have no revelanse to the baltics as far as I know. Click here for more information regarding which countries are considered "baltic" and not.

Alright, I'll make note of the change. But Scandanavian Union is probably too long. I'll have to go with Scandanavia I guess...

Thanks :)

How many characters can you use?
Some suggestions if you think Scandinavia is abit boring:

Nordic Union, Nordic Alliance, or what you used before in SR Nordic States, NorthernAlliance... There are so many possibilities :)

The world may have 150+ countries in it, but most of them are (no offense to them) pretty useless from a world influence standpoint
In my opinion, pose its own grand strategic dilemas that would be great to model.
