DISCLAIMER: Heinrich Wolf is NOT a real person, he's a fictional character created by me for the sole purpose of this scenario.

Hi! To be honest, I haven't developed a very extensive lore for this, but in short, I wondered what would happen if the Treaty of Sèvres had been implemented, Italy had acquired the largest possible territory it could have claimed in Anatolia, and the region had remained independent after Italy's defeat in World War II in 1945 as a parliamentary monarchy under the House of Savoy.

As for its neighboring states, to the east lies the "Çukurova Turkish Republic," which managed to remain independent from the French; to the north is İzmir (Smyrna), which is part of Greece; and to the northeast is the Ottoman Empire, which retains control of Istanbul.

The Kingdom of Anatolia could basically be considered the most successful country in the region. With a population of 22.1 million, it is the most populous country in Anatolia. It is also the second country in the region to join the European Union, alongside Greece, and the third NATO member, alongside Greece and the Ottoman Empire.

Its official languages are Turkish and Italian, while Greek is the only recognized minority language.

Congratulations to Romania for winning the Eurovision Song Contest 2025!

As always, I ask you guys to submit a potential host city for the Eurovision Song Contest 2026 in Romania, feel free to submit!

The next map should be around this time next month, with new countries joining and some withdrawing and a new theme art for next year's edition.

Simple Lore:

Eastern Roman Empire(im gonna call it eastern roman empire because it is different than byzantines) has much more influencial ethnic and cultural foothold in anatolia, because of that ottomans has a hard time absorbing these lands instead they settle and absorb balkans.

After series of wars in Anatolia Ottomans eventually get kicked out of Anatolia, becoming modern Turkey after WW1.

[No lore here, just The Fire Rises and Ural Republic (and more) under banner of Federation vibes]

Central Europe in 1955

Few people today appreciate how close the German Republic came to coming apart in the winter after Black Tuesday. It is unambiguous that if the crisis of 1929 went unaddressed, it would have produced a far darker decade in Europe. What many do not understood is how many unlikely circumstances had to coincide to avert a potential disaster. In March 1930 Hermann Müller’s Grand Coalition stood on the edge of collapse, directly due to disagreements over half a percentage point of unemployment-insurance contributions. The coalition of social democrats, the Catholic center (and its Bavarian sister party), and two liberal parties, was limited in their combined governing abilities from the start. The right-liberals, speaking for heavy industry, would not raise contributions. Meanwhile, the unions, representing three million men already out of work, would not agree to cutting benefits. At the same time, nondemocratic forces sought to undermine and discredit the coalition at every turn.

Müller held the coalition together by asking his own party to swallow what it had refused for months—a controversial, bold decision. On March 27, after a bitter night session, the Social Democratic deputies accepted a compromise drafted by the Centre’s Heinrich Brüning: freeze the contributions, cover the deficit with Reich loans, and address several other minor grievances. The unions named their price: if the next winter was worse, the government would put the unemployed to work rather than merely pay them.

Naturally, the next winter was worse. By December, more than four million Germans were registered as unemployed, and the unions demanded their end of the deal be honored. Their demands were channeled by the unorthodox work of three men. Wladimir Woytinsky was a Russian émigré and the unions’ chief statistician, Fritz Tarnow led the woodworkers’ union, and Fritz Baade was an agricultural economist with a gift for talking to farmers. The “WTB Plan” as it became known, proposed two billion Reichsmarks for roads, housing, canals and rural electrification. It would be paid for not by taxes but by special public-works bills that the Reichsbank agreed to buy. Its aim was to support one million jobs and to end the spiral of falling prices and wages that had been plaguing the governing coalition and the Republic. Its premise was that a government could spend its way out of a slump was far from consensus thought. It would not receive a full theoretical treatment until Keynes published his General Theory three years later in 1934.

The fiercest resistance came from inside the Social Democratic Party itself. Rudolf Hilferding, the party’s most respected economist, had been driven from the Finance Ministry a year earlier by Schacht’s Reichsbank. He called the plan a betrayal of everything the movement understood about capitalism. Crises, he argued, could not be cured from within the system, and printing credit risked a return to the hyperinflation of 1923, which still scarred the national psyche. Tarnow answered him before the party council: Social Democrats, he said, had to decide whether to stand at capitalism’s sickbed as physicians or as vulturous heirs. Müller, personally ailing and nearing the sickbed himself, chose to side with Tarnow. This persuaded a sizeable number of party members, perhaps encouraged by Müller's earlier political victories over the past year. By a narrow margin, Hilferding could not sway enough of the party and kept his convictions until he passed away in 1948.

Persuading the rest of the coalition was another challenge itself. The People’s Party demanded that every program contract go to private firms and that the public-works bills be capped. The Center Party insisted on a regular, balanced budget and a fixed expiry date. Finally, the Democrats wanted carve outs for housing for the middle class, among other concerns. Above all, the decisive price was paid to Hindenburg himself. To that end, Baade drafted a program of debt relief for the indebted estates east of the Elbe, so that the East Prussian landowners (whom the old Field Marshal counted as his own) were rescued alongside the urban unemployed. After one month of acrimonious negotiations, Müller died. 

The law that passed in March 1931 was roughly half the plan its authors had wanted. The Reichsbank, under Hans Luther, agreed to buy up to 1.2 billion marks in bills, and no more. Hindenburg turned to Brüning, who kept both the coalition and, to his admirers’ surprise, the program. It did not spare Germany from the banking panic that swept Central and Western Europe that summer, though it did put men to work while the panic passed. When Germans voted in the summer of 1932, unemployment stood just under four million. It was indeed a grim figure, but it was nearly two million below what the Statistical Office had earlier forecasted. The National Socialists, who had surged in state elections in 1930, stalled at around ten percent of the national vote two years later. After the result, Gregor Strasser drove the movement’s socialist wing out of the party. Meanwhile, the Communist share of the vote neither significantly rose nor fell.

Hindenburg was re-elected that spring with the coalition’s support, but died in August 1934. Otto Braun, the long-serving Prussian premier, won the election to succeed him as the candidate of the republican parties. The Weimar constitution, battered but intact, had outlived the Depression. Social democrats from Stockholm to London to America now pointed to what the media called “the German cure.”

Austria was the recovered Republic’s next test. Engelbert Dollfuss had suspended the Austrian parliament in 1933, and his government broke apart after the bloody February fighting of 1934. Christian Social moderates refused to govern over the bodies of Vienna’s workers, and parliament was restored. Both of Austria’s great parties then looked north. The treaties made union impossible without the unanimous consent of the League Council, which meant France and Italy each held a veto. Berlin bought their consent with what no Weimar government had ever offered: a guarantee of its borders with Poland and Czechoslovakia, and of the Brenner frontier. The Saar plebiscite of 1935 had shown what a League-supervised vote could look like. In 1938 Austrians voted overwhelmingly to join the Republic as a federal state.

Today, historians speculate about what economic recovery would have looked like if the WTB-plan never came to be. Many conclude that the Republic would have drifted towards government deadlock spanning the economic crisis until a gradual recovery at the expense of countless lives and livelihoods. Others imagine a descent into low-intensity civil war between multiple factions, along the lines of Italy in the 1940s. Though unpopular, there is a theory held by a few fringe historians. They maintain that if Müller lost the squabble about contribution rates in 1930 with the coalition, the National Socialists could have capitalized on the dispute and even enter a state government in several years' time, assuming a later public-works plan put forth by the democratic parties further on the right than the SPD. 

A project I’ve been working on to flesh out this 1.5 year old concept into something more interesting. First two images is a Wikipedia article detailing the summarized history of the Weimar Republic of that timeline, with lore I came up with, including some hints at what could’ve happened afterwards. The third image is a map of the territorial acquisitions. The fourth is a political map, the fifth is an administrative map, and the final one is an ethnolinguistic map.

Hi! I made a post with a map of the Lands if the Bohemian Crown 2 days ago as a start of my Europa Bohemica timeline series if maps, which I am planning on to continue with. I have decided to divide the country into electoral districts as well, and while I am working on a map for elections, I made a map of majority ethnicities in each district alongside graphs for each of the 6 regions. If you are interested in some of the lore, you can read my description and responses to people's questions in the original post.

I hope you guys like this map as well! I am interested in any sugestions or criticism, and if you have any question I haven't explained before or if there are some contradictions to answear, feel free to ask in either the original or this post.

For the past few years I've been going to places that were important back in the middle ages, even if some still are important to these days, as well as visiting major mausoleums, cathedrals, churches, etc.

Now they've all been compiled on this map I bought in France early on in our trip through Neustria, which depicts AD 1350. I only found out it was a vintage map after I'd already put the pins in unfortunately :(

But apart from that it was lots of fun :)

P.S Sorry for my bad Angle, I only speak Occitan and I'm using a translator

Map of Europe in 2026 (the main timeline)

Hi Guys and welcome to another post and in this post we Will explore what if Napoleon accepted the Frankfurt proposal and the following territorial changes after the Treaty

Lore:

Its 1848 and, Europe is in shambels as an hungarian revolution is treatening the very survival of the Habsburgs in Austria, while in Germany prussia is rallièing the German people towards unification

With this upheavel of the short lived previous order comes massive changes, especially for France

France, the nation of so called liberty somehow had a Emperor ???

This and The upcoming death of Napoleon while he has no biological Son (only a adopted one) would seem to spell Great sociale and political changes as Napoleons adopted Son tries to make the people see him as a Napoleon

This together with the hungarian revolution would worry Britian leading them to support Austria and much of the old great powers to not give France any chance to conquer Europe once again

Thus, as Napoleon grows old, a hungarian revolution, a immeneant German unification and a increasingly worried Britian: all could happen as the choise lays in the revolutionairies once again

A timeline that the USA was really federalist:

American federal Republic is a democracy federalist Republic that is made up of 35 states and one of biggest economies in the world and one the important countries in WW1,WW2 and WW3 and has nukes and become a Federation in 1790.
