Description
EDIT: Has been updated: [[link]QUICK NOTE: I've heard there's a map of Australia included in the US hardcover of Tongues of Serpents. Anybody know where I could see this picture? Try as I might, I've been unable to find it...
This one's an oldie, and it's in need of an update, but I thought I'd post it here anyway.
I drew this using a Wikipedia base and a LOT of map sources - it's the world as it appears in the Temeraire Series. Since it takes place during the Napoleonic Wars, it's not too hard to look at historical maps and draw this, but several areas are marked differently due to several changes in the series (such as how the Incans forced the Conquistadors out).
Several things need updating - I don't think South America is quite right, Serbia's the wrong shape, Spain shouldn't be divided the way it is here, the Larrakian outpost needs to be added to Australia, and I'm not sure if the Afghanistan/Iran border is quite accurate (poxy conflicting sources!)
Anyway, I hope you find this map interesting, although it occurs to me that I should really label it! Well, you can always visit the Temeraire Wiki and find the pages with the names marked.
(This isn't the only thing I've done for the Temeraire Wiki; I wrote up the Dragon Weight Page, several book synopses, and amongst other things, I realised that the Chequered Nettle was NOT coloured Purple/White, as so many people have been drawing it; it's Gold/Brown! Check out the page for more details, and a picture by an artist more talented than me)

Course, I still need to update that one too; there's new info from Crucibile of Gold to be added - It's all sitting on my computer, waiting for me to format it properly and upload it...

Is this info in any way related to Bolivar happening/not happening/succeeding/failing/w/e?

It's too early in time for Bolivia to happen, but it doesn't look like it will get founded - in this versions of events, the Incans (or rather, their vengeful dragons) expelled the conquistadors, and the Incan Empire has since expanded to include present-day Chile, West Argentina, West Bolivia, West Brazil, Peru, Ecuador and South Colombia.
However, the Viceroyalty of New Granada seems to exist, so Simon Bolivar will probably still be born and revolt to create Gran Colombia.

The next book should be out soon, so maybe an update for this can be made afterwards.

Yes, they couldn't have picked a better location to go to (South America)! It's mentioned in one of the books that the Incans are still powerful, having forced the Conquistadors out. Historically, after conquering the Incans, the Spanish moved south from Peru and colonised the south. As a result of these changes, the borders will be drastically different!

If I had had a world history class, I'd have a better idea of what to guess they'll come across later on.

Serbia looks good to me. But i think that is not how the world looked like in those times
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Serbia isn't right - the northern part of it was controlled by the Austrian Empire at this time.
This is more or less how the world looked around the early 1800s - there's plenty of historical maps to prove it - with a few changes to accomodate the events of the Temeraire series.

Yeah, one of my sources said that Serbia was making a try for independence from the Ottomans at this point, but I'm not sure if they ever made it to separate country status. I'll probably get rid of it when I next update it.
