Description Here's another '-punk' style map! This time it's an alternate WWII where the Central Powers won WWI and has ushered in a Diesel-punk age where Zeppelins rule the skies and Fascism and Communism ferment in the America's and Europe. Africa is more-or-less free, with the odd amount of German protectorates. Europe is going through a new era of Enlightenment as new kinds of technology are coming to the public. Tesla Power has fuelled the world for the last decade while energy weapons are becoming popular with gangs and military's alike. Cars are powered by electricity, but some people still drive normal gas guzzling behemoths.

The United States has fallen, the failure of the New Deal lead to open rebellion in the streets as President Roosevelt was assassinated, leading to a 2nd Civil War. Europe has become united against the Reds after France and Spain fell to Communist uprisings. Stalin has lead a 'March on Moscow' with his blackshirt army. A charismatic man by the name of Mosely has denounced the Celtic peoples and non-Englishmen as 'traitors to the English way of life' and has built massive internment camps. The FSA isn't better, as Charles Lindbergh has created a dictatorship, murdering Mormons, Native Americans and Jews left, right and centre. 1939 was the year that plunged the world into another war...

The German Kaiser hopes for a quick end to this ideological conflict. Monarchism is against the totalitarian might of Communism and Fascism, whoever wins will lead the world into either Enlightenment, or a never ending hell...

What spurred the dissolvement, political unrest at home coupled with independence movements abroad? Does the monarchy prevail under Edward VIII in the UK proper?

Right I see that makes sense I suppose...though I do find it hard that Britain would have been forced to abandon all her colonies

Britain would've been hit with the same kind of reparations as Germany did in OTL Post WWI, that's my opinion though.

Not really... There have been more than a few althists (and OTL examples...). Germans aren't that bad anyway.

Umm...slight misprint, maybe, but you've labeled Canada as 12 while its entry is under 11. Otherwise, nice map!

You know, outside of the fascist America and communist Western Europe, this is an amazing setting
