Nice, you should check out my own map. I feel like we took a very different approach from one another.Β

I like it *a lot*. Nice touch with the quarantined areas in China, I'm thinking of including something similar here. I guess your approach is more focused on the big play of polar blocs, while mine tries a more localized scope. I also, partly because simple appeals to my laziness, try not to directly outline contenders in a war unless they represent actual nations with functioning state structures, a label that might be contentious by itself.

Thanks, and your correct in guessing my approach was to more accurately depict major power blocs and spheres of influence.Β

Not the best of possible worlds. At least I hope so.

Systems theory as it is is very tentative, in my opinion. For example, a semi-peripheral country can act as a peripheral coutry for other countries, and commercial volume and development seem to randomly matter more in some countries than in others as long as they perpetuate the idea of a fixed north-south divide by other means. Now, I'm not saying I do my job better than sociologists who do proper research, but what I tried to convey with the idea of "core countries" was the political-economic intertwinement of most highly developed, industrial countries -that is, excluding those that are geopolitically/economically more distant from the bulk. So, on practical terms, "Core countries" means direct participants of the Western geopolitical-economic complex with two main traits: Very high HDI and an industrialized economy. Let's see Chile. Very high HDI, check. Industrialized economy, check. It could be argued that Argentina and Uruguay are Core then, but you see that their geopolitical closeness to Brazil, neither geopolitically integrated in the Core nor very high in terms of development, excludes that cathegory.

Id rather not. It's too implausible, and efforts at making it plausible have been made already, and anything I could come up with would be redundant.

Making it made it look less depressing than it was in my head, but still, yeah.

You may as well add a "Nat-Populist Wave" to Germany, it's getting there there too

As a rule of thumb, I've only included places where it solidly and lastingly enforces policies at a national level. If it were because of presence in one way or another or because of local influence, virtually the whole world would have that indicator.

What is that thing in the middle of the national populist logo? It looks like a plow.

It's supposed to be a wave, but it's hard to draw one and/or I'm not skilled enough to make pixel figures in that scsle.

If you really wanted to ham it up you could add the coronavirus as a bunch of horizontal lines on Wuhan and surrounds, the classic 'this area's fucked' pattern. Great map, regardless.

I really though about it, might still do it

Es curioso ver el mundo como en uno de los tΓpicos mapas de historia alternativa. ΒΏNo consideras a Bolivia como parte de la oleada Nat-Pop? La nueva presidenta se parece bastante a Bolsanaro por lo poco que he visto.

Al final he dedidido incluir a Bolivia aprovechando que querΓa hacer algunos cambios

SΓ que me lo parece, pero al ser una presidencia interina, no sabΓa quΓ© hacer. Algo parecido me ha pasado con Israel. ΒΏSigue el Likud o hay traspaso de poder? En circunstancias muy burbujeantes he preferido no tocar nada.

En Israel por el momento no hay gobierno, pero Netanyahu del Likud es aΓΊn Primer Ministro. En Marzo hay elecciones y los dos principales competidores son Netanyahu (Likud) y Gantz (Kajlo Lavan). No son tan distintos ideolΓ³gicamente en realidad.Β
