Description This is a zoom on my previous map: thesuricateproject.deviantart.…
When the Atlantic flooded Europe, the entire continent was re-shaped. In the West, Scotland became an island, so they decided to become independent. The Windsor dynasty was overthrown and replaced by a new monarchy. 
Paris was flooded so France collapsed and was divided in many states such as Alsace, Brittany, Aquitaine, Occitania.  After a while, the center of France was colonized by a corporation, Blackspace, a galactic contractor. 
Italy exploded too and came back to the era of condottieres and warlords. It is still pretty unstable. 
Bavaria took its independence, Germany mostly disappeared, and Netherlands (renamed Neverlands by some drug-addict lunatic) invaded most of the country. 
Switzerland, now named 'the Confederation', was mostly untouched and took advantage of the situation by invaded neighbouring countries. 
When Russia was nuked and zombified, the Russian government and many citizens fled to Belarus and the two countries became one: the Two Russias. Their new capital city was Miskow. Now the Two Russias are a dictatorship. 
Greece, mostly untouched by the floods, decided to reconquer Thrace and founded a new Istanbul: the Great Golden City (mostly a huge seaside resort). Greece is one of the few democracies, but because "democracy is so overrated", they are considering adopting a dictatorship or a monarchy. 
Around 2100, Northern Greece, destabilized because of Turkish refugees, took its independence and became the Free Byzantine State, another democracy (ruled by an elected emperor). Other rebels created "the Oracle's Kingdom" and "the Monk Army" -- a coalition of Orthodox monasteries. 
In 2074, the SURimperial Armies came to Europe. Far from the democratic paradise it used to be, Europe was now a neo-feudal chaotic hell, and it was pretty easy to invade. They invaded most of Spain, but they were defeated in 2084 by Blackspace, Andorra and Aquitaine and the UK. A peace treaty enabled the UK to get a  big chunk of Andalusia and Morocco -- terraformed and nicknamed "New South England". 
In 2094, the SURimperial Emperor wed the Duke of Brittany and Brittany became part of the Empire. Now, the SURempire doesn't really care about these provinces - because now, Europe is really poor, quite backwards, obsessed with their glorious past and always quarreling for shitty reasons. 
DISCLAIMER. Some towns may be or may not be misplaced, that is because I'm not a geography expert. BUT in some cases, the misplaced towns are on purpose: for example, Nantes would actually be under water, but was rebuilt further away by refugees. 
Most of the flags come from Wikicommons. I only did the flags for: UK, Kingdom of the Channel, Blackspace, Two Russias, the Consulate, Cartago, SURempire, Caucasus.

Photoshop
The coastlines come from calculatedearth.com/index.php (sea level: +150m), the fonts are from Dafont (Hand of Sean for the towns, Lafayet Scripts for the seas and KG Blank Space for the countries). I drew the scrolls and monsters myself. The flags mostly come from Wikicommons, except United Kingdom, Blackspace, Two Russias, SPQR, SURempire, Cartago, Oracle's Kingdom which were made by me. 
Also, I used free textures found on the Internet and many effects from Photoshop to give the grunge effect to this map.

Ah well it's not supposed to be sea sections but sea routes  
I'm glad you like it! Yeah I'm not really big at drawing so it's always a bit cartoony xD

Oh cool, I checked your gallery and it's really nice

Oh .... sea routes .....damn, I thought those were sections divided for the sea ... my bad >.< ...

The cartoony thing gives it a special, aspect, a unique style ...something that I appreciate and love ^^

Thank you for the check out , glad you like my gallery

THank you so much for the appreciation, it means a lot for me !
The same for you, your maps are gorgeous ! maybe we could work somehow together and make a more detailed "regional" map of europe (?) Always wanted to do one of those but never had the time and motivation. Hope I will finish my countryballs map asap !

Zaigwast In reply to theSuricateProject [2016-09-04 18:17:20 +0000 UTC]

Hehe. nice to see you like the idea ...
Well I thought about something with a high detail map, such as a 3-4x zoom on a specific region in a medieval style concept. I have an unfinished map of Romania as a prototype (I used brushes for the mountains and such,but we need to create individual personalized brushes for our own creation) and make a detailed master piece of Europe, just zoom in on Europe, on the country and then on the region to analyze it ( see some villages, some rivers, roads, maybe,from here to there some medieval squads marching to war and such)

Here is the prototype (I did no finish this yet >.< ) zaigwast.deviantart.com/art/Ro…

What do you think ??? imagine, each country must be created from scrap with mountains, major rivers and important cities placed as for real (but with medieval aspect)

theSuricateProject In reply to Zaigwast [2016-09-05 14:11:05 +0000 UTC]

I think it's a great idea and I think I can already see what it could look like
Just a question, when you say "a detailed master piece of Europe, just zoom in on Europe, on the country and then on the region to analyze it", do you mean we'll do a regional map, or a map of Europe but really precise, or several maps? 

Your prototype is very cool. I love how the mountains are.

Zaigwast In reply to theSuricateProject [2016-09-05 16:16:14 +0000 UTC]

Glad you like the idea ! .....and YES, we create a HUGE europe map, and when you zoom on it, you see (ex a country - modern France) when you click on the second zoom, you will see regions of france, in a detailed concept (ex. Anjou) with little villages, forests, roads, rivers,etc ...
Have you played EUROPA UNIVERSALIS IV ? ....if you did not, you could see the entire world map, with each country and each istorical divided region on it ....but the quality is quite low when it comes to seeing "villages" and such
Thank you ^^

I thought about creating a common pack of brushes and stuff to make all pieces look alike' when we work on individual maps ..... What do you think about this idea dude  ?

No state's land is just anarchists gathered in one place to live their dream it just happens to be there for no good reason. (maybe because it was really unstable politically)
About Hungary, poor Hungary was just to busy with the Danube flooding almost all the country, so the Serbs just invaded them. (I guess it wouldn't be a really stable country, but most countries on this map aren't really stable^^)

Not much. Maybe refugees so, so probably wars or conflicts^^ (it's the apocalypse after all, nobody's safe!)

Mmm, this is so interesting! A question, if you don't mind; what do you think happened to my wee little Cyprus?
Considering our long history of being invaded and conquered because of our strategic geography (heck, we were still a British colony not sixty years ago),
what do you say became of us with the apocalypse? I don't think my seaside city survived the floods though ;_;

theSuricateProject In reply to LonesomeBookworm [2016-08-06 10:38:30 +0000 UTC]

Cyprus is pretty happy I think ^^ It's one of the few countries with not much casualties, because they weren't involved either in Nuclear Apocalypse, nor Alien Apocalypse. And they weren't invaded either!

Looks like Czech Republic moved a bit on west, so now Poland isn't neighbour of Germany x3
The other thing I saw is "Monk Army" But I don't see where is it on map x.x
I'm only hoping that islam didn't take over Europe, just don't get this offensive, I meant that other religions are in Europe still, aswell.

Map is great, looks beautiful. Unfortunalety, looking at the time like 2074 or 2094, I'll be ash in urn, so I won't be able to see how great is Europe at these times.

theSuricateProject In reply to WolfVirindis [2016-08-06 10:26:36 +0000 UTC]

First, thank you^^

Yep. Countries moved quite a lot, because floods. There were probably many many wars. I think even the cultures would be really different: some countries here would be mixes of cultures. 

Monk Army is north of Greece, near Istanbul. 

As for Islam... I think it's impossible for it to take over Europe. In this world, Islam followed the same path as Christianity did: it lost its influence, mostly because of the different apocalypses that happened in the world. People wouldn't understand why Allah let almost everybody die. The old religions lost a lot of influence in this world, but new religions arose, such as a Cthulhu cult ("the Destroyer of Worlds -- sems appropriate), or a feminist religion, or a cannibal religion (in Transylvania). There are more religions in this world than in ours, so most countries are secular countries and tolerate all religions.

WolfVirindis In reply to theSuricateProject [2016-08-06 10:51:12 +0000 UTC]

Cannibal religion seems interesting x3
If they will colonize Antarctica, I'll move from Europe there, so I'll not see the wars. I hope. If people well be closed and not willing to talk, then I will talk with penguins :3

"Hello, mister. How are you?"
"Prrrr."
"Yes, days is nice. Cold and snowy aswell."
"Prrrr!"
"I'm sorry, I forgot about fish. I will bring one tomorrow."
"Prrr"

No, I don't like testing on animals.
But I would be pleasured with something that would understand their language. Like some kind of elixir. Or, if needed, augmentation. Like, you know, you sit alone in your small home with your cat, on chair near table with dinner and you start to talk like normal people. He understands your language and you understand what he "meows" to you. Like instead of "meow" you hear "You're right, human."
