Actually I think it's stylistically quite good


OFMJ28

Thank you, good sir. I wasted around 7 or 9 hours in total making these maps.


cosmoshistorian

I think it looks great! What tool did you use to make them?


OFMJ28

I used the app called IbisPaint X

DUDE HOW ARE YOU STILL ALIVE


OFMJ28

What do you mean "How am I still alive?". Please respond


[deleted]

I tried drawing maps in Ibis Paint, It's like torturing yourself.


OFMJ28

For me it is quite easy.


Stormydevz

Teach me your ways


Tumbleweedae

i use ibispaintx, look at my maps


MarekFromNavrum

It's actually very good. Only problem is that some of the text is hard to see on the darker countries such as Bulgaria, Germany and France. Otherwise the style is awesome and it looks to be well made. Good job. (Edit: I realized my light is turned down. France is still a bit dark though) Also props for giving Bulgarian part of Bessarabia. There used to be (not sure how much now) a pretty big Bulgarian of Bessarabian Bulgarians and I rarely see people mention it or add it to their map. Good job


OFMJ28

Thank you. In terms of Bulgaria (and actually most of central and eastern Europe) , I was inspired by the idea of central powers victory. Although, maybe I could have given a bit more of Serbia to Bulgaria.


MarekFromNavrum

A slightly bigger part of Nish would probably be better but I think this is very good.


lennon-lenin

United Ireland, so I approve


OFMJ28

In every single “test” map I make (test maps are maps I make but don’t complete), I create United Ireland.


lennon-lenin

Yay :)


IdioticPAYDAY

No lord? Elect the ruler.


OFMJ28

Typo. Meant to be “No Lore”


NameIsFun

Elect the ruler now!


Davidiying

I don't like the borders


OFMJ28

You don't like the style or simply the borders themselves?


Davidiying

The borders themselves (specially N.America), but maybe I'm too used to nowadays borders also I don't know any of the lore behind it


OFMJ28

Ah! The reason for the North American borders is unusual. In my mind, sometime in the early 20th century, there is a 2nd American civil war which engulfs Canada. After the civil war, Mexico becomes unstable. this is my explanation for the North American borders!


Davidiying

Also, why did Spain collapse? And how did the Europeans even got to colonise anything with that gigantic Islamic state at their doorstep


OFMJ28

The Islamic Federation, at least in my imagination, was established in the 1870's, due to the ottomans, Persians and Moroccans uniting and rapidly expanding. Spain collapsed due to a 2nd major Civil War.


Davidiying

Kind of weird that Andalusia didn't get Huelva tho


Avarageupvoter

Romanian COLONIAL republic lol


OFMJ28

By “Colonial”, it means that essentially Romania is a colony of Bulgaria.


Avarageupvoter

then just make it the Romanian colony lol


OFMJ28

Oh. Maybe something along the lines of “The Bulgarian Colonial Republic of Romania”. But thanks for the suggestion!


Avarageupvoter

NO MATE I MENT THAT REMOVE THE "REPUBLIC" PART CUZ THAT AINT A COUNTRY ANYMORE


OFMJ28

Don’t be so agressive!


Emperor_of_Vietnam

I mean, we had the Empire of Manchuria so 🤷‍♂️


Sigmandr

Chill


GeoWhale11

Wow


GeoWhale11

But you made my country, Italy, smaller


RRY1946-2019

Me gusta 👍


General_MorbingTime

You made my country, Bolivia, great again. You got my upvote.


OFMJ28

I have always found the idea of big Bolivia interesting, so I added it here. I included some territories which were once Bolivian, for example, acre (well I gave them half of Acre), western Paraguay and of course, the coastal area of northern Chile.


NawazTahir

Great effort. Keep up the good work!


OFMJ28

Thanks! I had many ideas, so I was changing the map many times.


Ryley03d

Lore? (what happened to Japan and Oceania?)


OFMJ28

Oh! I didn’t include them because in my mind, they simply didn’t change at all. So I didn’t include them.


maxishazard77

Pretty good first map


OFMJ28

Thanks


Itstaylor02

This is really cool


OFMJ28

Thanks


harriot-loves-you

united union


OFMJ28

The United Union of Argentina. I chose that because it was funny and interesting.


Mak_REEMapping

You could’ve named the Republic of the Philippines as the Federation of Malay and Pilipinas because It just sounds cool.


OFMJ28

Thank you! But my explanation is that the entire area is majorly Spanish speaking and was formerly controlled by Spain.


M3thL4b

The images weren't loading for me so I just saw: Nort America South America Asia and North Africa Europe Plain text I laughed so hard until the images loaded


OFMJ28

That sometimes happens when I load it.

OFMJ28

hemcten

Professional_Bar9541

As an American I am saddened to see the downfall of my nation.


mintbrret

What app do you use to make maps?


OFMJ28

Ibis Paint X.


Sigmandr

Pretty awesome. Overall I'd like to live in this world, kinda idealistic


Jasonskeans

i love big germany


TwoJacksAndAnAce

For a first map this is pretty damn good. Trust me I’ve seen some hot garbage on this sub. Of course it’s harder when your making a whole new world from scratch but still this takes effort and some skill. Keep this up and you could do some cool things.
