It's hard to figure out what it all means without the official interpretation.

I'm going to guess alternate American civil war somehow leads to Germany winning WW1, with the Raj being released and colonies from British Malaysia to the Belgian Congo being seized. Inexplicably, Austro-Hungary survives.

I'll probably be significantly wrong, though.

I don't RP things where I have to be loyal, I have to have the total ability to do whatever I please, even if I never will do things. Hence why any form of a dominion is out.

I think I might do Sicily, it seems like the one I'd like the most. That or the Netherlands, but they are kinda nerfed so I doubt they could be very relevant.

Ache and Western Borneo weren't all that important to the Netherlands, though.

They control the East Indies.

They are always of relevant. Oil.

The problem, though, is that said colonies of Britain are all shades of red, which suggests they are dominions/commonwealths/etc.

Pakistan is blue, Nepal is green, as is Burma. I suspect it's just for contrast.

The weird thing is that Egypt-Sudan and Australia are exactly the same color. Literally. EXACTLY the same color. I don't think that fits with the British Commonwealth interpretation.

True, way too much oranges and yellows IMO, to the point that it's confusing.

That could go well horribly wrong, likely will.

However the Dutch and the Germans could still be somewhat friendly so that could help.

Yes, but India is Red. Most independent India's are coloured in purple or green.

And Australia is the same color orange as Egypt, which is distinctive from any other orange on the map. I really want an explanation of how that occurred.

-shrug-

I think dominions are the best explanation, but -shrug- I didn't make the map.

My explanation is that Sveltlana likes the color orange way too much. I think the Australia-Egypt thing is probably an accident, as are the similarly colored IRL British dominions.

His maps are based of of EU4 (or was it vicky 2?) colors IIRC.
*Huzzah he lives!*

Nah, son. Britain was all like "yo, why my colonies be all uppity an' shit?!" And Lord Durham laid it straight: "they be wantin' legislation with representation, dawg."

IDC. Too much orange. I have to try to edit the color of one orange nation onto one province of another to see if they are different, as the differences are miniscule.

As is the North American continent. Too many blue's that are similar.

So far most of it is unexplained, all we know is it was created by Sveltlana, for a potential RP idea titled "USA v. FSA".

FSA? Federal States of America? Or something completely unrelated? Huh. My interest is piqued. Here's my map that I made for something..
