Would the Texan Republic have the same borders as it claimed, or different borders?
(I'm not proficient enough with image editing to actually make the map, I just think it needs clarification.)
At what point did Genoa-Corsica-Sardinia go to the House of Savoy? And which country has the Brandenburgese areas in western Germany? Saxony? If so, is it because of their Elector not being in-charge of Poland now or something?

great map as always!
one thing I noticed though, when did Britain gain Gibraltar and lose Minorca?
Extremly well done! I am sadly a lazy bastard so I did not read your text. I did ob the other hand look at your other map.
Is Brandeburg still a part of Sweden?
Oh I see. So why did Shun not conquer Ming right away? Ming seemed pretty strong considering she took Taiwan from the Dutch.
Also, 硕should be碩, and 国should be國.
Thanks a bunch! I'll write up a quick desc:
The year is 2160, the international order has been shattered after the collapse of the UN in a chaotic last meeting of the general assembly, ending with a mass walk out of nations in protest against the inability of the organisation to take action against the mass atrocities committed against civilian populations by the 'detached states'.
In the following weeks the world has been divided into two mutually hostile camps, the UF / United Front and the Freedom Alliance / FA, both claiming the mantle (and to being the rightful successors) of the old UN but organised as military alliances in the defense of their respective ideologies. With both power blocs disgusted by the morals of the others, war seems inevitable. Tensions were boiling over and the fall of formerly 'neutral' (politically paralysed between pro FA and pro UF forces) major powers such as the US and the EU into internal strife and disarray only exacerbated this.
While clashes across the world had been occurred for some time prior to it, the start the unification wars would generally be held to be when the (newly coalesced) FA aligned United States-Chattanooga declared an end to negotiations with any 'illegitimate claimants and occupiers of american land', followed by full mobilization against the US-Sacramento (UF recognised) and US-Concord governments.

Excellent! Is the TL still being updated? I haven't checked on it in a while. I'm surprised Tuscany didn't use its military success to expand a bit.

Initially, Qing put a great deal of pressure on Shun's northern front even after Shanhai pass, and Shun had to fight several subsequent wars against Qing efforts to try it again. Throughout this period, Shun was also still working to consolidate its rule over northern China, a process that as of the map has only just wound down. While they were doing that, Ming was also consolidating southern China and stabilizing itself, and by the time Shun was in a positon to go after Ming, Ming had grown considerably stronger than it had been. Only after a series of unexpected later events a few years from the map's date will that situation change dramatically...
The Russian state is the Grand Duchy of Smolensk, and it's indeed a France/Bavaria/Scandinavia wank; I'm trying to go for a bluewank, with a hint of purple and green.
If anyone remembers the Collaborative Challenge: Most Confusing Map 1, we over on the map games fourm made a sequel, the results of which are as shown:
Just shows what a small group of committed mapmakers can do if they put their minds to it. Also shows that the AH.com map making community is crazy bug fuck insane*, but still.
Wonder what a 'dumbed down' version of that map might look like - with all the autonomous zones of a nation the same colour as the rest of it and so on.
*you need to be to get ahead in this profession
EDIT: Also, update to that WIP.
I honestly don't remember, it was a while back, though you are free to go check the thread for a brief description. Every nation/entity has one of varying length.
Oh, I did that! That's Grondo Industries' Factory Isolation and Human Resource Extraction Plantation, and the poisoned and radioactive water around it.
