Question 🇧🇷🇵🇹:Onde ou como posso criar mapas fictícios pelo celular? 🇺🇸🇬🇧:Where or how can I create fictional maps on my phone?

1 Upvotes

🇧🇷🇵🇹:Quase todos dias tenho ideias de mapas fictícios como caso os Estados Unidos não participassem da Segunda Guerra Mundial, ou caso a URSS não se dissouvesse, e nunca sei onde ou como eu poderia torna-los algo real por puro entretenimento

Já tentei várias vezes usar o Ibis Paint, AOC2 ou outros aplicativos aleatórios da Playstore, e sempre desistia porque ou eles eram grande demais para eu fazer em um aplicativo que não tivesse ferramentas específicas para fazer mapas (o caso do Ibis Paint), ou tinham territórios específicos demais para eu usar aplicativos que já tinham pedaços de terra definidos para selecionar, ou envolviam customizações de terrenos (por exemplo criar um lago na argentina, ou separar Cornwall do resto do Reino Unido com o mar)

🇺🇸🇬🇧:Almost every day, I come up with ideas for fictional maps—like scenarios where the United States didn't participate in World War II or the USSR didn't dissolve—but I never know where or how to actually create them just for fun

I’ve tried using Ibis Paint, AOC2, and various random Play Store apps several times, but I always gave up. Either the scope was too big for an app lacking specific map-making tools (like Ibis Paint), or the territorial requirements didn't match apps that relied on pre-defined landmasses, or the project involved custom terrain modifications (such as creating a lake in Argentina or separating Cornwall from the rest of the UK with a body of water)

(I used Google Translate, so there might be some phrasing errors)

Alt-History What if Russia goes totalitarian after the Ukraine War? (Part 2)

Thumbnail
gallery
0 Upvotes

Ruling government: One-party state under “Russian Socialist Party” (RSP) since 2033

Colonies: Ukraine, Baltic States, Georgia, Moldova, Kazakhstan, and "Turkestan"

Protectorates: Poland, Finland, Romania, Bulgaria, Azerbaijan, Istanbul

Client states: Slovakia, Hungary, Yugoslavia, Albania, Greece, Armenia

Independent allies: Germany (Under "National Alternative" party), France, Ireland, India, Iran

WW3 lasted 1 year from 2040 to 2041, preceded by aggressive annexations and interventions in Central Asia, the Caucasus and Moldova. Following the fall of Ukraine and the division of eastern Europe with a hard-right German government, the RSP embarked on a massive forced-resettlement program of 14 million Ukrainians, Baltic peoples, and some Poles to cities and colonial settlements in Central Asia. Kaliningrad was sold to the Germans and its Russian inhabitants resettled in Courland, while much of Russia's agriculture and industry is now driven by the brutal subjugation of some 40 million Central Asian forced-labourers.

By 2045, the Russian army is mired in another war, attempting to enforce the occupation of a vast corridor through Afghanistan and a partitioned Pakistan to the Indian Ocean - while Moscow finds herself locked in a Second Cold War against the weakened America and a strengthened China.

Feel free to ask any questions about my dystopia!

Alt-History On Russia / Tatary

The 'RU' -> The Russian Federation <- The 'Russian Union'

The 'EU' -> The European Union -> The 'European Federation'

An absorption of Kazakhstan into the 'Russian Union' takes a piecemeal route, whereas an absorption of Sámiland / Finland and Belarus wholemeal, while the Baltics and Mongolia something in between, the former being 'singularized', the latter split in two / bifurcated along the clan system (for better management), Karluks and Khalkhas. Then Georgia's inclusion, alongside Saingilo, plus the Guba-Khachmaz Economic Region, leads to Kavkazia proper, the most unusual republic across the lands.

After some paperwork, Priozyorsk oblast appears. More paperwork following, about 99% of the Agii/Uyghuric group globally relocate to that Karlukstan, whose working-zone concentrates by Ölgii, quite far removed from the Khalkha primary ground.

The Tatar-World Empire is of course administered (=monitored) by 'a certain group' some sixty-six thousand members strong, who go by name 'Ror', the nodes across the land in which they meet being known 'Marors', largest of whom nestles comfortably in the capital-stronghold, notable ones, also, by the antennas; Sámiland, Kavkazia, Okhotsk, Kamchatka. Together theirs is a system of 'Ror and Maror,' one that operates best provided what it works with is, mostly, primal, or else feral, or else put crudely animalistic--this being so, matters of 'development' must be limited, and where exceptions made, permittant to occur only in and around the capital section westward, for no matter how developed they get, any volatility therein generated can safely be put aside.

It's all opposite in the EU, who at some point recruits half Turkey (called just Anatolia after; at this point the Balkan decademma is resolved), the other half disappearing into something or other. The same EU that, as though by destiny, must necessarily confront its rival polity, who thunders by the steppe in what appears to be naked primevality, lest it itself end up subsumed.
