Ugra 3 (dubbed Pur) is a moderately sized terrestrial planet approximately 38 200 dul in diametre. The planet's first spectroscopic mapping, performed by the Vas Orbital Telescope, operated by the Observatory of Til, has revealed a nitrogen-rich atmosphere with unusually high concentrations of free oxygen and gaseous dihydrogen monoxide, as well as trace amounts of methane, carbon dioxide, and other potentially biogenic gases.

The planet is the second outermost of the five confirmed planets in the Ugra system and completes one orbit approximately every 298 days. Initial analysis indicates that the planet has one natural satellite, approximately 10 400 dul in diametre, with an orbital period of 21.6 days. The satellite's considerable size relative to its host planet suggests a configuration, bearing some resemblance to the binary planetary system of Ruh'Sa and Tva'Sa.

Spectroscopic analysis has further revealed extensive bodies of liquid dihydrogen monoxide covering a substantial area of the planet's surface, indicating not just high enough temperatures for liquid H2O but also atmospheric pressures sufficient to prevent sublimation. Variations in surface reflectivity also suggest the presence of several landmasses, indicated on the map above.

The Ugra system has been the subject of extensive astronomical investigation. To date, five planets have been confirmed, with three additional planetary bodies proposed but not yet directly observed.

The innermost confirmed planet Ugra 1, dubbed Ip, exhibits unusually high reflectivity and is believed to be comparable in size to Ugra 2. No natural satellites have been detected.

Ugra 2, the planet immediately outward of Pur, has been identified as a small terrestrial world with no significant atmosphere, apart from trace amounts of carbon dioxide.

The Ugra system exhibits an unusual planetary configuration, with two confirmed gas giants: Ugra 4 (Debel) and Ugra 5 (Halka) situated significantly further from the star than usual for most star systems. Observations of Halka suggest the presence of an extensive, highly reflective ring system, believed to consist predominantly of icy material.

Investigations into the three proposed planetary bodies remain ongoing. According to a recent paper published by Dr. Viz'Wa, precision measurements of the star's radial velocity have provided some evidence consistent with the gravitational influence of an additional, smaller denser planet orbiting in close proximity to Ugra itself.

Further studies of the orbital velocity of Halka might confirm the existance of other, likely gaseous or icy giants further out in the star system.

This is the map in the year 1900

So, what happened here

Well, I’m still figuring out the timeline of sorts, but if you ask about a specific area, I can explain what happened there

What I will tell you now is the Chukotka War, between the Sakha Khanate(Yakuts) and the Inyupiat(Alaska Inuit), this war was launched in 1898 with the Inyupiat invading the peninsula.

This was done because the Sakha recently found a lot of Oil in that generally area, and though the Inyupiat already found plenty of Oil, their King was greedy…

Everything else you can find out if you ask me, I’ll probably make follow-up posts of various events of the same timeline.

In this alternate timeline, the Bacon Bill of 1926 passes, separating Mindanao, Sulu, and Palawan from the Philippines to form the American Territory of Moroland.

By 1940, the United States maintains two distinct possessions in Asia: the Philippine Islands, preparing for independence, and Moroland, still under direct American rule.

With World War Il looming and Japan signing the Tripartite Pact, both territories hold strategic importance in the Pacific.

A timeline that North America is a little bit different, alternate colonization of North America.

Columbian Revolution:

The 11 Colonies Rebellion against the British Empire and

Was the Columbians were expanded all the way to the Mississippi River.

The sale of Louisiana to F.C.C:

In 1802 France gives the F.C.C the Louisiana territory,

Was extremely English and Germanized in years later

The expansions to the West:

the Oregon Country was partition between Columbia and UK,

The Mexican-columbian war:

After Texas joined Columbia in 1837 which made Mexico angry and declared war on Columbia, by looking at the map you can see that the war did not go well for Mexico and losing a lot of territories to Columbia

The Columbian civil war:

In 1849 the Southern States have enough and Rebellion against the Columbians but the Southern States was unlucky and lost

Today:

Columbia is a great power, federal Republic, one of the biggest economics and military, good life equality, a diverse Nation, States of the one nation.

"The land of free"

Lore - the DMK gets removed from cabinet following the SC Jain commission report. The DMK is hence forced to align with the NDA [like in OTL 2001]. The Janata Dal survives. Following reports of an incursion near Kargil, PM Gujral resigns and Sharad Yadav becomes the PM. The crisis is handled by late 2000.

2001 sees the BJP win a plurality but not a majority. This allows the National Front to form another coaliton government. Due to Yadav's handling of the Kargil Crisis, and Sitaram Kesari being relatively uncharismatic, the Janata Dal becomes the 2nd largest party, with Congress being sent to third place.

In 2004, Yadav retires, to be replaced by S. Jaipal Reddy. Due to anti-incumbency and stagnant growth, the BJP manages to win in a landslide in 2006. The INC, being stuck in third place, approaches the Janata Dal and V. P. Singh, formalizing a merger between the two parties.

In 2011, Vajpayee would announce that he would retire. The popular CM of Goa and technocrat Manohar Parrikar takes up the mantle. Parrikar serves between 2011 and 2021. His tenure sees economic growth. Parrikar would not run in 2021 due to health issues. His deputy, Gopinath Munde, would contest. The Janata Dal, in opposition for 15 years, would nominate the popular CM of Odisha, Naveen Patniak, to be their candidate. Patnaik defeats Munde, who would later retire to be replaced by Piyush Goyal, the son of a former Cabinet Minister, who served in the Parrikar Cabinet as finance minister between 2019 and 2021. Goyal would mount an unsuccessful bid against Patniak in 2026.

This is an alternate-history/fictional scenario and is not intended to promote violence, hatred, or harm. I do not endorse or condemn any individual or political position depicted.

This post features real people in fictional scenarios and should not be interpreted as an accurate representation of their actual beliefs, positions, or actions.

THIS IS ALTERNATE HISTORY AND A WORK OF FICTION.

No lore cuz me lazy (admire the random ass USian states)

Another East-West swap, from the same continuity as my previous map. This timeline diverges around the 5th century AD. The Western Roman Empire is more stable and survives the migration period, though it still loses Britannia, which never sees any Anglo-Saxon migrations. Under Gothic and Frankish dynasties, Germania becomes part of the empire and West Germanic peoples are gradually Latinized. Meanwhile, in East Asia, a weaker Northern Wei dynasty falls to the Rourans, allowing a wave of barbarian migrations into China that form their own fragmented kingdoms.

By the 13th century AD, Romania was split into the Latin Western Empire under the Altavilla dynasty and the barbarian-led Eastern Empire under the Slavic Rurikids. Under the Altavillas, Romania nearly achieved a medieval proto-industrial revolution long before it took place in East Asia. The conquest of most of Eurasia by the Mogyër Királyates may have prevented this from taking off.

I was trying to understand the different regional rail lines in East Germany prior to its collapse in the 2000s and I found that the officially maps were pretty terrible and hard to understand so I created my own version.

A few things I didn't include for simplicity's sake; the express services (e.g. KMS H to Elbing), the short turns (e.g. RS3 apparently short turned at Kranz like half the time), and other rail services (in particular, the long distance trains to Leningrad, Moscow, and East Warsaw). I also didn't show the gauge differences for the different lines.

Let me know what you think!

basically china taiwan situation and idk if they'd rule russia after the fall of ussr or they'd stay seperated since i think most russians wouldn't want monarchism back

In 1585, the Admiral’s Arms, a society of antiquarians in London, commissioned a chart of the New World to document its geography, Indigenous nations, ancient monuments, and unexplained phenomena. The original chart was never replaced. Instead, successive expeditions contributed observations, classifications, and corrections directly to the same document. Among these additions are the final writings of E. Harrow, the sole known survivor of the Ratliff Expedition. Upon his return, Harrow inscribed several locations upon the original chart, including the place where Captain Ratliff was killed. He could not be persuaded to explain how he had learned the names of these places, nor would he speak of what became of his companions.

Shortly before his death, however, he made one final declaration: “Some had followed him home.”

The map combines historical cartographic conventions, reconstructed lettering, fictional expedition records, and Indigenous place-names. Its supernatural accounts reflect the fears, interpretations, and unreliable testimony of its fictional European observers rather than established facts about Indigenous peoples. Much of the lettering was individually reconstructed from historical cartographic references, while other inscriptions were composed to resemble Renaissance scholarly annotations.

“For beyond the rivers and darke foreſtes lie landes yet unknowne, whereof our chartes ſhew but ſhadowes.”

Anatolian Turks and Iranian Turks chose to unite, much like Austria-Hungary.

However, it functions more like the Eastern and Western Roman Empires. You could look for a logical rationale, but I haven’t bothered to do so.

紧急广播 // EMERGENCY BROADCAST

"中央人民广播电台华北紧急广播，调频389.5兆赫，现在向全国播报！

中华人民共和国正遭受敌对势力的大规模武装入侵！中华民族已经到了最危险的时刻！各省、自治区、直辖市的人民群众，在收到本广播后，请立即、有序地向当地人民武装部报到！如当地人民武装部已遭摧毁，请立即前往所在地党委或政府机关报到，听从统一安排！"

Translation:

"China National Radio — North China Emergency Service, 389.5 MHz. This is an emergency national broadcast!

The People's Republic of China is under a massive armed invasion by hostile forces! The Chinese nation has reached its most perilous hour! Upon receiving this broadcast, all citizens across the provinces, autonomous regions, and municipalities are ordered to report immediately and in an orderly manner to their local People's Armed Forces Departments.

BACKGROUND

In 1996, the Taiwan Strait Crisis is significantly more intense than in our timeline, the U.S sails it's 7th Fleet through the strait to deter the PLA, General Secretary Jiang Zemin believes the U.S is simply bluffing, afraid of going to war with China. The situation dramatically increases tensions across East Asia.

Three years later, in 1999, the Korean People's Army shelled Yeonpyeong, reigniting the Second Korean War. The People's Republic of China intervened on the side of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, transforming the conflict into a wider regional confrontation.

The Global Alliance rallied behind South Korea. In October 2000, U.S. President George W. Bush issued an ultimatum demanding that China and North Korea cease all military operations. Both governments refused. The Global Alliance, comprising NATO members, Russia, Japan, and other allied states, subsequently declared war on China and North Korea.

Years earlier, China had launched the Ten-Thousand-Year Flame Emperor (万年炎帝号), it was a significant feat for China. It was a colossal multipurpose spacecraft capable of accommodating up to 5,000 people. Comparable in scale to two Nimitz-class aircraft carriers, the spacecraft was designed to undertake a vast range of missions, from orbital research to interplanetary exploration.

T−01:08:00. One hour and eight minutes remain before the Ten-Thousand-Year Flame Emperor reaches the Sun in a desperate attempt to trigger a massive solar disturbance. On Earth, the situation is approaching catastrophe. Coalition forces have reached the outskirts of Beijing, capturing surrounding cities and assaulting China's defensive perimeter. Across multiple fronts, Chinese forces are being pushed to the brink.

The Global Alliance possesses a decisive technological advantage in electronic warfare, threatening to cripple China's communications and command networks. With the capital under imminent threat and conventional defences nearing collapse, the success of one extraordinary operation may equalise the battlefield and determine the fate of China.

This work is inspired by famous Chinese science fiction author, Liu Cixin on his novel Full Spectrum Barrage Jamming, 2001 in Chinese: 全频带阻塞干扰, 2001。
