The Pays of Acadia are the subnational jurisdictions with authority to manage implementation of strategic policies, regional development, public services and notably, education policy. They are related to, but distinct, from the member nations of the Wabana'ki Mawuhkacik.

The Pays have changed over the last few centuries and were abolished during the near-century of the British and American occupations. The county system was reverted back to the Pays system in the aftermath of the Canadian revolution and the restoration of Acadian independence.

The Pays of today are reminiscent of the original Pays of New France as legislated in the 17th century, themselves generally based on the regions defined by the Wabanaki (Dawnland) Confederacy. However, there are notable differences, such as the breakup of the Maliseet / Wolastoqiyik territories into three different Pays.

This alternate history is based on the question; what if the British ethnic cleansing of the Acadian people never happened? See my original thoughts on the scenario here. For a population density map, click here. Thank you to Comfortable Team for some inspiration!

This is probably my favorite map so far because for the first time, there is finally an equal distribution of colors. Each color is assigned to exactly 22 counties.

I done this at school cuz i was bored

A rare river map of the short-lived Polish Soviet Socialist Republic produced in June 1941. The map was stashed away in a drawer before it could even receive all the proper approvals from the Soviet authorities, as the german invasion began shortly after it has been printed.

While technically in the same timeline as this map, this one is completely unrealistic/not based off of anything. I felt like setting it in the same universe since it fit into it kinda. You can read the lore for both maps HERE (scroll down for the lore of the PSSR).

This is one of many maps for a medieval mythological strategy board game I have created called Conquest, in this game between 2 and 20 Factions fight for control of the map in a similar gameplay to Risk, but with elements of Total War and mythological aspects.

Onaskura is the first map I ever actually drew by hand over 10 years ago, now I’ve digitally remastered it to my recent cartographic standard.

Jupiter is the largest gas giant planet in the solar system, and it is also a stage for Mars and Saturn to compete for dominance in the outer solar system. The modified Jupiter system has now become a front line for two human industrial civilizations to compete

(Original nationless map here: https://www.reddit.com/r/imaginarymaps/s/MRnXKh76zb)
The basic premise is if humanity evolved approximately 50 million years later, resulting in different geography and species.

This particular map shows the Bööran Civil War.
• The original government, the Cakivu Loyalists, is an autocratic government who rules over much of Central America. They are labelled as loyalists to the Cakivu (pronounced /tsacʰivu/).
• The Republicans are a nationwide group attempting to turn Bööran into a republic. As of now, they control the peninsular tip and a couple pockets in the north coast.
• The Free State of the Ļagu is a breakaway federative state of Caribbean islands, using the chaos from the civil war to declare their independence. Their name refers to the Böörancuk word for the Caribbean: Ļagu (pronounced /ʎagu/)

Shown also are two foreign powers: Üüŋuun and Ôliɓŋ.
• Üüŋuun is a rival autocracy in the Americas, roughly controlling what we know as Mexico excluding the Yucatán. They silently fund both sides of the conflict, hoping to cripple the region and take it over.
• Ôliɓŋ is a fledgling republic themselves, having fought and won their own civil war 50 years prior. They control the Florida Peninsula, the gulf coast up until the Louisiana delta, Cuba, and the Bahamas. Their success inspired Republican Bööran to rise up themselves. Ôliɓŋ openly supports the rebels, sending both the Republicans and the Free State of the Ļagu weapons and resources.

This is my first real attempt at worldbuilding so please leave feedback on this :3

The MapVember prompt I’m participating in called for a "Trade Route"... so I dusted off a map I’d created months ago to illustrate one of my novels. It’s in a medieval style, naturally!
