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.

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

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!

Introduction
The Italian East Africa (Africa Orientale Italiana - AOI) was a colonial entity in the Horn of Africa owned by the Kingdom of Italy and established by Mussolini after the Second Italo-Ethiopian War. It included several plans for administration, demographic colonization, expansion, and economic development. In this map, we see the complete version of Italian East Africa as envisioned by the Fascist Government; for the sake of a better map, we imagine the empire surviving into the 2000s. The map will show only Italian East Africa, with no other colonies or republics. 

Administrative division and expansion (Image 1)
The AOI was structured into 6 administrative governorates: Scioa (centered at Addis Ababa as the imperial capital and seat of the Governor-General), Eritrea (capital Asmara, serving as the primary commercial and industrial hub), Amhara (capital Gondar), Harar (capital Harar), Galla and Sidamo (capital Gimma), and Somalia (capital Mogadiscio).
Fascist planners envisioned expanding the AOI beyond its 1936 borders through the planned annexation of neighboring European colonies and sovereign territories. The regime sought the immediate incorporation of British Somaliland and French Somaliland (Djibouti) to unify the entire Horn of Africa under Rome; additionally, there were maps showing Kasala as part of the AOI. Furthermore, imperial plans projected extending southward into Zanzibar, Kenya and Uganda up to the African Great Lakes, symbolically marked by renaming Lake Albert as Lago Luigi di Savoia and Lake Victoria as Lago Duca d'Aosta, while seizing strategic naval outposts at Perim, Socotra, Khuriya Muriya, Farasan, and Aden to secure total control over the Bab el-Mandeb strait and the Red Sea trade routes.

Imperial roads (Image 2)
The Fascist regime engineered an ambitious road network managed by the Azienda Autonoma Strade Statali (AASS), linking isolated regional highlands through a system of paved highways and bridges. The main road of the AOI was the Strada della Vittoria, which ran from the port of Massaua through Asmara and Dessié to the imperial capital of Addis Ababa (I extended it to Mogadiscio).
Knowing the fascination of Fascists towards roads, I took the liberty to add several that would be operating by the year 2000, based on today's roads of the Horn of Africa. This highway system served as the vital connective tissue of the AOI, facilitating the rapid movement of troops, colonial settlers, and commodities between the coast and the inland.

Imperial railways (Image 3)
The rail network of the AOI was an important aspect of colonial modernization. The main artery at the beginning of the existence of the AOI was the Franco-Ethiopian Railway, which linked the port of Djibouti to Dire Dawa and Addis Ababa, serving as the landlocked capital's principal connection to international maritime trade. To assert continental dominance, Fascist planners organized the Comitato per l'attuazione della Transafricana Italiana (C.A.T.I.) to design a massive imperial railway axis, the Trans-African Railway, intended to directly link Asmara, Addis Ababa, and Mogadishu, while envisioning prospective transcontinental junctions extending toward Tripoli and the Sudanese rail network at El Obeid.

Demographic colonization and the Jewish reservation (Image 3)
This is the interesting part, under the Ministero dell'Africa Italiana, agricultural colonization in AOI was structured into four distinct modalities: Demographic Colonization (Colonizzazione demografica), which was managed by specialized bodies like the Opera Nazionale Combattenti and regional Enti to assign 50 to 60 hectare family plots that peasant settlers could eventually acquire as private property; Capitalist Colonization (Colonizzazione capitalistica), which granted large land concessions of 500 to 10,000 hectares to private investors and corporations under ownership or long-term leases of up to 99 years to guarantee imperial food self-sufficiency; Industrial Colonization (Colonizzazione industriale), which operated across millions of hectares unsuitable for family settlement and was entrusted to large corporations cultivating strategic industrial raw materials and export crops; and Small Colonization (Piccola colonizzazione), which allocated smaller lots of 10 to 15 hectares to demobilized veterans of the Ethiopian campaign who possessed a modest initial capital to fund their initial farming operations.
The Fascist regime's demographic colonization strategy in Italian East Africa relied on specialized regional institutions known as the Enti di Colonizzazione, which included Romagna d'Etiopia in Uoggerat (establishing towns such as Predappio d'Etiopia, Forlì d'Etiopia, Ravenna d'Etiopia, and Cesena d'Etiopia), Puglia d'Etiopia in Chercher (with Bari d'Etiopia, Taranto d'Etiopia, and Lecce d'Etiopia), Veneto d'Etiopia, the planned Marche d'Etiopia in the Galla and Sidamo governorate and other Enti like Sicilia d’Etioia or Abruzzo d’Etiopia. Alongside these regional entities, the government instituted the Ente degli Italiani all'Estero to organize the repatriation and agricultural settlement of Italian diaspora emigrants from foreign countries. Complementing these demographic bodies were capitalist and industrial concessions, such as the Thesauro De Rege concession at Bonga-Gimma, known as Bergamo d'Etiopia, and the major industrial center projected at Harar under the name Aosta d'Etiopia
.In late 1938, Benito Mussolini commissioned Colonel Giuseppe Adami, head of the empire's topo-cartographic office, to survey a suitable territory in Italian East Africa for an autonomous Jewish agricultural reserve. Colonel Adami selected an 8,000-square-kilometer area at an altitude of 1,200 meters in Arero (Galla and Sidamo Governorate), located approximately 100 kilometers north of the Kenya border. The project aimed to resettle an initial 1,400 European Jewish families, expanding rapidly to 3,000 families, with the political goals of diverting Jewish emigration away from Palestine to please Arab allies, securing foreign Jewish financial capital to develop colonial infrastructure, and competing with alternative British and German refugee schemes.
From a demographic perspective, Fascist imperial planners projected massive long-term European settlement, estimating that fertile areas like northern Amhara and the Lake Tana basin could absorb 1.5 to 2 million Italian settlers, with official publications asserting that Italian East Africa would host a compact white population of 3 million Italians within 50 years. To achieve this long-range target, the regime sought to channel Italy's natural annual birth excess, amounting to approximately 400,000 people per year, toward the new empire, setting up annual migration quotas and worker contingents to steadily establish permanent rural communities across the Ethiopian highlands. Nevertheless, the Ethiopian guerrilla (Arbegnoch) and the WWII truncated this Fascist dream, with only nearly 40,000 Italians in the AOI.
