    Not enough fuck you in those lines. You need to have the borders cut off historical populations from each other or put a bunch of clashing ethnic groups in the same state. Like make a border running right through paris or smash all the balkans back together.

      Suggestions for maximum chaos and discord:

      • Split the Nordic peninsula into 3 countries, but borders run east-west. People in former Finland have to go through another country to get around the Gulf of Bothnia / Baltic Sea.
      • Expand borders of Germany, you know, just so they can have some Lebensraum. There won’t be any issues with that surely.
      • Balkan superstate. Make sure everyone has a voice in its vibrant democracy, but gerrymander the hell out of it.
      • Merge southern France, Spain and Italy so the merged country can have maximum Mediterranean beachfront. Just think of the tourism revenues!
      • Leave Northern Ireland exactly as it is.

      It sure wouldn’t be if it was Sykes or Picot drawing those borders.

    Great alternate history science fiction novel. What if the Black Plague had killed 99% of the European population. Who would have stepped up?

        No, the Black Death killed about half of the population.

        I’ll edit.

A community for Cartographers with nothing left to lose.

Rules:

Don’t be awful Lemmy Guidelines Still Apply.

No direct upload images This is hosted on Lemm.ee- to post images, you must use an image upload service like Imgur to post maps.

We are agents of chaos I’ve created this to be the alternative to the community I used to manage on the website that shalt not be named “mapporncirclejerk”

Live and let die Meme trends happen, so please don’t message mods asking to take down maps that are repetitive to a bit.

Reposts Vs. Covers Not all reposts are evil- if someone posts something that has been done years ago, it serves to bring old memes to the new users. I call these meme covers. However it can be done in excess which makes it a repost and spam. Mods will determine if a post is a cover or a repost.

No impersonating mods I can’t believe I had to make this rule.

No harassing mods on an appeal We can talk it out, and we will be acting in good faith when making decisions. If you disagree with a removal, you are free to message for clarification or to appeal by giving some added context.

Bans Bans will be set to a maximum of 365 days for humans, and a minimum of 365 years for bots. I believe people can change, so if you are banned for good reason, do know that it is not permanent, it is just a way to say “take time to grow and come back when you are ready”.
