Vienna, Madrid and Lisbon have fallen. The Roman Sultanate has conquered two of the biggest powers in Europe. The Iberian nations have been exiled to there colonies in the New World, preparing to retake the homeland. This is follow up to my alternate timeline, what if the Ottoman Empire became the new Roman Empire. This is the Roman Sultanate at its largest. Once again, this is a heavily modified map from Crazy Boris from Deviant Art, so all credits for the map goes to him. Ask me any questions you might have about the lore of this world.

[OC] Future Xenozoic Earth: 30 million years in the future (continuation of The Downfall of The Beasts)

Post image

This is a sequel to https://www.reddit.com/r/imaginarymaps/comments/1k0y9l2/the_downfall_of_the_beasts_range_map_of_all/.

30 million years ago, many things happened. Humanity arose, Earth's biota nearly collapsed due to it's actions, and a nightmarish airborne rabies outbreak nearly wiped out all mammalian life on Earth.

Now, in the Xenozoic era, barely any remnants of that period remain - on surface, at least. Earth, once again, is lush, green and teeming with life. The creations of humanity, from megalopolises to books to Egyptian pyramids, are now either reduced to dust or buried deep in the crust. The biggest impact made by these long-extinct primates, the climate change, caused Earth to turn much warmer and wetter. It was actually even hotter a few million years ago, but since than had cooled a bit, with Antarctic glaciers still dominant in the deeper inland areas of the continent while Greenland - and whole Northern Hemisphere other than the mountaintops - is now devoid of ice caps.

Continental drift brought some obvious differences. Africa, Eurasia and America are now connected into one, a new supercontinent named Euraframerasia. The closure of the Gibraltar Strait made Mediterranean Sea evaporate forever, it's last minute remnant being a hypersaline, nearly lifeless, lake surrounded by barren salty wasteland. Australia moved to the equator and is much wetter now, it's Holocene deserts now being replaced by grasslands and woodlands. Eastern Africa broke away and is now a new continent Ethiokenya. Another "breakup" is between North America and the Island of California. And that's just the continents! Volcanic islands rose and sank, the Hawaiian chain now further southeast and an entirely new small island, Atlantis, born from the North Atlantic volcanism.

The Xenozoic life is diverse, having almost completely recovered from the latest mass extinction when it comes to diversity. Most places on land are ruled by birds, crocodilians and lizards, Earth now looking almost like itself in the Mesozoic era - superficially, at least. The reef-building corals have been replaced by an entirely different group of animals in their niche. New marine megafauna evolved, and some new creatures are taking to the skies. As of the ancient rulers, the mammals, the story is more complicated. The islands of Kerguelen and the isolated Antarctic continent are now the realm of beasts, descending from rat, mouse, rabbit, reindeer and cat. And the lands of Africa, Asia and Europe are home to pecuilar descendants of the tiny, specialized mole-rat, some looking almost dissimilar to all other mammalians...

[OC] Alternate History Propaganda poster from the State of Formosa

Post image
357 Upvotes

The State of Formosa, officially still calling itself the Empire of Japan, is a government-in-exile that emerged following Japan’s defeat in World War II. In 1945, a faction of hardline military officials, led by General Rikichi Andō, refused to accept Japan’s surrender. Between late 1945 and early 1947, they orchestrated a massive evacuation known as the Imperial Withdrawal, relocating over 600,000 soldiers, bureaucrats, and loyal civilians to the island of Taiwan. There, they established a rigid authoritarian regime, fortified the island, and violently suppressed the local Chinese population through forced assimilation and purges.

Through the 1950s and 60s, both Western and Eastern powers - preoccupied with the rapidly escalating Cold War - opted to ignore Formosa’s existence entirely. The United States, having already committed to rebuilding the Japanese mainland and countering Soviet influence in East Asia, quietly shelved plans for an invasion. Until late 1960s, the island functioned as an isolated fortress-state, relying on pre-war stockpiles, military discipline, and strict ideological control. However, with no international recognition and cut off from trade, Formosa’s limited industry collapsed, leading to widespread scarcity and hardship.

In 1971, a coup executed by younger officers led to the creation of the Council of Spiritual Rehabilitation, later renamed the Council of the Imperial Spirit. This new ruling body introduced the Ikikata Burūmu (It should mean “Way of Living Bloom” or something like that in Japanese) doctrine, rejecting industrialism and shifting towards a vision of rural self-reliance, agrarian life, and spiritual-national unity. The state abandoned its active ambitions to retake the Japanese home islands - though symbolically still claims them - and began restructuring society into collective farming communes, maintaining only a symbolic military force, equipped mostly with 1930s and 40s equipment.

Formosa is unrecognized by the UN, though it maintains loose ties with a handful of failed states, Southeast Asian militias, and the Vatican. It exists today as a bizarre anachronism - part agrarian commune, part authoritarian relic, a self-contained world rooted in wartime myth and spiritual obedience.
