Another one of my own maps (yay for self-promotion), one I did nearly a year ago. This is a map of North America in a world where a slight difference at the Constitutional Convention results in the USA having its capital in Philadelphia and expand to ...

A map I made myself, depicting a world where a Muslim China rose after a fateful rebellion, which in our world killed nearly 100,000 rich Muslims in China in the 800s, never happened. This map, written in a modified version of Anglo-Saxon English due ...
