For you alt-history mavens, here are 20 maps that never happened.  Feel free to use any of those as prompts in a suitable prompt call.  The high-speed rail looks a bit like an early, truncated version of the robust mass-transit system that Terramagne-America enjoys.

Thank goodness for maps with attached descriptions. :)

The invasion of Canada one gives me the creeps, just from the details described. Winnipeg and Quebec City my sparkly blue behind. Generalplan Ost is also horrifying, if for different reasons, as is the drained Mediterranean for the racist/colonial details.

The map that creeps me out the most

Is actually the invasion of Japan.

My grandfather missed that by /days/. He was in Japan after the bombs dropped, but never, not /ever/ said one word about it. I found out from my grandmother when she mentioned it as part of a different family story.

that was... thirty years after the fact. German stoicism only goes so far.

There is no "GOOD" war.

The "America divided into 50 equal-population states" one is fascinating. Now I'd like to see one of America divided into 50 states of equal area, with relative population shown by shading. Of course, that gets into weird shit with Alaska and Hawai'i...
