User blog:Eastward Expansion/Advanced World

I've been thinking a lot recently. With Rise of Roses currently on hold (with no Smallpox to sort out our problems) I'm starting to think that I should start a new TL. Right now there are a lot of community projects out there, I don't think we need another one at the moment. Though I'd love to take any suggestions and let people who want to help out! So any way, on to the basic principle of my idea.

Basically, an much more advanced world. The POD is that the renaissance starts about 1000 A.D. This means that by 1096, the renaissance is in full swing. This means a lot more religious tolerance, meaning no crusade. Meaning, that the more advanced Muslim World has much better relations with the Christian Kingdoms, which causes trading technologies. Technology spreads quickly. Soon, the world is (on average) 200 years more advanced than our own! By the early 20th century, there are several Moon Nations are gaining independence!

By 2010, all the planets and most of the moons in our solar system have seen humans (though there are planets that can't be colonized). The Sun is the last thing in our solar system that posses real adventure, as no living thing has ever gone close to it.

Man realizes that it would take 700 years to travel to the nearest star system (though the entire galaxy is now mapped out) and contents itself on our System (the Sol System). No contact with any aliens has occurred yet.

I'm still creating the basics for this world, but I have a map of Earth!



As you can see, I'm not quite done. I've finished the Western Hemisphere, and I'm currently working on Europe and Africa.

Labeled Nations are ones the are complete.

So tell me your thoughts, and please comment!
