Supremacy

This is an alternate timeline with several points of divergence, the main focus being the continuation of several states and cultures that came to an end in our timeline. There are kinds of changes, too, such as the Byzantines reconquering Anatolia, Christian kingdoms are founded after the Arab conquests and colonialism never happens.

Europe
Europe is even more divided than it is in OTL. Around the edges of the continent lie the large nation-states while towards the centre and the divisions begin to multiply.

Asia
Asia contains some of the world's largest countries.

Africa
The dark continent of Africa has been one of Earth's 7 continents. Away from the coasts and the limited trading bases, the huge kingdoms and sultanates struggles to raise their people's living standards.

Leifia
Leifia (OTL analogue to North America) was discovered by the Norse explorer Leif Erikson in 1000 AD. Population pressures from Iceland and Greenland led increasing numbers of Norse to settle the island they called Vinland. By 1020, death of Leif Erikson led to the creation of Leifian kingdoms. As the settlement increased the Norse soon came into contact with the native tribes, with whom they traded, taught European technologies and farming techniques. However, over time the populations introduced, and with the new farming techniques, horses, livestock introduced from Europe and Leifia. This allowed the tribes to flourish and form into nations.

Tawantis
Tawantis (OTL analogue to South America) developed into several kingdoms and empires during the High Middle Ages.

Australia
Australia is made up of the island of Australia, plus aboriginal countries.

Antarctica
Antarctica was discovered by the Italian explorer Christopher Columbus. Colonization of Antarctica following Columbus' death led to the creation of the European colonies in Antarctica. There are most antarctic colonies in the continent.

Comparisons to OTL

 * The Reconquista not only takes place in the Iberian Peninsula, it also takes place in North Africa, the Levant, Mesopotamia, southern Central Asia, western South Asia, Persia and Transcaucasia. All Christian kingdoms and Zoroastrian empires have been founded after the Muslim conquests.
 * Hebrew and Phoenician are separate Semitic languages, which in the alternate history it remained a living language in the Middle Ages and was revived as a spoken and written language by Count Lara I of Phoenicia.
 * Neither colonialism, nor European imperialism had happened, meaning the Europeans felt no need to colonize anything outside of Europe itself such as the Americas, Africa, Asia and Oceania. Antarctica would have been colonized by Europeans instead.
 * The Byzantines permanently taken Anatolia back, meaning the Turks were expelled from Anatolia by the Byzantines and changed their homeland.
