Diversa Pars (Map Game)

Welcome to the Diversa Pars  Map Game! In Latin, Diversa Pars means " The Reverse Side", and that is what this map game is all about. Basically, everything is exactly as it is in our timeline, except for items referencing history. Every nation and place exists, and acts the same as in OTL. However, it is our job to explain how these countries were formed, and what came before them. For example, say the city of Brasilia is the capital of Brazil because the former capital was destroyed in a war and is now swallowed up by the coastal Brazilian rainforest. If you claim a year, you have to explain the events happening during that year, and why they happened. If you end a war in your turn, then the person with the previous year has to explain what happens in that war. To claim a turn, just add yourself to the list. If you are planning to claim in the future, or are playing already, add yourself to the players list.

Rules

 * History will get stranger as you go farther back.
 * You may claim a turn in advance of the last turn if you are working on it by putting your name next to the next turn heading. (Ex: The year 1950 is finished, I may claim 1949 and work on it free from the fear that someone will make 1949 before you).
 * You cannot claim again if you have taken a turn two or less posters previously unless one day has passed without any claims.
 * No ASB Content. Mods may remove turns with ASB. Also, sometimes years (or decades or whole eras) may have long stretches of time where little happens for you to write about. That's history and it's okay.
 * Respect other players' wishes. You may not agree with them on the way the game will go but please don't turn it into a massive argument and please don't let it spill out onto the page for this game. Keep it to the talk page or the chat.
 * If someone alluded to an earlier event, when that time comes around, try to have it come about (e.g. someone hinted a massive battle outside Mumbai in the 1860s fifty turns earlier).
 * If you are going to foreshadow something, please make it relatively ambiguous. Don't say the exact year if it's 80 turns away.
 * Use .png format for the map only.
 * Edit the previous map, do not make a new one.
 * The map should be a 650 px thumbnail aligned to the center.
 * A map must be posted every turn.
 * There are plans for the future turns posted on the chat page, so please read up on those before you take your turn.
 * The Owner may revoke other moderator decisions.
 * Mods have the ability to delete ASB posts.
 * Post the map to the latest turn in the map category and change the year to the latest year.

Discussion
Upvote, sorry about this, but I do believe there is no Zimbabwe, and the Republic of Croatia is really Yugoslavia. Unless there was a name change.

Croatia was never Yugoslavia, that was not ever established as fact here. Also, this is Sat's turn. "Whatever you are, be a good one."  ( Talk | Sandbox )

Discussion
Spar, listen. You can't keep creating this much canon in every turn you make. It's giving the future turns less of room to grow and be creative. If you keep this up, I'll have no choice but to ban you again. "Whatever you are, be a good one."  ( Talk | Sandbox )

Discussion
Upvote, I have an issue. Mainly the Canada has Illinois. Chicago is in Illinois. Thus, The issue. Although, I think I could work around it.

Yeah, Battle of Chicago and all that. I guess Canada could take Illinois in the First Canadian-American war, but nothing more. "Whatever you are, be a good one."  ( Talk | Sandbox )

 * In the most important, and perhaps most dangerous, event of the year, the People's Union of Russia attempts to aid the Central American communist governments by building nuclear missile bases in them. The CIA discovers the plan, and informs Cascadia, the Dixieland Union, Mexico, and the United States of the Caribbean. Their response is to place a blockade around the Central American nations, warning Russia against any attempt to place nuclear weapons inside the countries. Russia sends a fleet of ships transporting the missles regardless. As Cascadia and the USA both have nuclear weapons, many begin to fear that this could be the start of nuclear war. For the next 13 days, from June 12 to June 25, tension between nuclear armed nations reaches an all time high. At the last moment, however, Russia agrees not to send nuclear weapons to the Central American nations if Cascadia and the USA both agree respect sovereignty of the Central American governments, to which both agree. Russia pulls back its ships, and the Central American Missle crisis ends.
