Diversa Pars (Map Game)

Welcome to the Diversa Pars  Map Game! In Latin, Diversa Pars means "T he 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 on claiming 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.

1974
Americas Europe Africa Asia/Australia Notes
 * Nebraska votes to join the US, in a close vote.
 * The Fourth Canadian-American War begins, as Canada invades the US state of Erie.
 * After the Scandinavian Empire collapses, which gives the Union of the North independence. It is able to join the commonwealth, as it belonged to Britain before WWII. (see note #1)
 * Belgium joins the European Economic Union (EEU)
 * Romania overthrows it's communist government.
 * Scandinavia collapses, which gives independence to Sweden, Finland, the Union of the North, and Scandinavia's former African colonies.
 * England admits the Union of the North into the commonwealth. (see note #1)
 * Scandinavia's colonies in Africa are freed. Liberia, formerly British, is handed back.
 * The Arabian Civil War ends, as Iran and Sudan both gain independence. Britain gives up Palestine, afraid that Arabia could invade it (to get more land).
 * Russia continues invading the Caucasia province of Arabia, and helps Iran and Sudan in the Arabian Civil War.
 * [1] - I have a few ideas and revisions to our WWII idea. Firstly, I don't believe Russia would go from Fascist to Communist, so it probably wouldn't participate in the war. Spain probably wouldn't be Fascist either, because it seems as if it has gotten no punishments from their war loss. There could be a civil war in Spain in the 50's, where no one tries to stop it because of the recent WWII. As for Britain's punishment, I presume the fascist dynasty would have been replaced with the Royal Family again, and they would be forced to give up Canada and their African colonies. Cascadia would gain independence earlier. As for Liberia and the Union of the North, it probably would have been originally colonies by Scandinavia (back in the 1800's), which were either bought or taken by Britain (in the early 1900's), then given back to Scandinavia after WWII. That way, it would also allow these nations to be in the commonwealth.

Disscussion
Eric, your turn has been removed for two reasons. Firstly, the turn is extremely implausible. Germany would not be wanked whatsoever, and Denmark would have no reason to colonize Sudan (I've wanked them enough). Secondly, you did not follow the deadline (I would have let it slide if you told us it would be late). Next time, please stop with the ASB. "Whatever you are, be a good one."  ( Talk | Sandbox )

Also, HOLY FUCK I JUST REALIZED! This is the exact same Europe map from your Imperial Machines timeline! "Whatever you are, be a good one."  ( Talk | Sandbox )
