EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY: The Delaware River is renamed to the MARYLAND RIVER!
A map of the Delaware River area. "Delaware" in the title of the map is scribbled out in red and "Maryland" is written on top of it. The Maryland-Delaware border is also colored over and the label for the State of Delaware is scribbled out.

Everyone loves talking about the “median voter”, but nobody ever mentions that half of all voters are below that.
Screenshot of a news article, reading:

In the week after the June 24 primary election for mayor, I was determined to meet with voters in conservative neighborhoods where Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani (D-Astoria), a democratic socialist, had performed surprisingly well. In a Howard Beach precinct where Mamdani won, I met a couple who, despite being conservative, voted for Mamdani because they bizarrely thought he had run "to the right" of former Gov. Andrew Cuomo and also believed he was Italian-American, as his name ended in an "i" and he was from Astoria.

When I dug further into why they thought he was running "to the right" of Cuomo, they noted that it was because he discussed "prices" and "cost of living," as Donald Trump had in 2024. They both voted for Trump. They had a hard time believing Mamdani was a socialist because they believed socialists "support making everything more expensive.”

Trusted sources are telling me that Iran is only two weeks away from having a fully functional build of Half Life 3!
A news tweet with the headline “Iranian state media claims there will be a surprise tonight that the ‘world will remember for centuries’”. The original tweet is quote tweeted with a YouTube thumbnail, jokingly speculating that Half Life 3 will be released tomorrow.

The Holy Roman Empire in the year 1618, on the eve of the 30 Years' War. I've been working on this map for a week or two, and I finally had the time to finish it. I'm very proud of how it turned out!
A digitally-drawn map of the Holy Roman Empire in 1618. Various important states and noble houses are shown in different colors, and there is a key on the left. There are two smaller maps on the right, one showing each state's religion, and one showing which side each state took in the 30 Years' War.

The resemblance is… frightening…
The fourth Gus image, but the right half is replaced by Trump’s second inauguration photo. Trust me, they look pretty similar!

His name is Gus. The 4th picture is my favorite, especially because we took it just a few days after Trump’s 2nd inauguration photo was released.
Gus, an orange cat with a white belly, looking towards the camera and making a silly angry face.Gus, sitting inside a potted plant and looking upwards towards the plant’s leaves.Gus, sitting in the bathroom sink, looking at a baby terrapin in its cage.Gus, making the same face as Trump’s second inauguration portrait. His right eye is fully open and his left eye is squinted, and his brows are angled inwards, forming a determined expression.

*References the time zone map on my wall* Yeah, I have to agree with you there. Even if Ohio and Indiana had to be together, Ohio should go in Central, not the other way around.

A new pope has been chosen. Here's a look into an alternate world, where the Papal Conclave elected Joe Biden instead. Naturally, Pope Joe would have moved the Vatican to Delaware, so he could be more at home in his work. Maybe next time, the Conclave will make the right choice and elect Joe...
A map of the middle of Wilmington, Delaware. Major streets are colored in dark gray. A roughly-rectangular area between King, Walnut, Fourth, and Eleventh Streets is outlined, and the buildings in it are colored a medium gray. This is the New Vatican City. A more zoomed out map is in the upper left corner, showing New Vatican City in yellow.

The European Federation was the guarantor of security in Southern Europe, and their civil war left a power vacuum in the region. The resurgent nations of Hungary and Turkey, energized by recent nationalist revolutions, were determined to take advantage of this opportunity.
A map of the Balkans and Anatolia, titled "The Third Balkan War in March 1939". Three conflicts are shown on the map:

The Soviet Invasion of Crimea - The Soviet Union is invading the Russian State, which controls Crimea and is supported by the Kingdom of Italy. Crimea is partially occupied by Soviet forces along its northern coast.

The Second Hungarian-Romanian War - Several Romanian provinces in northeast Transylvania have risen up and are supported by the Hungarian Republic and the Kingdom of Italy. They are fighting the Kingdom of Romania which is supported by the Soviet Union.

The Second Anatolian War - The Hellenic Republic (Greece), the Kingdom of Kurdistan, and the Republic of Armenia are fighting against the Turkish National Republic and the Kingdom of Italy. Greece has its modern borders, plus Northern Epirus, parts of Eastern Thrace, and Smyrna. Kurdistan controls Kurdish-majority lands in modern-day Iraq, Syria, and Turkey, as well as a strip of coastal land. Kurdistan also occupies part of Iran. Armenia has Wilsonian borders. There is an international zone which controls the Dardanelles and Bosporus, which is partially occupied by Turkey. Turkey controls the rest of modern-day Turkish territory. Italy has its modern borders plus Istria and central Albania.

At the end of World War I, the German Empire has in the midst of conflict and revolution. The liberals, after seizing control of the government, made an bid to the French Republic for Germany to be annexed into the French administration. From this offer, the European Federation was born in 1919.

The colonial borders of Africa artificially split some groups apart and forced others together. However, over the 21st Century, many of those borders changed or disappeared entirely. One such border was between the two Congo republics, who became united by common language and geography.
A map of Central Africa, centered on the Congo region. It shows a country controlling the territory of the Republic of the Congo and the Democratic Republic of the Congo, minus the Kivu provinces. The country is labelled the United Republic of the Congo and its flag is in the bottom-left of the map.

The flag is green and blue, diagonally divided with yellow, red, and yellow lines running from the top-right to bottom-left, and it has the outline of a yellow star in the top-right corner.

Everyone knows that Maryland is the greatest state in the United States, maybe even the whole world. The surrounding inferior states know this too, and have conspired numerous times to steal Maryland's rightful land. This map depicts a better world, one where these awful injustices never occurred.
A map showing an enlarged form of the State of Maryland. Delaware and the District of Columbia are consumed into the state. The state's northern border is moved up to the 40th Parallel, and Salem, Gloucester, Camden, Cumberland, Atlantic, and Cape May counties from New Jersey are also part of Maryland. The Virginian part of the Delmarva Peninsula, the Northern Neck, Middle Peninsula, and Virginia Peninsula, and the northern parts of Norfolk and Virginia Beach are all part of Maryland.

This map has been occupying my time over the last two weeks, but I'm glad to say it's done. This is part of a larger project, which I will hopefully finish and share in the near future. Keep your eyes out for that!
A political map of North America. Greenland, Canada, the United States, and Mexico are all colored in orange, red, blue, and green respectively. NATO and NAFTA are shown with light green and dark blue outlines respectively, outlining their member countries. The US's Pacific territories are in boxes in the bottom right of the map, colored in a lighter blue. The map says "July 2016" in the top left, and has informational boxes about the countries at the bottom. Greenland and Mexico have their names and colors shown in a box, as well as NATO and NAFTA in another box. The United States and Canada each have their own box, showing their color, flag, capital city, leader's name, and ruling party.

Hey everyone, I'm back with another map. The idea for this map came from my brother, who proposed that the northeast United States would secede and form their own country. I think these borders are semi-realistic in the highly unlikely event of a national divorce.
A map of a fictional country in the northeast United States, with Maryland, Delaware, New Jersey, New York, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, Vermont, New Hampshire, and Maine in red. These states form the United States of the North Atlantic, which also occupies the span of I-95 in Pennsylvania. The information box says that the president is Bernie Sanders, the population is 52,070,121, the capital is Newark, and the largest city is New York.

Here's another map from my scenario where France wins the Napoleonic Wars. This map depicts all of Europe controlled by France on the eve of Napoleon I's death. France is in personal union with Italy and the Confederation of the Rhine, while Holland, Iberia, and Naples are ruled by puppet kings.
A map showing western Europe with several countries. The French Empire controls all of modern France and Belgium, as well as Catalonia, the Dalmatian coast (which is labelled "the Illyrian Provinces"), German territory to the Rhine River, and the French-speaking parts of Switzerland. The rest of Iberia is united into the Kingdom of Iberia, and to the north, the Kingdom of Holland controls modern Dutch territory. The Kingdom of Italy controls northern Italy and the Italian regions of Switzerland. The Kingdom of Naples controls southern Italy. Rome and the surrounding area is not under the control of either country. The Helvetic Republic controls the German-speaking parts of Switzerland, and the Confederation of the Rhine controls Germany, as described in this post: https://bsky.app/profile/autumnmaps.bsky.social/post/3leaj6kp4sk2h.

A few days ago, I realized that there's a New England and New Scotland (Nova Scotia) right next to each other, and that inspired me to make this map. I haven't come up with any lore for it, so feel free to reply with your own ideas!
A map of a country in New England and Eastern Canada. The map is divided into 21 areas, with New York City and Long Island in orange, New England in red, and Nova Scotia and New Brunswick in yellow. Acadia is in light yellow.
The map's legend says "The United Kingdom of New Britain and Long Island", with the country's flag and the following information:
Monarch: Oliver Noah II
Capital: Boston
Population: 14,000,000
Primary Languages: New English, Acadian, Yorkish

Here's the long-awaited map four from the State of Norhaven. Filling the gap between Cape County and Stuart County, this is Hyde County. Its county seat is South Beach, which is considered by some to be an honorary part of the City of Hastings.
A map of a round county, labelled Hyde County. The east of the county is coastal, with a long barrier island labelled South Beach, and a smaller island north of it called Nordton. West of these islands is a bay, with two rivers extending further west. There are two towns on the bay: Clarendon, to the south, and Edward's Bay, to the north. North of Edward's Bay is South Stuart City. At the end of the southern river, there are the towns of Reservoir Township and Crossroads. At the end of the northern river, there is a large town called Clarendon Heights.

Here's my map of the Confederation of the Rhine in 1830, in a world where France won the Napoleonic Wars. In this timeline, Napoleon does not create the Duchy of Warsaw, and further appeases Russia by sanctioning an invasion and partition of the Ottoman Empire.
A map labelled "The Confederation of the Rhine, 18 January 1830 / 28 Nivôse XXXVIII". It has eight regions. In light blue there is: The Grand Duchy of Baden and the Kingdom of Württemberg which correspond to their historical borders, the Kingdom of Bavaria which has its historical borders plus Tyrol, and the Kingdom of Saxony, which has its historical borders plus some additional territory to its west. In dark blue there is the Grand Duchy of Berg, the Grand Duchy of Nassau, and the Grand Duchy of Würzburg, all of which have their historical borders with the historical Grand Duchy of Hessen partitioned between them. In green there is the Kingdom of Westphalia, which has its historical borders plus a strip of land that stretches south along the border with Saxony.

This is map number three from the State of Norhaven, depicting Stuart County. It is located northwest of Hastings and borders New Jersey to its north. The county is deeply intertwined with the two large cities it borders, especially the neighborhood of Minden which is practically an exclave.
A map of a vaguely rectangular county pointing diagonally northwest. The southeast corner is a developed coastline with a bunch of islands, one of which is labeled Minden. The mainland coast also has cities named Stuart City and Jersey Bay City. West of these, there are the towns Intertion, Aground Point, and Aground Town, located in the middle of the county. In the far west of the county, there is a rectangle-shaped hole, with suburbs around it labeled New Haven Row, College Banks, and Outer Hawthorne.

Here's the second map from the State of Norhaven, this time featuring Cape County, the southernmost county in the state. Located on a peninsula along the Atlantic Ocean, Cape County is known for its beautiful beaches.
A map of a southward-pointing peninsula. The east side of the peninsula is lined with barrier islands, which from south to north are named: Peako Bay, Lower Wryden, Wryden's Cove, Long's Point, Shoal City, and Hallton.

This is the first map in my series about the fictional state of Norhaven, which is located in the Mid-Atlantic United States. This map depicts Hastings, Norhaven's highly developed capital and largest city.
A top-down map of a city on several islands, with a coastline generally resembling Atlantic City, New Jersey. It is split into 4 counties, named Kurfurst, Hanseara, Atlantis, and Mill.
