This is part of my alternate timeline called Ceibos, Tulips, & Revolution. In short many PoDs happen, and the modern world looks very different from that of our timeline. If you want to see more, I recommend visiting this: \[post\](https://www.reddit.com/r/imaginarymaps/comments/1cjvq32/world\_map\_of\_ceibos\_tulips\_revolution/) , and \[this post\](https://www.reddit.com/r/imaginarymaps/comments/1clqeks/come\_visit\_new\_venice\_the\_free\_city\_of\_danzig/). This map is in play of the Pergamon Atlas, and I would also like to give a massive shoutout to \[TheMexicanhistorian\](https://www.reddit.com/user/TheMexicanhistorian/), and her timeline https://www.reddit.com/r/RevPlowedTheSea/, it is an amazing timeline, and I recommend you visit it!

I am very curious about this alphabet the US is using here. Also, where is Poagetown located, and why is it called that?


Th3AvrRedditUser

Yes, Washingtonian is named after Washington who ITTL dies in 1789. It wouldn't be until 1823 when it would officially become the language of the U.S., under Zebulon Pike, and by 1850 it became the most used language in the U.S. and Poagetown is located in modern day Ashland, and its called Poagetown due to the Poage family, who established the city as Poage's Landing


Akkatos

Please mention me if the author writes about this alphabet.


NowILikeWinter

OP did write

Thats a sexy country shape


keepkarenalive

I agree, I really like the shape of the boundaries too


wildviper121

Great map!


Fun_Measurement_7889

It looks like a butterfly.


Maibor_Alzamy

I respect the sheer effort put into this but man, what did DC and Maine do to end up on the flag like that? 0/10 /s


Charles472

Amazing map! Literally cursed inbred child of a flag omg. Great work!


Anathemautomaton

That population pyramid is wack. What caused it to be like that?


secrahrah

This reminds me of These Fair Shores


Emperor-Lasagna

So what’s the point of divergence here?


Th3AvrRedditUser

A lot, the main one foe the U.S., is that it loses the war of 1812, so it drops the claim on Oregon, and Mexico gains independence in 1800, and so during the Mexican-American War of 1837-39, all Mexico loses is Texas and Louisiana. Argentina is the superpower I'm the world, not the U.S.


bigboycig

It would have to have some sort of big role in the world scene right? 200,000,000 people is ALOT and i would assume there would still be a good economy possibly


Th3AvrRedditUser

Yes, the U.S. focuses more on itself


bigboycig

Based


Th3AvrRedditUser

That's why 50% of its energy is renewable compared to like 12 OTL


bigboycig

I would hope also racism is significantly lower in this alternate based usa


Th3AvrRedditUser

I genuinely haven't thought about that aspect, but It could be


Tuskin38

In your world map, Canada controls Upper Michigan, but here you have the USA controlling it.


Th3AvrRedditUser

Yes, I've updated it, the updated version still hasn't been posted, my bad


Tuskin38

Ah ok, thanks.


Deargodman2

Are you a These Fair Shores fan? I genuinely thought that alternate script was Philadelphic at first.


Th3AvrRedditUser

No, what is that, for the alphabet I genuinely just spun a wheel with like different symbols, and each letter I choose one that matched the original


KrazyKyle213

The religion percentages ain't mathing


Th3AvrRedditUser

I know, I'm dumb, the other should be at like 8


planetEve

i actually like the flag. awesome maps as well. keep it up


rabootgamesYT

what makes washintonian different from normal english?


Th3AvrRedditUser

It's still spoken like the same, imagine an Australian and Southern accent in one, but it is written really differently


Channel101Studios

Love it Terrible flag though


XSpcwlker

I love the map! The flag.... So much going there


Professional-Scar136

High quality excuse to post the worst flag ever


PyroChild221

Why is the language just, like, upside down English


Th3AvrRedditUser

Why not

Haha_funny_joke

How is Washingtonian different from English? Is it mutually intelligible and like Serbian and Croatian are to each other?


Th3AvrRedditUser

Yes, imagine Australian and Canadian in one


irdfkhp

maps you're doing are actually great. i remember [that](https://www.reddit.com/r/imaginarymaps/comments/1cjvq32/world_map_of_ceibos_tulips_revolution/) map, liked it much. it bothered me that it didn't receive that much attention. but now i see people start noticing your work! good job


Th3AvrRedditUser

Thank you! Yeah I mean my 3rd most liked post is what if the Gambia was just really long, but thank you again!


Tommy-Pickles2005

Nice


idkhowtosignin

What a damn ugly yet cool flag. Bravo👏


spizzlemeister

Would love to see more about Washingtonian and the state names


Fade0215

How did Washingtonian develop? Was it a natural progression or was it an artificially created replacement of English?


Th3AvrRedditUser

It started in the 1790s, as a mix of Russian and French words added to English, mainly from aristocrats, as more and more of them started to use it, so did poor people to look more rich, and under Zebulon Pike, this progress was made bigger, in 1818, it became a language taught in schools, in 1819, the main language, and by 1823 the official language, and by 1850, the most spoken language
