-THE LEAGUE OF PARIS TIMELINE-
THE NATIONS OF THE WORLD IN 2020
EUROPE - NATIONS OF INTEREST
THE 6TH REPUBLIC OF FRANCE
The mother country of modern democracy, France spent centuries as the global world power. Her domination over Europe has remained secure even in the face of Italian unification, and decline of her overseas empire, holding the continent together by the century old Union of European States.
WESTPHALIA
Established as the Westphalian Confederation of the Rhine, this nation serves as a geopolitical buffer placed on Germany - acting as France's forward shield against aggression from the revanchist Deutscher
-Bund.
DEUTSCHER-BUND
Formed in the early 20th century, the German Confederation seeks aggressive expansion into neighbouring territories - to liberate Germans living under Czech, Polish, Westphalian and French domination.
REPUBLIC OF DENMARK
A reduced nation, no longer the dominant power of northern Europe, Denmark is guided towards radicalism; with clashes brewing with the far left and far right. It seeks revenge on the continent for its long history of decline.
THE IBERIAN UNION
Formed from the fires of the Franco-Iberian Civil War, the Iberian Union is now one of France's strongest allies - its independence recognised and respected by its former master. The Iberian Union looks to contain the Pan-Arab state in the Mediterranean and operates an aggressive naval blockade on its Atlantic edges.
CZECHIA
Sandwiched between the German Confederation and the Polish Commonwealth, Czechia hosts a large French military presence and is a vocal supporter of the UES.
MAGYAR REPUBLIC
Resurrected following the rout of the Ottomans from Central Europe, France installed a strengthened Hungarian republic to act as the southern protector of the European plain. Today, it remains France's strongest ally in the region.
BRITISH CONFEDERATION
The pluralistic federal power that rose in a war for its independence from the three occupying powers now stands as a powerful European power hostile to any and all mainland influence. Paid handsomely by the Dutch State, the British allow the Channel to remain under Dutch influence - for now.
THE GRAND REPUBLIC OF THE NETHERLANDS
The financial center of the world for centuries, the Dutch have no permenant allies, exist everywhere, and are seemingly involved in every conflict. Despite the decline of many of her overseas possessions, the Dutch still retain increased holdings in Guangdong Province, Ceylon and Singapore - and enjoy support from their former colonies of New Holland and
Oranje Vrijstaat (South Africa). Whatever country you live in, the chances are that you know of a company based in Amsterdam - companies whose biggest shareholders are often the Dutch State.

aaaaand im officially tired so im going to list other quirky things about this timeline and end this here
lusitanian commonwealth is south america and they get on pretty well as a pluralistic loosely organised federation of Portuguese, morrocan, english, danish and many native communities
Alyeska (Alaska) Free State is split between a slavic ancap state a hellish anarcho-islamist faction with mass ethnic cleansings and internal conflict between the ruling ethnic russian minority and the Iberian-Moroccan population
Etats Unis is the free united states, who broke free from france and now act as the isolationist superpower of the western hemisphere against colonialism, ironically they also own the 'Tonkin Concession', an area of indochina occupied by peacekeeping forces
mexica is a cartel state
Yucatan governate is hostile to mexica, it is the only surviving true indigenous state in the new world
Caribbia is formed of Cuba, Jamaica and other islands around it - it operates as a tax haven for the world and is unique in its relationship with the netherlands
antilles is a french proxy through the french intelligence services rigging every election
Vinland is a federal state like Canada - but has a severe issue around the Hudson Bay and the hinterland of the west, lots of libertarian and traditionalist militias (Folkists, kind of like pagan neo-nazis meets Ruby Ridge) and it's a serious challenge to the government in Christianfjord (Newfoundland)
Ottomans consumed Tunis and formed a pan-arab state that survives through radical islamic practices and government, existing in a state of heightened sharia law. it now controls the supply of oil to many countries in the world and perpetuates the spread of their militaristic, monocultural islam
Tunis now exists as a central african dictatorship of El-Adna, ruled by Tunisian elites of the former north african empire
the Sahel/Sahara regions are home to Mauritania, Mali, Chad and Sudan - who all oppose the Pan-Arabian Islamic Republic, they are supported by the Ethiopian Sultanate and the Sultanate of Zanzibar
The Orange Free State is a racially diverse society, ruled by a power-sharing council of African and Dutch settlers. It enjoys strong ties to the Dutch state and is the richest country in Africa-proper.
Ivory Coast is a loose commonwealth of African and Dutch trade cities that now form a powerful Christian minority in the African continent. A strong naval power and a producer of oil through Nigeria, the Ivory Coast provides an energy alternative to enemies of the Pan-Arab State
Persia stretches into India, pushed there by the Ottomans before turning on their masters and taking the land and wealth for themselves - it is the most powerful Shia country and faces rivals in the Pan-Arabs and Hindustan
Hindustan is the unified Indian state that formed after the collapse of the Ming Dynasty
Central Asia is divided into proxy republics of influence, they are; Turkistan, Aralstan and Kazakhstan
Mongolia and People's Republic of Eastern Mongolia (Juche) lie to the north of China
Free Manchuria and Unified Korea both became syndicalist/Juche nations in the decades following the Japanese revolution
Japan is a syndicalist (communist) country
The Ming Dynasty collapsed and the Chinese Republic was born - and was attacked and encrouched on from all directions - Tibet has formed, a nation of Uyghurs formed south of Mongolia and Shanghai and Shandong were occupied as international "economic zones" where western powers project domination over china's industries
Siam is an absolute monarchy, so is Burma and Greater Cambodia
Indonesia is an extremist islamic republic, much like the Ottoman successor state
New Holland bought the Micronesian Federation and Pacific Kingdom and now use them as company-states, the islands and their trade property of the Greater Pacific Trade Partnership.
Nye Danmark became Aotearoa and exists as a Maori majority state
russia is like the united states in this timeline - a vast powerful nation, with huge agriculture and industry, it is the sleeping giant of the world
