Was this made with Google Translate? Tacchino is turkey the bird, Turkey the nation is Turchia. Also Kurditerra feels weird, just call them Kurdistan or whatever.
USSR in 1956*
The Roman people were fond of liberty long before the principles of Enlightened Egalism were laid out by the illustrious Persian philosopher Karim Marsavi. Over centuries, they rose again and again, struggling against the Patrician oppressors and their Equestrian lackeys. Slaves and plebeians, farmers and soldiers, fishers and miners - all under the heel of the blood-hungry emperor. What they lacked though was unity: unity of thought, of purpose, of struggle. It took centuries to attain it. And in 1917, when Persian and Saxon hordes wreaked havoc in the Eternal Realm, it finally bore fruit. The people rose, and under the ardent leadership of the Spartakist Party and its glorious Tribune, Valerio Linnius, overthrew the rotten imperial apparatus. Now, nearly four decades later, the world laments the departure of his successor, Ioanni Staglio. It was under his guidance that the Union persevered through the terrible trials of the Great Patriotic Struggle against yet another Persian and Saxonian invasion. The future may seem dark for the moment, but the flame of the Revolution is always there, ready to be carried forward.

Looking forward to seeing Europe. And I hope you go back to Africa for some more lore: there are quite a few countries I'm curious about.

VALORANT's Servers Distribution Wold Map (Q4 2023)
Here's a map showing every location (up to the fourth quarter of 2023) used to host servers for the game Valorant (from Riot Games), as well their respective regions/shards of intended use separated by color being the folowing: Americas (clusters NA - North America, LATAM - Latin America, BR - Brazil); EMEA (cluster EU - Europe); Asia-Pacific (clusters AP - Asia-Pacific, KR - Korea, CN - China). It's done using 2K-BAM

Great map! Small nitpick cos it's my hometown, Düsseldorf should be on the right bank of the Rhine.
Cool idea for an ISOT! I’d be interested to see more of this setting.
Here's The Map of the Annexed Territories and the Division inside the Empire. After the Battle of Trapani, All of Italy proper was part of the Italian Revolutionary Republic. After the Collapse of Austria, Tyrol and Dalmatia were annexed into it as well. After The Empire was established and Italy turned on France, Provence was added to the Nizza territory. After a joint Portugeuse-Italian Attack, most of former Spain was annexed into the Republic of Portugal, apart from Aragona. But Italy did keep the Balearic Islands and Ceuta, and seized Gibraltar after a brief siege. The Biggest ones came with the War of the Fifth Coalition, When Italy defeated the Ottoman Empire, it kept some key locations for itself. The Port of Algeria was annexed into Italy, and an area around Tunis (renamed into Carthage). He also annexed Ragusa, (an Ottoman Ally) the Coast of Albania in order to block the Adriatic, the Peloponnese to supervise Greece, the Islands of Crete, Rhodes, and Cyprus to further control the Mediterranean, and Finally both sides of the Marmara Sea to control the valuable trade area, control Russian Trade, and also to boast that he now had both Romes.
Great stuff. If I know my stuff correctly though, “Littorale” doesn’t really make sense for Istria since it’s not the only or main littoral region in the empire. That name was given in the context of AUSTRIA where that was the case. The term Julian Venetia (Venezia Giulia) is a few decades away but the tern Istria exists, or perhaps call it Carniola or Littoral Carniola? Carniola Littorale? Fits near perfectly IMO.
Oof. I'll make sure to keep that in mind. I was actually gonna use Istria but for some reason i though that Istria was only applicable to the peninsula
THE OTTOMAN CRISIS 1814-1815
After the capture of Rome and the end of the First Italian Empire, Britain and France had hoped to re-establish the Ottoman Empire in its entirety. However, Austria and Russia had different Ideas. Both Austria and Russia wanted to use the opportunity to completely destroy the Scourge of Europe. And they weren't budging, especially considering that Austria and Russia occupied large swathes of Non-Turkish Territory in the Balkans, while the British only was occupying Cyprus. Furthermore, the restored Ottoman Government only had control over some parts of the Empire, as a lot was controlled by Ethnic Separatists and Turkish Revolutionaries. That's not even the mess that was the Levant, as Crusading Orders that had set up HQ during Italian Occupation had declared the "United Orders of Jerusalem", and was even recognized by the Pope. This caused the Ottoman Crisis, where a Diplomatic Deadlock between Russia and Austria, and France and Britain. There was also Prussia/North Germany, but they stood annoyingly neutral on the matter, as they wanted to procure diplomatic support from Russia and Britain on the legitimacy of the North German Confederation. The Deadlock lasted for so long, however, that a proxy war began, with Britain and France supporting the Ottoman Government, and Russia and Austria supporting the Separatists. While the Ottoman Government won a good amount of victories, the sheer mass of the rebels overtook them, and what was once the Ottomans turned into a bickering mess of Ethnic Kingdoms and Warlords. All that remained of the Ottomans was the rump Republic of Turkey, who managed to procure most of Anatolia, but A Greco-Russian Army stopped them from seizing Ionia or the Bosporus. For the Next Century, the Balkans would be little more than a battleground between Austrian and Russian influence, while the Middle Eastern land would do what it had been doing before Ottoman Rule, which was trying to re-assert the Caliphate.
Well it IS but terms for specific regions do sometimes get expanded when surrounding territories are appended to them
